      Hi, I'm on Yosemite 10.10.5 (14F2411) and Opera Beta Version:57.0.3098.53.

      Opera always fails to import passwords from Firefox 63.0.3 although it imports bookmarks just fine. I've tried Opera normal but could not try Opera Developer because it won't run (I'll open up a thread related to that situation later if needed).

      Many thanks in advance.

            Found the issue. since 2015/2016, Chromium started failing silently to import passwords from Firefox and the bug is still open in the tracker. nice one googol

                You emable opera://flags/#PasswordImport and then you go to opera://settings/passwords, click on the three dots on the right of 'saved passwords' and click on 'import'. It will open a dialog for you to choose the csv file that you've have created when you exported the password from the other browser.
