Why there is no "Import Passwords" option like Chromium browser used to?

I am a regular Firefox user and I really appreciate the security and privacy features you provide. I would like to request a new feature that would make password management even more convenient: the ability to import saved passwords from other browsers or from a password file (for example, a CSV or JSON export) directly into Firefox.

At the moment, when switching from another browser or setting up a new device, I have to either manually enter each password or rely on third‑party tools, which can be time‑consuming and less secure. If Firefox allowed importing passwords from common formats, it would greatly improve the user experience and make it easier to move to Firefox without losing existing login data.

I understand that this must be done with strong security checks, such as requiring the user to confirm each imported login and ensuring that the process is encrypted and safe. If this feature is not planned yet, I kindly ask you to consider it for a future release.

Thank you for your hard work and for listening to user feedback.

They can import passwords from Firefox on mobile?

Is this a question? If yes then it is possible to import password on chromium browser like Brave or Chrome from a csv file.

OK, as far as I know, they have no plans to implement it, so the only option is synchronization with desktop Firefox.

If you wish, you can provide feedback to the developers on the Mozilla Connect website. Your feedback will be collected by a team that reviews it and gathers data on the most interesting issues.
