I am considering switching from chrome to firefox. While trying to import my passwords i wont get them all.

Using the import feature inside Firefox I will get about 70% of my usernames and passwords from chrome.

Why it wont import the rest makes absolutely no sense at all.

Firefox gives no option to import from a CSV or anything else but that one button.

I get the impression the whole feature is not tested properly, If Firefox wants people to switch browser this just has to work flawlessly.

Hi, suggest you try a Extension that supports CSV : https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/search/?platform=windows&q=pasword+manager The quality of encryption would be much, much higher.

Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.
