Passwords Don't Auto-Fill; Cannot Import Passwords

MacOS Ventura 13.7.8.

I am trying to switch from DuckDuckGo to Firefox browsers.

Firefox is not remembering and auto-filling passwords.

I appear to have all the proper checkboxes checked in Settings.

I exported 1260 passwords from DuckDuckGo. Upon importing the resulting .CSV file (which contains hundreds of passwords), Firefox reports ZERO imports!

I can edit the .CSV file as necessary, but Settings help does not document the required schema.

So how can I import my passwords from DuckDuckGo, which appears to be a Firefox fork?

Based on my settings, is there some reason Firefox is not remembering passwords I've entered? I've been using it for a couple weeks, and have manually entered MANY passwords, but it shows only one, from way before I started using it! If I try to delete passwords, it asks if I want to delete "167 passwords", but when I ask to see them, it shows only that old one.

I did use Firefox years ago; is there some preference file I should delete to make password-filling work again?

I'm fairly computer savvy, but this is becoming frustrating!

Thanks!
