Backing Up Passwords in Firefox

When needing to completely re-install Firefox after problems with plugins, file corruption or just a new OS install; backing up cookies and bookmarks is fairly straight-forward but I was having to manually copy my passwords and re-enter after re-installation. I decided to investigate the problem and discovered the passwords are stored between two files:




















Browse to the Firefox profile folder : Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ and copy the key3.db and signons.sqlite files.
