How can I recover my saved passwords?
I have mostly everything reinstalled on my new computer but can't seem to
find a way to get my saved passwords for sites such as eBay over to
firefox's saved "Password". I did copy my profile exactly from
"C:\Documents and Settings\[User Name]\Application
Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\".. from there I recovered my Bookmarks, I
tried copying and pasting all the info from the old notebook text file
"signons" where I saw all the sites and encrypted password info, (yea I know
I'm an idiot going this route) so there must be something else I must change
or copy and paste to make them all reappear in my "Passwords" section in
Firefox..

IIRC, you need to copy key3.db over as well. . . .

you have to copy 'key3.db' file along with 'signons.txt' file from old
profile to new profile folder

You may also need anything in the profile that has ".s" extension.

The .s file will only exist if the profile has been migrated from
Mozilla, SeaMonkey, or Netscape6/7.

Re: How can I recover my saved passwords?
It is very easy to see the saved passwords in Mozilla Firefox and no need to use any hacking tricks for it. When a newbie Internet user try to log on to any of his account (Orkut,yahoo mail, gmail etc) he may forget to uncheck the option remember my password. One more chance is there, when the remember password option is enabled on the Firefox settings and after log on the user will see a prompt.
