this is ridiculous – it actually says “saved passwords failed to import “
John says
This needs to be updated. Firefox is not an option as of APR22.

Several of us have asked for an answer from you as to why there is no “import from Firefox” in the new Edge Chromium like you have indicated. It just doesn’t exist under “import from another browser” Not a mention of Firefox, or Mozilla. You have not responded with an answer. How utterly useless your article is. Why did you even bother to mislead?
Mark says
You need to disable the master password in firefox before you can export passwords
Clay Cassin says
There is NO import from Firefox option in Edge. I am using the very LATEST version of Edge as of April, 30th, 2021. This article is either obsolete, or incorrect to begin with.
Clay Cassin says
Using latest Chromium based Edge, there is NO option under “import browser data” to select Firefox to import from. There is only “Legacy”, “internet Explorer”, and HTML file import. This article is either obsolete, or in error.
Martin Wright says
Tried this but Mozilla Firefox is not an option in the drop-down menu, only Internet Explorer. Suggestions please?

Mark, it’s because you are running legacy version of Edge. Not the Chromium-based Edge.
