I had firefox, I exported my logins detail into a .csv file, then I remove all the logins. I download firefox nightly and using the same email id I log in it doesn't show saved logins. I try to import now from the previous.csv file nothing happens it doesn't import. I save the file as .csv again by renaming it and trying to import it says no permission to open data. Please help.

Keep it simple and use Sync to get all your data on different versions of Firefox and devices. see screenshot https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-set-sync-my-computer https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/sync-custom-preferences https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-choose-what-information-sync-firefox

Login import is currently broken in Firefox.

Firefox 102 ESR isn't affected, so you can install that version get get a valid matching logins.json and key4.db and copy that to your current profile folder.
