Ok, I found signons.txt, and copied it to the new .mozilla directory,

in about:config or wherever to get it to realize there is new data in
there?
How about saving some new passwords at some site, checking for where
it's now saving that data, and substituting your old file for the recent
one.
It's perfectly possible the format has changed. This _must_ happen when
functionality is extended.
Looks like the format has changed, but the hash used may be combined
with that funky xxxxxxxx.default directory everything lands in, which is
combined with profiles.ini... what a mess! I suppose there are good
reasons to be doing things this way... maybe if I take the old
profiles.ini, and the old .default directory name, and plunk them into
.mozilla/firefox/, I can get everything back. Apparently, when I fired
up firefox 1.5.0.1, _something_ got changed in the profile directory
which causes a panic in firefox 1.0.7
