Move settings, passwords, bookmarks from Firefox to Chrome
Hello friends, today's tutorial we'll see how moving all settings, passwords and bookmarks in Firefox browser in the Chrome browser.
If my colleague had a tutorial What is the best browser - Firefox vs Chrome vs Edge I will show such move all the "catrafuses" from Firefox to Chrome.
Although Edge came out overall best browser, Google Chrome still enjoyed success with extensions made for the developers, and are highly appreciated by users. For some practical matters less now just extensions and browser.
I decided to do this tutorial in response to a user named Adi telling us in the comments box above tutorial mentioned that would make switching to Chrome browser if you knew how to move all settings, passwords and bookmarks the Firefox browser in Chrome.
Moving process is very simple and requires no additional software. Just visit the Chrome browser settings and then go to Import Bookmarks and Settings or Import bookmarks and settings.
Although we chose to import data from Firefox to Chrome, the same procedure can import settings, passwords and bookmarks in any browser Chrome.

Hello! Could you do a tutorial on how to create a custom hidden recovery partition just like it is on laptops with Windows preinstalled? You know that every manufacturer modifies the operating system a bit in the sense that they add some utilities of their own, include some information about the device in System Properties, change the background, and that's it. At the moment I only have Windows and the drivers installed on my laptop and I want to make a backup of the system in the state it is in with the background I have now, with the programs and drivers from Lenovo that I have. -I installed now etc, you understand. I found a video in which this thing is presented or I pray, something similar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pv9taoybxOs. I tried what is there, it mostly works only because it doesn't keep my background (I also put the blue one from Wndows), and if we say that I have Annyversary Update and after I receive Creators Update through updates and I want to reset your PC, it doesn't work anymore, I mean it's like doing a clean install, it doesn't take into account that backup hidden in the recovery partition that I created and I configured it as in that video. If you know another solution by creating a system backup by putting it on a hidden partition exactly as laptop manufacturers do and if I give it Reset your PC or System Recovery to return to its original state (as it was when I created that partition) it will I'm grateful! A good evening!
Thanks to everyone for help and tutorials wear!
Thanks so much for promptness!
I know that moving information between browsers is not a complicated one, but it seems that simple problems are difficult to solve. I followed the steps in the video and IT DOESN'T WORK FOR ME. Yes ... hard to believe ...... but it simply doesn't matter the passwords, or the browsing history or preferences / bookmarks. I think it DOESN'T MATTER ANYTHING. I don't know what the problem might be because it's a pretty simple thing, maybe some "weird" settings I made through Firefox, although I didn't really stick my nose in there.
Do you know that could be the problem?
How can I handle this?
Why do I insist? I don't have a high-performance PC and Firefox kills it ....!
The current version of Chrome is no longer possible to import directly from Mozilla.
It is possible only through html file.
But you can export from Mozilla to html and import to Chrome. The problem is that it only shows you bookmarks vertically in an "Imported" directory.
It is also possible. We used the latest version of Google Chrome, this tutorial is only 3 days posted. Make sure you have the latest version of Google Chrome. Go to the top right menu button and click About Chrome or About Chrome and see if a new update is available or if you write that Google Chrome browser is up to date
Here he writes:
Version 58.0.3029.110
Google Chrome is upgraded.
For "import bookmarks and settings" I only have IE or html file with bookmarks.
What's different: I did not let Chrome be the default browser. Is it from this?
Does he have to have "full rights"?
Well, to import something from Firefox, you must have Firefox installed and set as default browser. Logical, right? If you have not installed Firefox, how and what to import from Firefox if you have not installed it on your PC?

You've misunderstood.
Obviously I have Fiefox installed. I've also installed Chrome, but the default browser has been firefox.
I guess that's why I don't "see" the menu as in the video.
Or not?
Thanks for the tutorials. And to me the same problem as above. Updated on the latest version of Chrome, set as the default brawser, and import all my bookmarks to a bookmark in the bookmarks bar.
