Awesome addon! Keep up the good work.

I have recently moved from the "other" os to ubuntu and was missing all my old passwords. This extension gave me a clean option of merging saved passwords from the older profile.

1 tip: If due to some reason, it is possible to run firefox only from one profile (believe me, it can happen easily in "other" os), then follow these steps to merge passwords :
* export the currently saved passwords to xml.
* shutdown firefox
* (backup &) replace password related files (signons.sqlite & key3.db) from old profile to new profile
* restart FF -> now FF will show only passwords saved in old profile.
* import passwords from earlier export.
Voila!
