How to import passwords and logins data to firefox?

Question

I have a CSV file with all of my passwords from Chrome and want to transfer them all to Firefox. But recently Firefox removed the feature to import login data. This feature is currently disabled by default, due to performance issues.

Is there a way to write a script that would iterate through saved login data and push it to Firefox instead of doing it manually one by one?

Answer 1

There seems to be a bug in the current version of Firefox (104) preventing the import of passwords. A second step is (temporarily) necessary. I found a workaround in this thread.

If you encounter this bug, you will need to set

security.allow_eval_in_parent_process

to true, in addition to setting

signon.management.page.fileImport.enabled

to true.

Once you import your login data, you should reset the former to false, as it's a security feature.

Answer 2

Go to about:config and search for: signon.management.page.fileImport.enabled

set it to true, then navigate to about:logins (if already open refresh the page) and hit the 3 dots, Import from File is now an option, import your csv and be happy.
