I was unable to import the password file that I had exported as CSV. Despite being a CSV I got the "XML parsing error". The CSV file was intact and I could view it in LibreOffice Calc. Went back and exported as an XML and was able to import it with no issues.

The best plugin for Firefox in my opinion, I've been using it for a long time and it's super useful. Just remember to export your data every so often so you are not out of luck if you have to reload your computer etc.

Have been a longtime user and wondered if the developer was still active?

After reading a number of reviews, I decided that people were trying to do things that were just plain not working and they were breaking the files in their attempts. This add-on works for me every time. This is advice to future users that want to use Password Exporter to change their passwords on a site.
1. Save the new password. Do not export and try to use any editor to change the original password.
2. Go to Tools >Options >Security tab in Firefox and click to show passwords. Highlight the line you want to remove and delete the old password.
3. Export your passwords in plain XML to a different drive and encrypt or password protect the drive or folder where your exported file is.
4. Do not try to export as Obfuscated CSV or XML. You will never get anything to import. Same goes for plain CSV files. I tried that myself.
5. Special characters can be saved and will import as of Firefox 40+ and above. I can save/import using x64 Firefox, Cyberfox, and Waterfox browsers as I like this way.
I am using Waterfox 40.0.3 as default browser at this time. XML editors, Libre or other programs that handle CSV files add characters to the files. If you feel you must dabble with trying to change the password outside of the browser, you do so at your own peril. Use a plain text editor such as Wordpad for Windows, and users of Linux know their way around to know which editors to use. However, I urge following the instructions in 1-3 as I wrote above.
(As of 6-20-2014) I sent a message to fligtar as he has moved on to other Mozilla development. I doubt there will be updates to this add-on, but we can hope. As I have posted above, I have found what has worked for me. If you figure out how to directly e-mail fligtar about issues, write like you're telling a friend about your experience. Don't be rude. Be precise with the problems.

This plugin corrupts all non-english and some special characters, making it useless for further importing in form-filling psw managers. Better use simple copy-paste (from FF preferencies window).

I've used this add-on every time I upgraded or purchased a new computer.
Unfortunately, the CSV and XML imports don't work anymore. I even tried editing the CSV import file and added double quotes for each line because that's what was in the export when I opened it with Notepad.
I ended up copying 2 files from the old profile to the new profile: signons.sqlite & key3.db - which was suggested by another reviewer. Worked like a charm.
1. Close Firefox.
2. Find your new profile -mine was in OS (C:) Users>username>AppData>Roaming>Mozilla>Firefox>Profiles>xxx.default
3. I renamed key3.db & signons.sqlite to a different file name.
4. Went to the old machine and copied the 2 original files from that profile into the new machine's profile.
5. Started Firefox.

Hasn't been updated in almost 3 years. Currently causes a bug with FF 25. When closing FF in windows, FF continues to run in the background. When attempting to open a new FF instance, greeted with an error that requires opening the windows task manager and manually killing the previous process.

Simple and easy to use. Made switching machines painless (well..at least the browser part)
