How can I save or export the file containing stored usernames and passwords?
I'm about to update my desktop computer's operating system, which will mean my hard drive will be wiped. I want to save any file Firefox might have that contains usernames and passwords so I don't have to rebuild that file once Firefox is reinstalled. I've found such files for extensions and bookmarks but not for passwords.

- Firefox 3.5 and later versions, including current beta and nightly builds, use signons.sqlite.

- Firefox 3.5 and later versions use the file signons.sqlite to store the encrypted names and passwords. passwords.
- You can rename signons.sqlite to signons.sqlite.sav to make Firefox 3.5+ versions use the file signons#.txt from a previous Firefox 3 or 2 version.

Unfortunately, the suggested article is 3 version out of date, referring to v3.5 at the latest. I'm running v6.0.2 which does not seem to use any of the files referred to. At least, multiple searches of my hard drive did not find any of them.
See the following article from this point to the end.
Backing up and Restoring Passwords
Check and tell if its working.
Nope! That's the same article, and the same no-longer-existing files as the last suggestion. :-(
Did you try the extensions mentioned in the end of the article ??
See this addon - Password Exporter 1.2.1
Also see this list for more Password add-ons:
