Firefox Community Forum

I just downloaded Firefox and came to the page for importing data to Firefox, where it says " Import browser data" followed by a box containing "Microsoft Edge" in the next line, then

Select the data you’d like to import. Favorites Saved passwords Browsing history Form autofill data

then the prompt to Import

Is this a trick for Edge to import the data rather than Firefox or as it should be for Firefox to Import the data including that in Edge? As you might have guessed - I don't trust Edge or Microsoft one little bit.

Your instructions for migrating passwords from Safari to Firefox are outdated, ex.: there is no "Preferences" option, and no "..." to export

My Safari version on Macbook Pro is: Version 18.5 (20621.2.5.11.8) And my Macbook Pro runs: Sequoia 15.5

I'm looking for help in transferring everything from Firefox to Chrome. If anyone knows how, because Google isn't being the best help at the moment. I have a Chromebook, so it's been tough trying to download Firefox. I'm looking for a way to move what I need onto the laptop without having to start from scratch and do things one by one, which is too many things. If anyone knows how, please don't hesitate to answer.

I recently switched to mozilla from chrome. I tried to import everything from chrome. But it could not import the saved password. Can you help me identify the cause that is preventing login details import from chrome?

Good afternoon, I had to format my PC and when I installed Firefox, when I logged in, I noticed that it didn't import the bookmarks I had associated with the account (as I always do) or the saved passwords. Everything disappeared. Why? Can I recover this data? Thank you.

I followed these directions - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/export-firefox-bookmarks-to-backup-or-transfer but Firebox only exports this data in the bookmarks.html file and attached image! Bookmarks Menu

How can export all of my bookmarks in Firefox?

I want to import web page bookmarks from MS Edge. I tried to do it per the settings help page, but I cannot get my firefox bookmarks to populate with the ones from my Edge browser. This problem is a deal breaker that may send me (under duress) back to MS Edge, and I really don't want that.

Hi, I cannot import my Firefox bookmarks from my macbook pro 2021 to my macbook pro 2024. When I select "import data", only Safari show up, not Firefox, which has been my default browser for many years. Please help me, thanks, cindi

My laptop died and I have the SSD in a caddy connected to a spare PC. In order to import logins it looks like I need to convert the existing logins.json file to a csv. Not so keen to upload this to an online site. Tried excel to no avail. I have also attempted to copy and paste with Firefox closed. The file is there but passwords do not load into Firefox. Any suggestions appreciated.

I am trying to import my bookmarks from my Firefox account on my old laptop into my new laptop. I created an .html export and moved it onto my new laptop. After executing the import, Firefox indicated that 350 bookmarks were imported but I only see the 4 bookmarks that it imported from my Edge browser (which I did not even want).

Installed ff on new C drive and trying to import my profile from replaced, working drive. Got as far as pasting previous folder into new one and see new files were added. Both drives W10. But clicking bookmarks and passwords gets "nothing saved." Cannot decipher folder contents, & without details it's a dead end.

Likewise there is a page here on "importing bookmarks from another browser", with a link. It opens to window where you can look for the file. Same problem, not knowing where bookmarks are. Is there a place to find details on what profile folders and files store. Or am I missing something else? Thanks for assist. -- PS Images could be added if any purpose.

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?

I have one computer. I use Chrome for work stuff. I use Firefox for personal stuff. I installed the new Firefox as I was supposed to, and it closed all my tabs. I usually have the option to restore my previous session, but not this time. So I started going back through my history (grrrrr....) and my history is full of all the sites/tabs I visited with Chrome. I DO NOT want work stuff mixing with my personal stuff. Besides the fact that it is making it harder for me to restore my lost tabs, there is a reason I have two different browsers. I wish Firebox weren't trying to change my organizational scheme. I DO NOT WANT FIREFOX TO IMPORT HISTORY OR BOOKMARKS FROM CHROME. How do I turn this off?
