Add import to password manager to allow easier migration from Mozilla. I must be able to import both bookmarks and passwords to transition from Moz to Firebird. The bookmark manager has an "import" feature, but the password manager does not. Sure, I can simply copy key3.db and copy the *.s file to signons.txt, but it would be better if this was handled in the GUI somehow. Perhaps this is an enhancement request, but it is the reason it took me until now to switch to Firebird.
this is planned (profile migration from seamonkey/netscape) but I'm not sure where the bug is right now, its on the roadmap though

couldn't find the bug. Brian, is this part of ben's profile migration work or does it have to be separate?

This bugs ask about import functionality in the password manager, not about profile migration in general. Please reopen.
Well, no, this bug asked for import because at the time, in 2003, the only way to get anything from the suite was by manually importing it. If you have some need for manual import, which is not met by profile migration, you are far better off opening a new bug which explains the what and why, rather than waiting on a bug which has sat untouched for three years because it asked for one thing but needed another which it has long since gotten.
The subject of this bug is "Add import to Password Manager" and nothing else. And since there is no import in password manager this bug is not resolved.
