Once you reset the password of the Firefox Account then an old recovery key is no longer working.ĭid you copy the Library folder in your home directory to the new device ? Can you please advise me as to how to proceed? Many thanks!! I found a recovery key that I must have gotten years ago in a folder on my old computer but I am not sure if it would be current. I am logged into my user account in Firefox but no matter what I try to do it is requiring that I re-enter my password! I read that if I do a password reset without entering a recovery key I will lose my bookmarks (I have several hundred), so I don't want that to happen. I was going to use the Sync feature on Firefox but apparently I have forgotten my password.

I opened Firefox and expected to see my bookmarks but none are there. I thought the bookmarks are in the profile folder within the user Library so I copied those onto an external hard drive and then copied that folder inside of the Firefox folder in the User folder on the new computer.

I installed Firefox on it but want to transfer my bookmarks to the new computer from my old Macbook Air. I just got a new Macbook Air which has Catalina OS.
