DESCRIPTION

This program is intended to import and export passwords from firefox. It uses the Marionette protocol and the nsILoginManager interface to access the Password Manager. This has been tested to work with Firefox 24 and above and has been designed to work with Firefox Sync

REQUIRED ARGUMENTS

Either --export, --import or --list-profile-names must be specified. If none of these is specified, --export is the assumed default

OPTIONS

Option names can be abbreviated to uniqueness and can be stated with singe or double dashes, and option values can be separated from the option name by a space or '=' (as with Getopt::Long). Option names are also case- sensitive.

  • --help - This page.

  • --version - Print the current version of this binary to STDOUT.

  • --binary - Use this firefox binary instead of the default firefox instance

  • --export - export passwords to STDOUT or the file name specified.

  • --import - import passwords from STDIN or the file name specified.

  • --list-profile-name - print out the available profile names

  • --profile-name - specify the name of the profile to work with.

  • --visible - allow firefox to be visible while exporting or importing logins

  • --debug - turn on debug to show binary execution and network traffic during exporting or importing logins

  • --console - make the browser javascript console appear during exporting or importing logins

  • --only-host-regex - restrict the export of logins to those that have a hostname matching the supplied regex.

  • --only-user - restrict the export of logins to those that have a user exactly matching the value.

AUTOMATIC AND MANUAL PROFILE SELECTION

firefox-passwords will automatically work with the default Profile. You can select other profiles with the --profile-name option
