How to recover Firefox passwords after new install?

I upgraded Firefox from v3.0.18 to v3.6.2.  I did a clean install after backing up my *.default directory.


How can i transfer/import the saved logins and passwords from my Firefox backup?  I tried replacing the signons.sqlite table but it did not work.

FYI, I have a signons3.txt file which contains the data.  See sample in code section. The password strings have been modified so they are no good.  Is this of any benefit?
