Unable to import passwords from chrome
I'm trying to import my passwords from chrome and cannot get it to work. I've set signon.management.page.fileImport.enabled to true and have tried both directly importing from chrome and creating a csv file and copying from that, but chrome won't copy passwords over directly and when using the csv file almost all the passwords are listed as missing fields and won't copy over. I'm unsure if there's something i'm missing in teh copy process or if i'm just stuck manually copying over passwords

In case of issues with importing the CSV file, check the header line and make sure you have at least the "url" and "username" and "password" columns as those are mandatory.
The .csv file you want to import should follow a specific structure and "url","username","password" are mandatory.
All fields Firefox recognizes: "url","username","password","httpRealm","formActionOrigin","guid","timeCreated","timeLastUsed","timePasswordChanged"
the default structure that chrome gave was name, url, username, password, and note. I tried deleting every column other than url, username, and password but got the same issue
Are there login errors reported in the Browser Console?
You can temporarily set signon.debug => true on the about:config page.
You can clear the messages in the console beforehand and only enable Errors and Warnings, hidden items may have an item count appended. Do not forget to reset signon.debug to false after you are done testing.
yeah, got this error repeating
NS_ERROR_ABORT: User canceled primary password entry

Are you using the Primary Password ?
You can login beforehand by opening the about:logins page.
i don't have it on. should i turn it on then try to import?
