How do I import my old passwords
I got a suggestion to refresh because the browser was going slow, and once done ALL of my passwords, browsing history, etc were lost. It will mean weeks of time to get these back. I am ready to quit Firefox forever if this is what could happen. No warning, nothing.
What can I do to get this back? I am not a geek but a person, so please make any directions clear.
thanks

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

If you have an "Old Firefox Data" folder on the desktop then you can recover some personal data from a recent profile in that folder.
You can copy files like these to the current Firefox profile folder to recover specific data.
- bookmarks and history: places.sqlite
- bookmark backups: JSON backups in the bookmarkbackups folder
- SQLite files like cookies.sqlite (cookies) and formhistory.sqlite (saved form data)
- logins.json and key3.db (decryption key) for Passwords saved in the Password Manager
- cert8.db for stored intermediate certificates (Certificate Manager)
- persdict.dat for words you added to the spelling checker dictionary
- permissions.sqlite and possibly content-prefs.sqlite for Permissions and Site Preferences
- sessionstore.js for open tabs and pinned tabs and tab groups
You can use this button to go to the current Firefox profile folder:
- Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
