Firefox Community Forum

Hello,

so, when I opened a site, Firefox recommended to me that I import the necessary login data from another browser... However in consequence it imported EVERYTHING from the Chrome browser. I deliberately like to keep data separate from browsers, aside from login data. My Chrome browser has way more bookmarks, in other words, my Firefox browser gets cluttered by this and kind of indistinguishable. I don't like that.

I still have an installation of Firefox on an other system that's just a few months old that should be fine. Can I determine the direction of the sync, whether it downloads or uploads data? This could solve my problem. Alternatively, may there be different save states to choose from (although this may the same question)?

I have my ubuntu user firefox folder with all files from logins.json to sqllite db files

issue is logins.json has userid and passwords encrypted (json has encryption as Type 1) whereas when try to import it to windows Firefox it fails as it expects CSV to have plain text passwords not encrypted ones

How do I go about syncing my Windows Firefox such that I can get userid/paswords from ubuntu backed up files

Any help is much appreciated.

In advance Happy Holidays
