Importing Passwords from Firefox and Thunderbird the easy way.

1. In Firefox/Thunderbird, install Password Exporter 1.2 from:
<http://xsidebar.mozdev.org/modifiedmisc.html#passwordexporter>
2. Export your passwords to a XML file.

3. In SeaMonkey 2.0, install Password Exporter 1.2.
4. Import your passwords from the XML file generated in Step 2.

----------==========----------
Password Exporter is an extension for Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird
that allows you to export and import your saved passwords and disabled
login hosts from Password Manager. The logins will be exported to an XML
(Extensible Markup Language) or CSV (Comma Separated Values) file and
can then be imported into another application or computer that has
Password Exporter installed.

Where to find it:
Firefox Options/Preferences -> Security pane -> Import/Export Passwords
button.
OR
SeaMonkey -> Edit -> Preferences -> Privacy &amp; Security pane ->
Passwords -> Import/Export Passwords button.
OR
Add-ons Manager -> Preferences/Options for the extension.
----------==========----------

And may I add that having the "do something" trigger hidden under preferences is about as counter-intuitive as anything I've ever seen. I found the one in Add-ons Manager by trying to find somewhere in preferences to set the location of the "do something" button. This would be vastly easier to find if there was an import/export menu item in password manager, like bookmarks. Or even on the pane for the feature in Add-ons manager.

It's about as intuitive as putting the "apply brakes" control in a car as a subfunction of dashboard lighting brightness. "Do something useful" is not a preference.
