Password import

Post by brinke »

Any idea why when I import bookmarks/history/passwords into FF from Safari- that some sites still want me to sign in even tho I was signed in with a password on Safari? Does that kind of thing not translate?

Automatic log-ins are cookie dependant, and nothing to with the username/password having been saved. You will have to log-in to each of the sites in question to create that cookie.

You could also use a good password manager, that will fill logins for you
