If you can convert the CSV file to an array in JSON format then you can easily import the passwords via the Browser Console.


var logins;
if (logins = prompt("Logins JSON: [{},{}]",logins)){
try { 
 logins = JSON.parse(logins);
 for (i=0; lg=logins[i]; i++){if (!lg.origin){lg.origin = lg.hostname}}
 ChromeUtils.import("resource://gre/modules/LoginHelper.jsm");
 LoginHelper.maybeImportLogins(logins);
} catch(e){ console.log(e); }
}

} catch(e){ console.log(e); }

it shows:

Make sure you use the Browser Console (Ctrl+Shift+J) and not the Web Console.

  • "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Web Developer

it works! thanks a lot and, my convert script :


f = io.open([[D:\1.csv]],"rb") s = f:read("*a") f:close()

mt = s:split("\r\n") r = {}

for i=2,#mt do local temp = mt[i]:split(",") local tr = {} if #temp == 4 then tr.username = temp[3] tr.password = temp[4] tr.hostname = temp[2]:sub(1,temp[2]:find("/",9)-1) table.insert(r,tr) end end


JSON = require("JSON") rs = JSON:encode(r) print(rs)
