Where are my passwords stored on the hard drive in Firefox 16?

I recently upgraded to Windows 8 and went from Windows 7, and I just forgot to backup (yeah, I know, it's stupid) my profile with the passwords. The windows.old folder is there, with my old profile and all, but I can't seem to find the passwords. In every article I have read about this it says the same "find the key3.db and signons.sqlite in the profile folder". But there is NONE in my Firefox profile folder.
To see if it had just disappeard from my windows.old folder, I installed Firefox 16 and saved a password. But it's the same there, the files does not exist, at all.
Does it work differently in Firefox 16? Or is Windows 8 just pure evil?

hello Nirvasher, it sounds like you may be looking at a wrong folder - this shouldn't have changed with firefox 16. the following article explains how to get into the profile folder: [[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data]]

  • Where are my pictures stored on the hard drive when I import them into Aperture?

    I imported pictures into Aperature under the project name Christmas 2012. When I went into Finder to see where the pictures were actually placed on my hard disk, the folder didn't show up anywhere. These are new photos that I added to my hard drive.
    I then thought I would do a file search on some of the photos. One picture's file name was IMG_2260. When I searched All My Files for this file, it produced two different photos with the exact same file name IMG_2260!
    Now I'm really confused! Any help would be appreciated.

    . It just seems strange to me to not be able to find the actual photos with Finder.
    The actual photos do not exist as image files, until you export them. The only images that do exist are the originals that you import into Aperture. When you adjust images, enhance them, crop them, Aperture will only store the command, but not actually create the edited version.
    That has three advantages:
    Aperture saves space, because only the original image is stored.
    Aperture can easily undo any operation and you have a lossless workflow.
    Many adjustments can be accumulated into one operation and done very precisely, because the image need not to be rendered to 8Bit or 16 Bit versions in between. Only the final version needs to be encoded as image file.
    So, since the edited images do only exist in a state of limbo, you do not see them in the library as images.

    When you search for the originals with Spotlight or file search from the Finder, you may find the originals and previews of edited versions, that Aperture creates to share with the Media Browser. In addition to exporting the images, you can access them using the Media Browser from all applications that are compatible with iLife: Mail, Pages, Keynote, iWeb, ...

  • Where are passwords stored on my hard drive, can I access them, alter them

    Where are passwords stored on my hard drive/ folder, can I access them and alter them. Can I add passwords to that file/ folder.

    Using the Saved Password Editor may be overkill for most users. The quickest way to manipulate saved passwords in Firefox is on the menu bar go to:
    Tools -> Options -> Security -> Saved Passwords -> Show Passwords

  • I downloaded Yosemite OS X and when I try to select my HD (the disk) where I want to install it, the hard drive doesn't have enough space. What can I do and still have all my files? I haven't backed up...

    I downloaded Yosemite OS X and when I try to select my HD (the disk) where I want to install it, the hard drive doesn't have enough space. I have a MacBook Pro bought in 2008. What can I do and still have all my files? I haven't backed up...

    Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
      1. See Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks' Storage Display.
      2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
      3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
      4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
      5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
      6. See The Storage Display.
    You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
    You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
    Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.
    I recommend that you also make a backup before proceeding. Just quit the installer.

  • Using ereader to read books stored in the hard drive on a Lifedrive

    I have a Lifedrive that I use for ebook reading.  I have been merrily adding books to it and reading away until today.  I bought a batch of ebooks in the ereader format from Fictionwise and used palmOne Quick Install to add them to my Lifedrive like I normally do.  When I synced I found out some books didn't add due to insufficient memory.  OK, the Lifedrive shows 3.6 G free, so I'm assuming all the books have been storing in the program memory and now that is full.  So my question is---how do I get the ebooks into the hard drive partition and how do I get the Ereader app to find them so I can read my books?? Can I also shift ebooks already on the Lifedrive in program memory to the harddrive partion? How?  Do I need to move the ereader apptothe harddrive,if so how do I do that? I'm assuming I will also have to this with any mobipocket books I buy in the future also.
    PS-  I  know I could just delete books to free up space, but I am a speed reader and I often go back and reread old books so I'd like to keep them handy.  Besides what is the use of having 3+G on my Lifedrive if I can't use it for ebooks, the main reason I have this device.
    Thanks!!

    Hello ffyrebird, Welcome to the Palm Support Community.
    Have you tried a Soft Reset yet?  Many times the "out of memory" error does not refer to Storage Memory, but to physical RAM (aka DbCache).  
    A Soft Reset will clear out the working RAM area and may fix your problem.

  • Are you suppose to hear the hard drive when you boot up your macbook

    everytime i turn on my laptop..i could hear my hard drive go on? is that normal?

    It depends on the noise you are hearing, some of the 7200 RPM drives do make a slight noise, but if it is a clicking noise, then you need to get it serviced

  • Are you supposed to hear the hard drive?

    Just wondering if i'm supposed to hear my Hard drive in my 5G iPod? I just hear it a little, a sort of soft whir and an occasional soft click or the drive writing or reading. Maybe i'm just over protective. Any thoughts?
    Dell Dimension 4400   Windows XP Pro  

    Thanks A Lot!
    I also searched "Noise" throughout the forums (which i should have done from the start!) and found a lot of the same kind of question. Thanks for clearing that up!

  • Where are FCPX fonts stored on the mac?

    Final Cut X seems to store its fonts somewhere other than the normal system library fonts folder. Or it finds other fonts on the computer that are in other places than that folder.
    I am trying to find where a font is located on my computer that seems to only be in FCPX. It doesn't show up in the fonts folder, doesn't show up when I search with spotlight, and doesn't show up in any other programs, even Word or Pages. Any ideas for where I should look?
    The font is called Proxima Nova.
    I found this through a Google search:
    "These fonts are stored in Final Cut Pro or Motion in the following subfolder: Contents / Frameworks / TextFramework.framework / Versions / A / Resources / Fonts. To get inside Final Cut Pro or Motion, right- or control-click the application and choose Show Package Contents from the context menu."
    But those folders on my computer are empty. Where my font at?
    FCPX 10.1.4
    OSX 10.10.3

    Do you like that font?

  • Where are LETOOLS for USB? The "ADB" Driver does not work with Windows XP

    I just give up with Lenovo's arcane maze of endlessly-looping driver searches.  I managed somehow to get something called an "ADB Driver" which was supposed to allow Windows XP to recognize my tablet as a K1 Ideapad.  I downloaded the 8+mb file which installed fk knows where and plugged in my K1 tablet.  Windows recognized that it had a USB device, and when prompted to hunt for the driver (which of course I couldn't find, since Lenovo sent it into the ether) I had to back out and then hunt through my entire Windows directory for an inf file containing the word "Android". 
    For the unsuspecting, it hides in something called -- get ready for it -- OEM16. 
    I guess the L, N and V keys were missing on the keyboard of the moron who labeled this pos driver.  Oh good programming Lenovo NOT but since a chimpanzee programmed Lenovo's driver site I suppose it's of a piece that a baboon packaged this worthless driver.  This isn't an eCommerce site it's a zoo.
    I guess it was too difficult for Lenovo to include a CD with their Windows USB driver family on it.  I mean . . . that would have cost them $.0000002.  Jesus wept.
    All I want to do is have XP know that the "USB Human Interaction" device I have plugged in is my K1 Lenovo tablet.  Don't send me to Google for a USB/Windows Android driver, they direct everyone to the site of the manufacturer of the tablet.  And don't insult my intelligence by even countenancing the possibility that Google's arch rival would stoop to offer any means for their OS to talk to (cough hack) Android.
    I get that it has to be a Lenovo driver and/or program.  So where the f is it? because this is massively pissing me off.  And one other thing:  No link to Lenovo.  I don't appreciate being manipulated by Lenovo's flash crap only to land on a driver download site that says "We can't find it."
    No.  Direct me please to any non-lenovo download portal that has the most recent version of LETOOLS and hope I don't have to come back here with yet more frustration.  This is the most needlessly idiotic driver service I have ever had the misfortune of being tethered to and I hope never to have to engage with it ever again.  May I please know where LETOOLS can be downloaded?  Thank you.

    Hi know-vo,
    I'm sorry that you couldn't find LETools. I've cheked with internal team and was told that actually we do have the software, but it's called "Synchronization Software". Did you try that?
    If you browse to ADB Driver page by clicking "Learn More" in support site, there is a note indicating that this ADB driver works with Synchronization Software.
    Sorry for all the inconvenience caused and. I hope this info above helps.

    I have 4 users on the same Imac. Updated to Mountain OS x 10.8.5. i have a user itunes that is being saved to the harddrive and i would like it to be stored to it's respective users music folders. How do i set that users itune to be stored inside of that users music folder.  I don't actually know if one of the users have to save their music on the harddrive.

  • I have a sony HDR-SR5 camcorder and need to empty the iternal hard-drive. I have downloaded onto Picture Motion Browser and woud like to know if this will have stored all of the data on the hard-drive so can go back and edit later.

    I have a Sony HDR-SR5 camcorder with a 40GB internal hard-drive. I need to clear the hard-drive as it's almost full. I have managed to download the footage onto Picture Motion Browser, but am wondering whether PMB will have stored all the info from the camcorder hard-drive so that I can edit later.
    Also, I would like to back-up on another hard-drive, but when I have tried this I can't view the footage stored on the hard-drive so am not sure whether I have backed up sufficiently and in what format? If anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd be very grateful...

    >I have managed to download the footage onto Picture Motion Browser
    Isn't Picture Motion Browser available for Windows only?  If so, why are you posting in an Final Cut Express forum?  My apologies if I'm incorrect.

  • I accidently deleated file from the Elements organizor and from the hard drive. Can I get it back?

    I accidently deleated a file from the Elements organizor and from the hard drive. Can I get it back? How to do it?

    There's a good chance that you can if you haven't done too much work after deleting it.  Typically files are not actually wiped from the hard drive, rather the space they take is marked as free to use by another file if needed.  So if it hasn't been used by another file it can be recovered.
    Try this program...  it will help if you know where the images were stored.

  • Storing CDs on hard drive?

    Recently got an ipod 30gb and started to transfer CDs into itunes. Just wondering whether you have to keep the CDs stored on the hard drive of my PC after i have transferred them to the ipod? If not im going to fill up the hard drive very quickly!

    You Mikey this question is asked at least every week.
    You can do what you ask but its not the desired configuration. You will have to switch the pod to manual sync. Then it won't remove songs from the pod. However I do believe you will need to leave the links in itunes but can delete the files.
    If you don't backup your music before you do this then you are highly at risk of losing all your music. The pod is too easily stolen, damaged, corrupted or lost to be the only location where your music is stored.
    With the pod connected. If you go to Edit > Preferences and click on the ipod tab. You should see the settings there.

  • HT1366 how to replace the hard drive?

    Hello Forum!
    This is my first posting on this site, so pardon me if I am not aware of protocol or procedure.  My daughter gave me a MacBook notebook that apparently was water damaged and ceased to operate thinking I might be able to get it operating again (she has since replaced it with a more current Mac).  I removed the back case (8 screws) and was surprised to see a sparkling clean interior with no apparent damage of any kind.  I have worked on many water damaged PCs before, and was expecting the usual evidence of water damage like rusted components and connections.  But this unit was as clean and corrosion free as a whistle!
    However, what did surprise me was a missing hard drive, or I should say that I was not able to find a hard drive.  Rather, there was a square shaped hole and a multi-pinned connector where a hard drive would logically be found.  This hole or mount location is right beside the battery at the right side bottom of the interior of the notebook.  The DDR memory modules are located immediately above the hole.  I have been looking for a schematic layout of the MacBook but haven't found it yet.
    I understand the MacBook could be ordered with three different capacity hard drives, and therefore I should be able to find one for sale at a Mac dealer or repair facility.
    I did not receive any of the other equipment that was originally supplied with the unit such as the power cord and/or charger.  I would also need to install the appropriate operating system.
    I would appreciate any input or assistance getting this unit back to operational condition.  I am on a disability pension, and bucks are tight, so any cost saving suggestions would also be helpful.
    Thanks in advance!
