Description of the issue:

On install when go to settings to import settings, bookmarks, etc., from Firefox the system says it has imported. However, no bookmarks show, no passwords are available. I tried twice. I got two items in the drop-down menu which say that they point to bookmarks; the only item is ‘getting started’.

When attempting to install Brave on Win11, this works without a problem. Note that the Firefox profile on Win11 is the same as the Firefox profile on macOS, and both versions of Firefox are 139.

Brave is useless on macOS.

How can this issue be reproduced?

Expected result:

Brave Version( check About Brave):

There is apparently a current issue re the passwords and importing them from Chrome/Chromium:

. . . and maybe a similar situation for importing passwords from Mozilla Firefox?

I wonder if you try to only import the bookmarks from Firefox - does that work?
