Switching from Google Chrome to Firefox is easy and risk-free! Firefox can automatically move bookmarks, passwords, history and other preferences from Chrome without deleting it or interfering with any of its settings. Give it a try.

  1. Don't remove Chrome [yet]... We'll need it to import your Bookmarks, Passwords and History soon.
  2. Download and install Firefox from https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/new/.
  3. Quit ChromeExit Chrome if you have it running.
    quit chrome macquit chrome win
  4. Open your newly-installed Firefox. The import tool will pop up.
    • If it doesn't, click the Library 57 library icon button, followed by Bookmarks, then go to the bottom and click Show all Bookmarks. Finally, click Import and BackupImport import buttonImport and Backup and select Import Data from another Browser from the menu.
  5. The import tool will look similar tolike this:
    import toolFxImportWizard-Win7
  6. Choose Chrome in the Import Settings and Data window. In the next screen, choose the things you want to import. Follow the prompts and Firefox will take care of the rest.
