Hello, I’m trying copy my passwords etc over from Firefox. Every time I follow the step and the import wizard comes up all it has listed is bookmarks. I’ve looked everywhere and I can’t for the life of me find a way to allow it to access the other stuff I want to sync from safari.

Hi Calum, I'm a Windows person, so I can't try it myself.

Did you already find this article about disk permissions: Importing Safari data into Firefox ? Not sure whether that will make any difference.

Hi,

So i hadnt found that article but even after giving it access the import wizard window still only displays bookmarks as an option. Its a bit bizarre, i dont know if i have maybe selected some preferences on install for what Firefox can access. But if i have i cant for the life of me find them now.
