Passwords could not be im..."XML parsing error. Passwords could not be imported." > solved or better say with workaround. Issue with the codding for the xml.Using CZECH, ENGLISH and BULGARIAN keyboards causes saving passwords in other codding where xml shows this error.<br />I tried following. <br />1. Export passwords from the new extension where one can be saved.<br />2. Open the xml with the old saved passwords.<br />3. Copy from the old to the new xml by taking not more then 10 lines so if the error appear while importing to see which line contain characters as "+ a" or similar so to remove them.<br />4. Once the error appear you need to export again the newer passwords and save them to new file, the characters already changed the xml coding so wont work anymore.<br />It works for me, exported from Firefox portable 2.X to 3.X installed version.<br /><br />VirusRemovalTeam@McAfeeEmillionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11051962585738939624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3062430.post-3227024386739409032009-07-23T00:16:11.557-07:002009-07-23T00:16:11.557-07:00@worlebird, I've updated maxVersion to 3.5.*. ...@worlebird, I've updated maxVersion to 3.5.*.

So far as I can tell, it works just fine in 3.5 (I turned off my compatibility check to try it), but a quickie update to flag it as compatible would be nice. Also, have you communicated at all with the original author? Having this fixed version available from the main mozilla add-on site would be nice.worlebirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16342820896076218288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3062430.post-86263958731494211362009-07-11T02:37:03.925-07:002009-07-11T02:37:03.925-07:00Thanks :o) it worksThanks :o) it worksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3062430.post-60663017448250492882009-07-07T01:43:53.362-07:002009-07-07T01:43:53.362-07:00Vic, real thanks for this fix!
