Transferring Firefox saved logins from desktop to new laptop
Hi, folks! I have a Windows 10 desktop and just bought a Windows 10 laptop and have Firefox for Windows 85.0.2 (64-bit) on both. I am trying to transfer my Firefox saved logins from the desktop to the laptop. My sync settings on both machines has logins and passwords turned on but they don't sync. I'm probably misunderstanding something. I managed to export the desktop Firefox logins to a CSV file but have not found a way to import them to the laptop Firefox. I have looked and looked for the "import from file" option that is supposed to be in Lockwise but so far no luck. Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi Mark, try saving one login and exporting it on your laptop. Hopefully then Import will appear on the menu. (I think if you never exported, then import does not appear for some reason.)
I have a page where you can save a throwaway login in a few seconds. Don't use any real password, just 123 will work for this purpose: https://jeffersonscher.com/res/logintest.html
Or probably someone else knows a setting that bypasses this step.
