Sorry, I am too much used to a Reply-To field in other mailing-lists,
that I forgot to set the receiver to this mailing-list.
Could please others confirm, that copying the below noted files (key3.db
and logins.json) does not have the desired effect?
For me, both viewing and using the saved passwords works fine.
Though I think I have to add, that the files on my system have actually
been modified by an installation of IceWeasel, though they originated
from a now abandoned Firefox installation.
This does not really sound like being relevant, however, it is probably
the most notable difference between our setups.
On which OS are you using IceCat?
I use Arch Linux, updated a few days ago.

fills in the password and username, so it is saving them. However I am
unable to see any usernames or passwords when I to to the preferences
and select to view them it is always shown empty and this may be what
was confusing me that no matter what I did I could not view the saved
passwords.
If I can find 38.5.0 I will try it and see if I can view passwords with
that but I am unable to view any with 38.5.2.
By the way your email is coming direct not via the mailing list which
means others cannot see our conversation.

Which version of IceCat do you use?
I am currently still using version 38.5.0, though I will try with 38.5.2
soon.
If I create a entirely new profile, there is a key3.db but not a
logins.json file.
However, if I save a password, it is created, containing an
"encryptedUsername" and an "encryptedPassword".
Does saving any user / password combination actually work for you, i.e.
can you view it later in Preferences->Security->Saved_Passwords?
If so, you could try to grep other files in your profile for the above
keywords.

I tried that but Icecat does not display any passwords after doing this.
In fact when I created a password/username combination and saved it in
Icecat it did not create a logins.json file so I have no idea where
Icecat stores its information.

I want to try to test Icecat but so far I have been unable to get my
passwords from Firefox to Icecat. Everything I have tried has
failed. I
tried copying the FF profile but that does not do it, I tried the
password exporter add-on but that gives errors. Unless I am able to do
this then Icecat will be useless. Does anyone kn ow of a working
method
please.

For me, creating a new profile, then copying over these files worked.
