How To Transfer Firefox 2 Passwords To Firefox 3

Firefox 3 was released 2 days ago, and since then there have been tips and tricks popping up all over the blogosphere to enhance your Firefox 3 experience. While browsing thorugh my feed reader for my daily dose of Internet bytes, I came across a very useful article on The Pick C on how you can transfer your old Firefox 2 passwords to your new Firefox 3 and thought to share it with you all in case you also experienced similar problem.

How To Transfer Firefox 2 Passwords To Firefox 3

1. Open your Firefox Profile folder by navigating to:

C:\Documents and Settings\<user account>\Application Data\Mozilla\ Firefox\Profiles\<profile folder>

2. Look for signons2 and open it in any text editor.

3. Copy all the data from the file and close it.

3. Now look for signons3, open it in a text editor and replace its data with the copied one.

4. Save the file and close it.

5. Restart Firefox and all your passwords will be updated now.

I hope you enjoyed this trick and found it useful. Keith, from Techie Buzz, has shared an ultimate list of Firefox tips and tricks. Don’t forget to try them!
