Yes i did export it. But the problem is in Firefox. There is no Password import
Will you give those bug reports a vote?
If you can convert the CSV backup to JSON then you can import this JSON file in Firefox.

Bug 1423714 Import logins from Chrome on OS X
That Bug was reported to be fixed in Firefox 71.0 - 3 months ago.
Are you using Firefox 71 on MacOSX? Or perhaps your issue is different than was discussed in this support thread?
I have Firefox 71.0, but I still can’t import passwords from either the browser, Google account, or ccv file. Linux Mint 19 Computer OS
I think that importing passwords from Google Chrome is only supported on Windows and not on Mac and Linux. You can import passwords from a JSON file via the Browser Console with a few lines of code, but that requires that you can export the logins in the other browser to a JSON file.
