Hello,

Recently I realized that the vast majority of my passwords were no longer present in the Firefox password manager. When looking at my profile's logins.json file, they are all present, yet only the last two are visible in the password manager itself. I've tried refreshing Firefox, restarting my PC, and creating a new profile and copying over both the logins.json and key4 files to it, yet the issue remains. Is there a way to decrypt the logins.json file using both it and the key4 file so that I could import into Firefox as a CSV? Thanks in advance.

Did you check the content of this logins.json file in a Firefox tab or text editor to see if there are still logins in the file that have a hostname and encrypted username and password and not merely a deleted:true key/value pair ?

If the logins.json file is valid JSON and you have a matching key4.db then placing both files in a profile would make them appear in about:logins. You can check the Browser Console for login errors.
