Mint+MATE-21.2: Just downloaded the Linux version and "Import data from another browser" but it does not see FFx. Showed something "Found no other browser..."

I then used FFx to "Backup" Bookmarks and tried to import that file into Mullvad. Blanks sheet. I moved the file to the Downloads folder, (Desktop can be iffy) same again. In fact, when I select "All Files" I still get a bank screen.

The Download file dialog shows "JSON" in caps and Linux is strict about Case. Could it be looking for "json" that FFx uses?

For now, back to FFX -- damn short visit.

Hi friends On Fedora 38

millvad-browser-flatpack 1.0 12.5.3 (based on Mozilla Firefox 102.15.0esr)

Unfortunately i can't import bookmarks exported from firefox (html and json)

It's the only reason i don't fully migrate to mullvad browser which seems to be a very exciting project.

Thanks you mullvad and tor browser

Importing bookmarks now works correctly since Mullvad Browser 13.5 on all platforms! 🎆
