"Export passwords" option has been added in version 79, and you have 76.

Thank you very much. I really appreciate your taking the time and providing the instructions.

Warm regards, Amin

Hi, is there any solution to export passwords with another version than 79 ? My computer is too old, I don't think I can upgrade to 79, I'm still running 78... Thanks for your help !

Hi clemi.pr

The LoginExport.jsm module is present in Firefox 78, but hasn't been enabled and you need code in userContent.css to get the export menu entry in the cogwheel menu in Lockwise.

Add code to the userContent.css file.


@-moz-document url-prefix("about:logins"){
button.menuitem-import, button.menuitem-export { display: block !important; }
}

It is not that difficult to create userContent.css if you have never used it.

The first step is to open the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" page and find the button to access the profile folder.

You can find this button under the "Application Basics" section as "Profile Folder -> Open Folder". If you click this button then you open the profile folder in the Windows File Explorer. You need to create a folder with the name chrome in this folder (name is all lowercase). In the chrome folder you need to create a plain text file with the name userContent.css (name is case sensitive). In this userContent.css text file you paste the text posted above.

In Windows saving the file is usually the only time things get more complicated because Windows can silently add a .txt file extension and you end up with a file named userContent.css.txt. To avoid this you need to make sure to select "All files" in the dialog to save the file in the text editor using "Save File as".

You need to close (Quit/Exit) and restart Firefox when you create or modify the userContent.css file.

In Firefox 69 and later you need to set this pref to true on the about:config page to enable userChrome.css and userContent.css in the chrome folder.
