logins.json and key3.db [v58+]key4.db : These are the password files. Copy Both !


Look on your desktop. Do you see a folder called; Old Firefox? Look inside. Look for the folder with the latest creation date.

Is there a logins-backup.json file in the profile folder that Firefox creates as a backup also removed ?

If you have this logins-backup.json file and it contains login data then make sure to keep a backup if this file in a safe place. You can copy logins-backup.json as logins.json to the main profile location to replace the current logins.json. Otherwise you need logins.json and key4.db from the "Old Firefox Data" folder on the desktop like posted above.
