How Do I Export Firefox Settings to Opera GX?

Published in Web Browsers 2 mins read

While a direct "export" and "import" feature for all Firefox settings to Opera GX doesn't exist, you can import specific data like passwords and bookmarks. Here's how to import passwords from Firefox to Opera GX, as the provided reference suggests:

Importing Passwords from Firefox to Opera GX

  1. Open Opera GX Settings: In the top-right corner of Opera GX, click the menu icon (usually three horizontal lines). Scroll down and click "Go to full browser settings." This opens the full settings page.

  2. Search for Passwords: Once you are in the settings, use the search bar at the top of the page and type "passwords."

  3. Find the Import Option: In the search results or the "Autofill" section, you should find an option related to importing passwords. Look for a button or link labeled "Import passwords" or simply "Import."

  4. Import from Other Browsers: Select "Firefox" (or a related option) as the browser you want to import passwords from.

  5. Confirm and Import: Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the import process. Opera GX will likely ask for confirmation to access the Firefox data.

Important Considerations:

  • Bookmarks: For importing bookmarks, you can usually find a similar import option in the settings related to bookmarks or "Import Bookmarks" for Opera GX.
  • Other Settings: Other Firefox settings like add-ons, history, and preferences generally cannot be directly transferred. You will need to configure these settings manually in Opera GX. Consider re-installing desired extensions through the Opera GX add-on store.
  • Password Security: Be cautious when importing passwords and ensure you are doing so on a secure network and device.
