Importing a CSV login file via the about:logins page is broken in current Firefox releases. You can temporarily set security.allow_eval_in_parent_process = true on the about:config page to bypass this security measure and make importing work. Make sure to reset the pref to false after you are done (leave about:config tab open). The CSV import bug is fixed in Firefox 108, in 104-107 you need a workaround and flip the pref temporarily to true.
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. On the warning page, you can click "Accept the Risk and Continue" to open about:config.
You can check the Browser Console for login error in case this still fails.
In case of issues with importing the CSV file, check the header line and make sure you have at least the "url" and "username" and "password" columns as those are mandatory.
