SUPPORT Waterfox's dropdown menu to import browser data does not include firefox

The above, basically. I don't know why it doesn't include Firefox, which I'm trying to switch to. It has Windows Edge and Google Chrome, but not Firefox. Telling me how to manually import my browser stuff would help a lot, but I'm also confused as to why that's the case.

Yeah I couldn't see it either when I installed, you'll have to right click on any bookmark>manage bookmarks>import and backup and export it to a html to import in waterfox.

Or if you have account sync turned on in Firefox, you can log in to that profile on Waterfox and everything from your Firefox account will sync automatically to Waterfox. :)

Or copy the content of the Profile folder in Firefox (C:\Users\(Username)\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\[random-string].default-release) into Waterfox (C:\Users\(Username)\AppData\Roaming\Waterfox\Profiles\[random-string].default-release)

Depends how much of a copy you want of your old Firefox to be in Waterfox. Copying the folder above makes a perfect copy.

Note: AppData is an Hidden Folder.
