Import your Firefox bookmarks to Chrome

1Import Firefox bookmarks to Chrome - Step 1

There are two ways of importing your Firefox bookmarks into Google Chrome: if Firefox is installed on the same computer, and accessible under the same user account on Windows / Mac OS X / Linux, you can automatically import them using Chrome's import tool. If that is not the case, you can still import bookmarks from an browser-exported HTML file. I'll cover both. If needed (different computer scenario), go export your Firefox bookmarks to a file!

Note: if you're trying to do the opposite, see how to export your Chrome bookmarks to a file, and how to import Chrome bookmarks into Firefox!

- Let's start with the easiest: the bookmark-import Firefox is under the same username and computer. First, exit Firefox (its files are locked while running). From Chrome, click on the menu button (top right), and pick Settings.

Briefly, click on the menu button (top right corner), select Bookmarks, and click on Bookmark manager. From that tab, click on the Organize dropdown button at the top, and select "Import bookmarks from HTML file" in the menu. Navigate to the folder where you saved your bookmarks file, select it, and continue!
