Hello,

I'm a Firefox-User, but sometimes I use K-Meleon too, because it's much faster.
I've got a lot of passwords in my firefox, (how) it's possible to import them into K-Meleon?

Regards,

Should be possible (or at least, it was, when I tried it ages ago). Just look for *.s and a *.w files in the profile directories and replace them in the other profile.

So far i only tried password conversions/exchange to/from Seamonkey and TBird. The last word has the experiment: You would copy paste content of FFox signons.txt to 64021544.s and have a look via password manager. The number is for a radom nr - it is my file's number.

K-Meleon and other Mozilla have 64021544.s. It is a base 64 coded file - just copy the content from the similar named file or signons.txt over into k-meleon XXXXXXXX.s file or use the whole file and edit the number and change it also in prefs.js so that it matches. Files are in used Profile in Firefox btw K-Meleon.

Exchange is supposed to work if the Firefox file is not encrypted with a master password, http://users.adelphia.net/~irwingreenwald/About%20Profiles.html

According to that source You only need key3.db and signons.txt from Firefox.

Else it looks like too much effort; unless You really have a lot of passwords -
it is IMHO easier to type them again.

See: http://nagmatrix.50webs.com/article_firepassword.html for extraction.

For finding individual passwords You can try.
http://ed.mullen.home.comcast.net/Mozilla/moz_pw.html decoders and encoders.
There is also a Netscape password tool by Nir Sofer http://nirsoft.mirrorz.com.

p. s. The xxxxxxxx.w file stands for wallet; k-meleon does not use that actively.
