Re: [Bug-gnuzilla] Icecat - how to move passwords from Firefox

[Stuart T Rogers]

Thanks for the advice. Basically I think to have a Firefox clone without 
a method of moving passwords etc across is extremely bad and yes for me 
with 400+ passwords to manage makes moving to Icecat completely 
impossible. All the other FF clones I've tried I have been able to 
accomplish this with only minimal effort. I have no wish to use any 
cloud based facilities which might work as I simply do not believe them 
secure enough.
