Passwords From Firefox on Linux
I have all my data in directory, have access to logins.json and the rest of the files from previous linux installation. I'm still on linux. Basic question, how to get to firefox passwords?
I can't use virtual machine with windows - computer is too old.

Firefox runs the same way across platforms/OSes and the user profiles are the same but in a different folder or, better, the same folder name in a different location.
