There is no option to import passwords via csv in the import data that your "find help" suggests. Only importing from another browser. I thought you "Upgraded" this in version 116. What is going on with Mozilla? I see people have been complaining since 2021. As usual I will have to "improvise" due to lack of support. by improvise I mean downloading another "competent" web browser capable of importing from csv just so i can use it to import to firefox. YOU can figure that out but not from the same frickin file as every other browser. Pathetic! /

To enable importing of passwords, enter about:config in the address bar and change the following preference to true. signon.management.page.fileImport.enabled You may have to restart the browser. The option to import will then appear when you click the 3 dots top right of the passwords page.

An alternative is to copy two files from the older profile to the newer profile.
