The easiest way to do that is to export all Firefox passwords using the Firefox add-on Password Exporter which can save the passwords in an XML file. The bad news is that the current Keepass 1.10 cannot import those passwords directly, the good news is that the Keepass 2.x alpha version can. The easiest way to import the Firefox passwords into Keepass is to download and install both the current version of Keepass and the Keepass 2.x alpha version.

The alpha version is not only able to import the Firefox passwords that are saved in the xml file, it is furthermore capable of exporting the passwords again in a format that the Keepass 1.10 application can import. Let me sum it up to make it clear:

• Install the Firefox Password Exporter Extension.
• Export the passwords in an XML file
• Download, install and run Keepass 2.x alpha
• Import the XML file that contains the Firefox passwords into Keepass 2.x alpha by selecting File > Import and Password Exporter from the list
• Export the Keepass database by selecting File > Export and KeePass KDB (1.x)
• Download, install and run Keepass 1.x
• Import the newly exported KDB 1.x database file into the software
• Uninstall Keepass 2.x alpha, delete the exported XML password file on your computer and use Eraser to clean the unused disk space to make sure it cannot be recovered.

The last four steps will no longer be necessary ones the final version of Keepass 2.x will be released by the author.
