Hello,

I just switched to Mozilla Firefox from Chrome, I went through the import process and while Password, Bookmarks have been imported the History however will not import at all. It says it will only import 180 days of history but it appears with a yellow triangle exclamation mark and does not even import a single day.

I successfully imported to Edge for example but again if I try to import the history from Edge to Firefox it fails.

I also tried other freshly installed Firefox based browsers and they all fail to import history from chromium browsers.

Please fix this issue.

I already did the restart, unnistal, reinstall process still not working.

I also went through threads on the internet stating to modify flags and other settings it simply fails when any Firefox Browser tried to import Chromium history.

Any guidance will be welcome.

Best regards,

I'm back to using Firefox for Windows. What is great about Firefox it's so customizable what is bad about Firefox is it's so customizable. I searched the forums for customizations that I wanna do and more often than not they are settings in the about:config section. Is there any way to back them up so that way if mess up something or if I can't remember the changes That I made to the about:config file Especially if I'm either migrating to another computer or reinstalling Firefox.

I am evaluating a password manager application and exported my FF passwords and imported them into the app. For testing I removed all of the passwords from FF. I want to password protect the csv file rather than delete it in case I need to import the passwords back into FF. When I go to File/Info, the "Protect Workbook" option is greyed out. When I go to the "Review" tab, the option to "Protect Workbook" is available, not the "Unprotect" option, so the workbook is not protected. If I click on the "Share" folder on the right side of the ribbon, there is no "More" option. In Windows Explorer the file is on my desktop, not OneDrive - Personal. I right clicked on the file, selected "Give access to" and took the option to remove access. The File/Info option is still greyed out. How can I password protect this file or how can I export it in a format that can be imported later?

All of my notes are gone and if similar URLs are doubled.
