I refreshed Mozilla which clearly stated that all passwords and bookmarks would be kept however they are gone. I have copied logins (which is an Adobe Acrobat file, not a json) from my old Firefox Data to my Firefox Profile folder. I have also copied the key4.db - neither returned my passwords or bookmarks. Please help.

Look on your desktop. Do you see a folder called; Old Firefox?

key3.db [v58+] key4.db and logins.json : These are the password files. Copy Both !
