How to recover Mozilla passwords backup. ..

Close Firefox, Then in your backed up profile folders, copy the signons.txt file to the location of your current profile folder. You should get a warning : Do you want to overwrite this file, click Yes, then start Firefox and see if your passwords are restored.

You can check by : Tools -> Options -> Security -> click "Show Passwords" and then click "Show Passwords" again and confirm the action.


Otherwise copy the whole contents of the previous folder and replace the current profile folder contents with it.
