Migrate passwords from Chrome to Firefox Quantum

Is there a way to import passwords from Chrome to Firefox Quantum?

I'm storing passwords in Chrome's manager, not using any 3rd party app (and don't want to).

There's no passwords option in Import Wizard

Usually, the import tool should do the trick of migrating passwords from chrome to firefox. You can find this tool within the Library. I'm not sure if you are referring to this import tool as the "Import Wizard".

--> Step-by-Step accessing the library:

  • Press Ctrl + Shift + B in Firefox for Windows

or

  • Press Ctrl + Shift + O in Firefox for Linux

or

  • If your menu-bar is hidden, press Alt to make it appear.
  • Click on Bookmarks
  • Click on Manage Bookmarks

--> Once the Library window has opened:

  • Click on the Import and Backup button

  • Proceed as shown on the websites linked below

Yes, I followed those guides. The window opened after clicking Import Data from Another Browser is called Import Wizard but there's no passwords/logins option – simPod – 2018-02-12T12:07:20.233

Hmm.. then Firefox does'nt seem to find it. I can't help you any further. – johnnybegood – 2018-02-14T03:56:21.130

Here is how I solved this on my Linux rig (Linux showed 3 options as your graphic above shows -- no password import option). I logged in from Windows computer and saw all 4 options. Then opened the Linux computer and activated Firefox Sync. My passwords were now available!

Unfortunately, I don't see this as very helpful, since you mention Linux and Windows, when the OP is on a Mac. How did that solve the browser issue on your Linux side? Can you provide any screenshots or to help with your walk through if it did work for your Linux side? – computercarguy – 2019-05-17T15:53:08.673
