I recently moved from a laptop to a computer that I built on my own, I was too lazy to backup anything so I just detached the laptop HD and installed it on my new computer as a secondary HD, then I clean-installed Firefox on my primary SSD (where the OS is installed), trying to recover my old passwords, I ran through multiple articles that say passwords are stored on key3.db & signons.sqlite files, I was able to locate those 2 files and secure them but I don't know what to do next. Please halp!, I need those passwords ASAP !!!

hi ahamdlm, those articles are probably outdated - current versions of firefox are storing the passwords in the key3.db & logins.json files in the profile folder.
