Firefox import

I've tried doing the passwords import several times in Chrome 29.0.1547.66 (latest) from Firefox 23.0.1, but every time it simply doesn't import them.Is this a Chrome bug or do I need to do something to Firefox to facilitate the smooth import of the passwords? asked Sep 12, 2013 at 21:51 3 The "solution" to this was to install LastPass on Chrome and Firefox, import to LastPass from Firefox, then just use the LastPass extension on Chrome.Seems to be more secure this way as well. answered Oct 15, 2014 at 1:30 EcomEvoEcomEvo1,1433 gold badges12 silver badges21 bronze badges This was working for meIn Firefox install addon Password Exporter > export data to xmlThen install Firefox 25.0.1 - FF will be downgraded to this old version (alternatively you can do this on another computer or in virtual computer)You have to install the addon Password Exporter again > import dataIn Chrome go to Menu > Bookmarks & Settings and import from Firefox answered May 29, 2015 at 23:20 5ulo5ulo1262 bronze badges 2 You must log in to answer this question.

Firefox is a commonly used browser with many extensions. Compared with ie, it has many advantages, but some minor aspects seem to be poorly considered. For example, users often encounter problems such as system reinstallation, which requires importing and exporting cookies and folders of Firefox browser. Unfortunately, Firefox only provides the function of importing cookies and favorites of ie by default, After some attempts, I found a way to manually import and export Firefox cookies and favorites here.Cookies:“Firefox: profiles” and “my folder” are selected first, and then “Firefox: profiles” and “my folder” are selected, and then “my folder” is selected at the end, and “my folder” is displayed at random. After entering this directory, find cookies Txt and bookmarks HTML two files, which are cookies and favorites files. Copy these two files to a similar directory on another machine and overwrite the files with the same name to complete the export and import of cookies and favorites of Firefox. Bookmark:In addition, Firefox favorites (bookmarks) can also be exported directly through menu options. The specific method is to open Firefox, click “bookmark – > bookmark management” to start the bookmark manager, and click “file – > export” to back up the existing bookmarks. On another machine, use the “import” function of bookmarks to import the backup bookmarks into the configuration of the new Firefox. The last method is to use the Firefox plug-in. If you feel you trust Google, you can install the Google Browser Sync plug-in developed by Google. You can save your Firefox settings such as bookmarks, history, saved passwords and cookies into your own Google account. You can use your Google account to log in and synchronize the contents of the browser on another machine. Of course, please do not use this plug-in in unsafe places such as Internet cafes, otherwise it will bring great security problems.

Firefox Profile As per Mozilla “Firefox saves your personal information such as bookmarks, passwords, and user preferences in a set of files called your profile”. A person can have multiple profiles created each having a separate set of information. Need for a profile? Whenever Firefox is launched by Selenium WebDriver the plugins and settings present in our default profile are not available as each instance of a driver creates a temporary profile. To view the temporary profile launch the WebDriver instance and once the Firefox browser opens navigate to help and troubleshoot to view profile information. public class FirefoxProfile { public static void main(String[] args) { System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "C:\\driver\\geckodriver.exe"); WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(); driver.manage().window().maximize(); driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(5, TimeUnit.SECONDS); driver.get(" } } Click on the Show Folder button to view the details of the temporary profiles created. Profile Creation in Firefox We can create our own Firefox profiles and can call that specific profile each time when we automate using WebDriver so that our execution will be more efficient and reliable. Some scenarios like handling of SSL certificates are also done by custom profile creation. Steps to create profile Open Run command Type firefox.exe -p and click on ok A dialog box will be open → Firefox-Choose User Profile Select Create Profile button and click on next Enter Profile name and click on finish button Now verify the profile creation in very first pop up that appeared From now on, We can use the newly created profile in our WebDriver scripts. WebDriver Script for Using Custom Profile To call custom profiles on Firefox, We must use the WebDriver inbuilt class(ProfilesIni). The getProfile() method will help us in calling the created Firefox profile import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit; import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver; import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver; import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.internal.ProfilesIni; import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxProfile; public class FirefoxProfileCreate { public static void main(String[] args) { System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "C:\\driver\\geckodriver.exe"); ProfilesIni profile = new ProfilesIni(); FirefoxProfile fox = profile.getProfile("SeleniumTest"); WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(fox); driver.manage().window().maximize(); driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(5, TimeUnit.SECONDS); driver.get(" } } Install your Firefox profile with the Firebug extension and close the browser. Now use the above code to run your profile. Verify the instance of Firefox browser also has
