Firefox Quantum is one of the modern browsers that has taken an important pulse in the world of web browsing since it offers security, compatibility, new configuration options and in general a more stable performance so that many more users migrate towards it..

 

One of these changes we see in Mozilla Firefox 80 and in later versions since now the possibility of exporting and importing passwords saved in the browser is integrated , this greatly simplifies the import process avoiding doing the process manually, with this new one function is now possible to create a backup of your saved passwords in a CSV file and then import both Firefox passwords and logins of Firefox from a CSV file.
