If you haven’t made the jump yet, there are a few files you may want to make sure you back up before going from Firefox 2 to Firefox 3. The first would be your password files. These files are located in your profile folder.

- signons2.txt
- key3.db
Copy and past them into the place you want to back them up to, and you are done. To restore them, make sure you don’t have Firefox running and then go into your current profile folder and copy and move them in. They should replace the ones in there currently.
