How do I get Firefox to pull my stored password file after restoring it? I've copied over my file to the new profile, but it won't pull in my saved passwords.

I copied my password file over from my old profile, but they still aren't showing when I use Firefox. When I open the Privacy and Security tab, there aren't any stored passwords listed even though i copied my old password file. Please help! Thanks!

Copy everything from the old profile to the new one.

Thanks! I tried that but it didn't work. It looks like every time I log on, it's creating a temp profile. I can see all of my bookmarks, just not the saved passwords for some reason.
