-Troubleshoot
-------------
-
-- ``ffpass export: error: the following arguments are required: -d/--directory/--dir``
-
- It means one of the following (launch with option ``--verbose`` to
- know):
-
- - Automatic profile selection is not supported for your platform.
- - There is more than one user profile for Firefox.
-
- You have to provide the ``--dir`` option with your Firefox Profile
- Folder. To find it, follow these
- `instructions <https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-where-firefox-stores-user-data#w_how-do-i-find-my-profile>`__
- on the website of Firefox.
-
-- ``Firefox password database is empty. Please create it from Firefox.``
-
- It means that Firefox currently doens’t store any password.
- ``ffpass`` cannot create the password database for security reasons.
- Just add one password manually to Firefox to create the database.
-
-- Empty url field in Firefox after importing: the urls of the source
- csv file must begin with a scheme (``http://``, ``https://``,
- ``ftp://``, etc…)
