      So I got opera last night and I'm loving it so far. The bookmark and history sync is absolutely wonderful and super easy to use, but the passwords didn't sync over from Firefox, which is really the only issue I have with it so far. Is there any way to transfer them besides the options apparent in the settings tab? I saw a few people posting about a year back (?) about the same issue on Macbook, switching over from chrome and I saw that you could use the command terminal to maybe force it to work, but I have no idea what the right syntax for the command would be, any help is appreciated!

        @majesty838 Does Firefox have an export option? Opera can import or export) passwords in CSV format (Comma-Separated Values, a common text format used by databases and such).

            @majesty838 Enable opera://flags/#password-import and, then, import the passwords in opera://settings/passwords

              @leocg said in Password sync from Firefox:

              Enable opera://flags/#password-import

              where do I type this into? a command window or something else? I'm sorry for asking so much, I know next to nothing about software

                    Is there any reason why that flag wouldn't show up when I look for it?
                    I really wanted to move my passwords over from FF, but I can't find the flag to enable importing the CSV file

                      @turbodefender It seems to have been removed by Chromium recently.
                      You can get it back, at least for now, by enabling the flag to temporary unexpired m92 flags.
