In the event that the passwords information is lost, you should record all information in a separate text file somewhere else on your hard drive, or written down. You can easily copy and paste if you need to do so. If you are concerned about someone else looking at that file, you can compress it using a password.

Many thanks for the really complete answer. I'm on linux so I'll try ff-password-exporter!

Ok it works like a charm!! I'm able to export my passwords without problems. Last question before close the topic: I'm installing (for example) from scratch a new instance of Firefox, I get preferences and extensions from cloud. To have a complete profile the last step is to import the password from the json/csv file obtained with ff-password-exporter. How can I do this?

I called for more help. I don't know that program. Have you checked with its support?

Ok maybe the solution is very simple:

- in order to backup (and see) the stored passwords I can use ff-password-exporter

- in order to migrate the profile and transfer the passwords, I can copy these two files: logins.json and key3.db

That's all ;)
