I backed up a zip file using Thunderbird's built-in export backup function, reinstalled the system, and downloaded the latest Thunderbird. After importing, the password memorized by the password manager could not be recovered.

I used a primary password

There is no prompt to enter the master password when importing. There may be a process error here ?


Fortunately, I passed firefox_decrypt The project decrypted the password and filled it into the password manager

It is not a bug as such as the import of passwords in the profile import function was never implemented.

Then this should be put on the agenda as a feature, otherwise it will be very troublesome for people who migrate the configuration to the new system.

yeah, they threatened to revoke my access when I told them the delay was unacceptable. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1779022 that was 9 months ago. No action at all in the last 6 months. But I was the problem, not developer inaction.
