:epopescu, if you think that's a regression, could you try to find a regression range using for example mozregression?

Hi Ina, any news on a regression range?

I've searched through older builds, back from 2021, but I wasn't able to find any build where Chromium is available in Import Wizard. I'll have another look here, but this doesn't look to be a regression.

On the machine where you're seeing this, can you open chrome://version/ while in Chromium and share the "Profile Path" directory? Is it perhaps a snap build of chromium, and/or where does the profile path live on your machine?
