Same issue on Arch. Can't import passwords from Vivaldi, but bookmarks are imported

Same here also on arch, i could import the passwords though, just the bookmarks not showing after imported

update: it turns out that the bookmarks are stored but it's just not showing under the tabs, because it automaticly suggests the links when you type part of the link of one of the sites in your imported bookmarks,
