      I am a new user of Opera, and I was using a Firefox browser.
      When I set up Opera I imported passwords from Firefox, but they are not included.
      Also I am not being asked if I want to save any passwords.
      I have checked all the settings which are enabled, but they are just not being imported.

        Can you temporarily install Chrome, use it to import your passwords, and then use these directions to export the passwords and import them into Chrome?

        Was Firefox closed when you tried to import its passwords?

          Hello,

          Thanks for the guide, I'll do that and let you know if it's successful.

          Firefox was deleted from the Programs and Features in Control Panel.

          As Opera wasn't doing the job, I re-installed Firefox and all the passwords were available in the browser without importing.

          Thanks again.

            Hello,
            Have successfully imported Passwords.
            I went to import bookmarks and settings and unticked all options other than passwords, then checked they were in the Autofill Password file, and all is well.
            Thanks for your help, and I did export the csv file from Firefox so have that as a backup if needed in the future.
            Regards
