No Bookmarks (which are shown as imported from Chrome, almost 163 number of Bookmarks) are visible anywhere in Firefox. They are neither stored in the Bookmarks Tool Bar nor in any folder named Imported from Chrome. This is the situation. Uninstalled Firefox, removed all Folders (including the ones in hidden folders) and cleaned the Registry. Restarted the PC, reinstalled Firefox directly from the firefox site online, tried importing the Bookmarks from Chrome after restarting on installation of Firefox. Saved All passwords from Chrome as a CSV file (a Firefox requirement) and tried importing Bookmarks from Chrome along with the Passwords from the CSV file saved on Desktop. Again, the importing showed 163 Nos. of Bookmarks are imported. But on restarting Firefox, no bookmark could be found. Neither in the Bookmarks toolbar nor in any folder named with any name. My Bookmarks toolbar is checked as Always visible. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO NOW TO MAKE THE FIREFOX WORK as in the previous version. This kind of an error has crept only after updating Firefox to v150.0.1.

Uninstall and reinstall FF problem

Trying to install Firefox on Windows 11. I tried to import profiles from the Win10 machine but it didn't work - profile not found. I uninstalled and reinstalled again but same problem. I thought i had removedFF from the system but a search in this PC revealed 4 .browser files, 14 version files labelled from 134.0.2 to 119.0, a Dropbox messaging file? And a Firefox folder in Appdata Roaming.

Can I delete all of these and start again with a clean install? Why does the installer leave so much rubbish behind?

Help!

My bookmarks in Chrome do not import into Firefox. I've Tried importing right from the Chrome browser and importing with an HTML file. No success with my bookmarks. I was able to import an extension, but I deleted it as that isn't my focus. I've checked the HTML file and it does have content (viewed in NotePad). I've looked in all the Bookmark options, but nothing imported there. I paused my NordVPN, no change. I've rebooted my desktop nothing changed. I'm running the latest updated version of Win 11.

Please advise.

I'm unable to figure out how to transfer my Bookmarked Favorates and Pictures, Documents,and music folders and files from my Google Chrome web browser?

I have no idea what passwords from . csv.files are or where to find them on my Asus LinuxMint laptop?

 The only password and username that i entered into my LinuxLaptop  are the only usernames and passwords

that I've entered into my new computer. I've also entered my google Chrome username and password to set up my Thunderbird email service. I never wanted to sync all my usernames and passwords in my Acer laptop computer because I felt that that made it too simple for a hacker to access all of my personal Information and access to accounts. Mozilla Firefox wants a password for csv files or tsv files or HTML files ? I don' know what any of these files are or where to go to to find them or the passwords for these files. I just want to successfully transfer all of my Favorates folders and files then all my Documents and picture files to my new computer. I'm a Photography artist, Graphic Designer,abstract painter, and creative writer. I can't move forward in my creative pursuits without completing these tasks. Thanks very much for your help and information. I'm soon to be 80 years old and not a very good keypuncher on a computer. I'm happy to leave Microsoft Windows and Google behind but Linux Mint is all new to me.

I don't want Firefox to import anything from Chrome, not my bookmarks, not my history

I have one computer. I use Chrome for work stuff. I use Firefox for personal stuff. I installed the new Firefox as I was supposed to, and it closed all my tabs. I usually have the option to restore my previous session, but not this time. So I started going back through my history (grrrrr....) and my history is full of all the sites/tabs I visited with Chrome. I DO NOT want work stuff mixing with my personal stuff. Besides the fact that it is making it harder for me to restore my lost tabs, there is a reason I have two different browsers. I wish Firebox weren't trying to change my organizational scheme. I DO NOT WANT FIREFOX TO IMPORT HISTORY OR BOOKMARKS FROM CHROME. How do I turn this off?
