Switching from Google Chrome to Firefox is easy and risk-free! Firefox can automatically import your bookmarks, passwords, history, and other data 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 and other data.
    • (Optional) If you have Google Chrome open tabs you want to save, bookmark them all in an easy-to-find location, such as in a new “Open Tabs” folder in the Bookmarks bar.

  4. Open your newly-installed Firefox. The import tool will pop up.
  5. Choose the Google Chrome profile and the data you wish to import.

  6. Click on the Import button to complete the process.

Note: If you saved your open tabs in Google Chrome, find the “From Google Chrome” folder in the Firefox Bookmarks Toolbar, select the “Open Tabs” folder you created and click Open All in Tabs to open the tabs in Firefox.
