Revision Content

Firefox lets you import your Favorites (called Bookmarks in Firefox), saved logins, passwords, browsing history and other data from Microsoft Edge, saving you from having to configure many things yourself. This article gives you step-by-step instructions for getting it done.

Note: This article was written for Windows but generally applies to Mac, when Microsoft Edge is installed. To start the Import process on macOS, you can click File in the Firefox Menu bar at the top of the screen, click Import from Another Browser…, select Microsoft Edge in the Import Wizard window that opens, and then follow the prompts to choose what data to import.
