Import from Firefox settings?

Unread post by PhilipLewis » 2015-09-07, 20:22

Sorry to be a noob. I have used windows PM for many years, and decided to try it on my Mac as well as I rather detest the new Firefox.

Upon installation, there is only an option to import settings from Safari. Since all my passwords and settings etc. are in FF, I was wondering if it is possible to import them. If not, this is a request to allow this on insert.

1. instal the windows version of PM (either through wine or on a real windows machine)
2. run the profile migration tool
3. copy the palemoon profile folder from the windows installation to the mac installation
