How Do i Import Logins & Passwords?
Hi guys.. I dont see an option for importing saved passwords and logins in firefox from a file. All I see are 3 options to import to MS Edge, MS Edge Legacy and MS Explorer. Theres no option for importing from a file. Why is this happening? How do i export my stuff?

I don't think there is an easy way to do this, but there is a way. Just go to your profile and save the two files: "key4.db" and "logins.json". Then you can put them into any new profile.

Import login data from a file

http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1705529#c3
You need to set the signon.management.page.fileImport.enabled pref to true. Remember to refresh the about:logins page if it is currently open.

You're most welcome. As you can see above there is an easier way that I did not know, but it no doubt does the same thing we are doing manually.zlaer wrote:You da man.. Works!

You only need to toggle a pref on the about:config to enable this menu item in Lockwise as stated in the note at the bottom of the article.
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/im ... -data-file
signon.management.page.fileImport.enabled = true
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/im ... -data-file
signon.management.page.fileImport.enabled = true
