iMac: Managing Keychain passwords after switching to Firefox

Hi, I have an Apple iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2015) Version Monterey 12.7.6. I have just stopped using Safari due to no further updates and I'm now using Firefox, I have transferred all my passwords and bookmarks etc to Firefox, my passwords are still in the Apple passwords keychain. Can I safely leave them in there or would it be best to delete them as they are now in Firefox ? Is there anything else I would need to secure passwords within Firefox ? Kind regards.

There's an Apple Passwords add-on for Firefox so you can continue to use the Passwords app.

Thank you, I've imported my passwords to Firefox, is this ok or should I just use the extension you have provided ? Many thanks.
