Where is my password file?

Firefox works just fine with my new Vista install, but I need to
manually edit my password file. Where did Vista put it? I've searched
for *.s files and signons.txt and signons2.txt, but no luck. I know that
Firefox is storing this information somewhere because most of my
passwords are fine (I just need to do some tweaking).

Can anyone tell me where Vista is hiding my Firefox password file?
Thanks for any help.

Hi Arch,

You might look here to see if they are being kept here.

It is located in:
c:\users\yourname\appdata\roaming\mozilla\firefox\ profiles\xxxxxx.default
You might want to read the following before doing any tweaking:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Signons.txt

This is a little different, Shawn, but I think I have what I need.
Thanks for taking the time.
