What browser were you importing from?

Try File | Import...

Mozilla 1.7.3

Just noticed that once I start entering a password it fills it in. This means I
have to first look up the pw info and start entering it before it will enter the
pw on the page. Makes the password saving function totally useless. Why not do
it as it was done in Mozilla? 

Other problems encountered:

Firefox does not include an email program. That currently makes FF totally
unusable for me. Please put the Mozilla email program into Firefox.

I have no choice but to go back to Mozilla until FF is fixed to be exactly the
same as Mozilla (with improvements of course). Why certain features have been
left out of FF is beyond me.

Finally, when installing FF the installer only allows ONE of the users
information to be imported (it gives a choice of which one when it should allow
choosing as many as wanted).

I am surprised that these things have been missed in the extensive pre-testing
before the final release. I waited until the official release to download it and
am disappointed at what is missing and what doesn't work right. Hopefully it
will be fixed very soon. Would like to use it.

Reporter, do you still see this problem with the latest Firefox 2? If not, can you please close this bug as WORKSFORME. Thanks!

WFM using Mozilla 1.7.13 and Firefox 2.0.0.6 on Windows Vista. I added a password to Mozilla 1.7.13, started up Firefox, chose "File -> Import" and selected the options to import my passwords from Mozilla 1.7.13. The password imported correctly.

Closing as WFM.
