Password imports. I want export import function

[GaryWayne]

I found myself needing to uninstall firefox due to a loading error.  Only thing is I'd have to manually re-enter my passwords.  I need to be able to export passwords to a file then after reinstalling firefox import passwords from that file.  Is there anyone out there that has had this problem?

Hi, maybe back up your thunderbird profiles : This PC > View > tick 'hidden items' then C Drive > Users > [name] > AppData > Roaming > Thunderbird > Profiles

On any reinstallation, copy the contents of the two folders into the new folders at the same location (it is obvious which goes where, but the 'release' one is the one you need

All settings, folders and passwords are moved across

Use the instructions on this page: Export login data from Firefox

If you want to back up your saved usernames and passwords or move them to a different application, the Firefox password management feature allows you to export this data to a .csv (comma separated values) file.

[...]

You can also import login data from another browser, or import login and password data from a file.
