mrc-converter-suite fails to decrypt Firefox passwords

Enabled

Hello,

I'm trying to use mrc-converter-suite to convert my Firefox (87) passwords on Ubuntu Linux, I know its not Windows or MacOS but perhaps someone can still give me some pointers on what to look at after all its still perl.

I've got all the required perl modules installed that came up as errors and changed the Firefox.pm file to reflect the correct path for my profile but now when I try to convert it keeps failing on decryption of the passwords :+1:

enabled@localhost:~/mrc-converter-suite$ perl convert.pl -v firefox firefox.json
Profile 'default' at /home/enabled/.mozilla/firefox/XXXXXXXX.default
    Convert it? [Y to convert, N to skip] Y
    Enter the profiles master password [just hit Enter if none]: 
    Master password is incorrect (attempt 1 of 3)
    Enter the profiles master password [just hit Enter if none]: 
    Master password is incorrect (attempt 2 of 3)
    Enter the profiles master password [just hit Enter if none]: 
    Master password is incorrect (attempt 3 of 3)
    Password attempts exceeded - skipping profile
Imported 0 items
Exported 0 total items

This is the result both with a master password configured in Firefox as well as with the master password removed.

A solution or good pointers on how to debug this would be much appreciated!
