Hello there folks. So I was looking for a way to remove saved "logins", basically like when you go to a site and then you click in the email box and a bunch of emails show up.. I wanted to remove this, someone mentioned removing logins SO i ended deleting all my logins!! I was able to restore an old "logins.json" file which has all my passwords (thankfully) however when I go back to opening firefox, there are no passwords/ I can see that firefox automatically creates a new "logins" and "logins backup" file but will not read from the restored one. I have tried deleting the new "logins" file and renaming the old one, nothing works. Any help would be much appreciated!!

You would probably restore the matching key4.db file (encryption key) for the logins.json file you copies, so check whether you have this key4.db file.
