Firefox won't import password file?
Hello!
I don't know why but when I click on "Import from a file" and select the login excel file, it happens nothing, I exported this file from Firefox a few minutes ago and didn't change anything on this file?

CSV import is currently broken in Firefox and I'm not sure when this will be fixed. You would have to install an older version like Firefox 102 ESR to import the CSV logins file and copy the generated logins.json and key4.db from the 102 ESR profile to the current profile folder.
Firefox 102.2.0 ESR (use the version selector for 102 ESR; this Tuesday 102.3.0 will be released):

You can use the button on the "Help -> More Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page to go to the current Firefox profile folder or use the about:profiles page (Root directory).
- Help -> More Troubleshooting Information -> Profile Folder/Directory:
Windows: Open Folder; Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-where-firefox-stores-user-data
You could try the fix mentioned in this Reddit thread (and in the bug report). Remove the blank space in the link.
