Just had the same issue.
In my case, was due to using the Windows Store version of Firefox, which stores profiles in a different location than the typical standalone install.

So, this particular issue at least does in fact lie with Edge -- it does NOT look under "%localappdata%\Packages\Mozilla.Firefox_n80bbvh6b1yt2\LocalCache\" for profile data, at least as of current latest stable version of 121.0.2277.128.
After manually copying profiles to standalone version paths, the import detects and works fine.
