About Take me to saved passwords
Mozilla Firefox has been my primary web browser for over a decade now. It might not be the fastest browser out there for the Windows operating system but does the job for me.Before Firefox 57 (Firefox Quantum), we could easily import and export passwords saved in the Firefox browser by installing an add-on. This helps when you want to backup passwords saved in Firefox or when you want to reinstall Windows OS.As you likely know, add-ons that helped you import and export passwords saved in Firefox did not work in Firefox 57 and later versions. Although you could view the passwords saved in Firefox by navigating to Preferences > Privacy & Security > Saved Logins section, there was no option to export or import (import from a file) passwords.Most of the Firefox users are using third-party password saving solutions like LastPass and KeePass and won’t need an option to export passwords. Since these password managers are cloud-based (save passwords in the cloud), not all users want to use them for security reasons. Like many of you, I prefer using Firefox’s built-in password manager (with a master password, of course).Like me, if you also use Firefox’s built-in password manager and looking for a way to backup Firefox passwords, you have very limited options.Luckily, with Firefox 79, Mozilla has introduced an option to export saved passwords to a CSV file. However, there is no option yet to import passwords from a CSV file.In this guide, we will discuss the four easy ways out there to backup Firefox passwords in Windows OS.Method 1 of 5Export Firefox passwords to CSV fileVersion 79 (available in Nightly builds) and later versions of Firefox offer an in-built option to export saved passwords to CSV file. Here is how to do that.Step 1: Type about:logins in the Firefox address bar and press the Enter key. This will open the page where you can view your saved credentials.Step 2: Here, to export all saved passwords, click on the three vertical dots icon (refer to the picture below) and then click the Export Logins option.Step 3: For security reasons, Firefox asks you to enter your Windows account password, fingerprint scan, or PIN before exporting the password. When asked, please do so to continue.Step 4: Finally, browse to the location where you would like to save the CSV file containing the password, select the folder, type a name for the CSV file, and then click the Save button.Method 2 of 5Manually backup key4.db and logins.json filesFirefox saves your passwords in key4.db and logins.json files. These files are located in your Firefox profile folder. You can backup these two files to export all passwords. After reinstalling Windows or Firefox, you can restore

I missing anything? leocg Moderator Volunteer @SlyCopper9821 last edited by leocg @slycopper9821 It should be just above the list of saved passwords, on the right of the Save Passwords string. And you should see it even with that flag disabled. Sora20000 @leocg last edited by @leocg I have the m92 flag enabled but the password import flag has not appeared and the 3 dots above saved passwords only allows me to export. leocg Moderator Volunteer @Sora20000 last edited by @sora20000 Did you also enabled opera://flags/#password-import? Ascuro last edited by What Leocg said. also if you add bookmark tab to sidebar, there is an option in there to import everything from a different browser, so i got all my browsing history, passwords, bookmarks etc from chrome Chankra @leocg last edited by This post is deleted!
