Pale Moon to Waterfox migration

Hello

I've been using Pale Moon for a few years since Firefox became a bit crap but now Pale Moon has recently made a significant change that has forced me to look for another browser. I have installed Waterox to give it a try and have searched online for ways to export all settings, bookmarks and passwords from Pale Moon to Waterfox but the results are never relevant. There is plenty of information about migrating from Firefox to Pale Moon or Firefox to Waterfox.
Does anybody here have any ideas on the best (and hopefully easy) way to move everything over to Waterfox?
Thanks

I have use Pale Moon for years due to favorite extensions still being supported but not in Firefox. Curious what changed, in your mind.
Bookmarks are easy. Click Pale Moon in upper L corner/Bookmarks/Organize bookmarks then Import and Backup tab/Export bookmarks to HTML. File is importable to any browser.
I use Last Pass password manager so all passwords work on any browser with LP extension or login to their home page. Settings may have to be redone from Customize in Waterfox. Good Luck

Hi

I switched to Pale Moon after Firefox limited cookie control. Previously I used to deny all cookies unless it was a site I used often and trusted, I would then allow all cookies. For some sites it was necessary to allow cookies only for that session, these were normally sites that I needed to have a cookie but didn't want it stored permanently or where I had to buy something where the price could change. Pale Moon has recently joined Firefox in removing the 'ask me every time' option in cookie control which is what Waterfox has.

I have managed to import my bookmarks but am having trouble with LastPass. I have opened the LastPass vault in Waterfox and have tried to import passwords using a 'Generic CSV File' but they don't seem to transfer to Waterfox.

From way out in leftfield, is Pale Moon that was used 32-bit or 64-bit, WaterFox being 64-bit?

Can't help with the cookie setting, as I have it set to only save cookies for sites that I visit. As far as LastPass, it is control from their site, not the browser. If you sign in to the extension in Waterfox, Chrome or Edge, your password vault is synchronized when you sign in. IE; you enter a new User name and pass on a new site in Waterfox and elect to 'save site and password', you can close, open Chrome, sign-in to the LastPass extension there and the new site will be there too. The CSV export is only to create a file that you can store on, say, a flash drive to use on another computer or export to Onedrive for safe keeping. Hope that helps.

Hello
I have transferred everything from Pale Moon to Waterfox using MozBackup, it seems to be running smoothly so far. I have also installed the Cookie AutoDelete and Cookie Quick Manager extensions but I think the Cookie AutoDelete one will suffice. I think I'll stick with this setup until the next unwanted change to my browser of (not quite) choice.
It's a shame we have to install extensions to replace something that used to be part of the browser.

Thanks for all the advice, it is much appreciated.
