I cannot find an old Firefox folder. I have looked in profile and found 2 logins.json files, dated 21.03 & 09.03, the earlier says corrupt, have copied both together with the sqlite file. How do I open these files to check them ? Tried Firefox in Safe Mode, still no logins. Help would be appreciated, thank you

key3.db [v58+] key4.db and logins.json : These are the Password files.

Look for these files in the profiles folder and post the full name and date of each.
