I have upgraded from Win XP to Win 7. I updated my profile using Mozbackup and all my bookmarks transferred with no problem. I have no passwords, however. I tried copying the signons and key3 files again, but no luck.

Help!

hello AnitaL, in newer versions you'll have to copy over logins.json & key3.db in order to import your passwords.
