Newly installed FF browser. Tried transferring bookmarks from Chrome to FF using "import bookmarks" menu. Appended .csv file without error but still bookmarks cannot be seen. Tried method two. Using Chrome bookmark manager, downloaded .html file. Used FF again to append without error but the same no bookmarks seen.

Is it really impossible to automatically transfer bookmarks from Chrome to FF?

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!

Kate (posting from an Android tablet, haven't tried to install FF on this yet)

I just downloaded Firefox and came to the page for importing data to Firefox, where it says " Import browser data" followed by a box containing "Microsoft Edge" in the next line, then

Select the data you’d like to import. Favorites Saved passwords Browsing history Form autofill data

then the prompt to Import

Is this a trick for Edge to import the data rather than Firefox or as it should be for Firefox to Import the data including that in Edge? As you might have guessed - I don't trust Edge or Microsoft one little bit.

I copied my home page from my old installation to another (new computer) - yadda.htm

I found out that the bookmarks toolbar is Installation Specific (boo) and that the export/import process on Firefox for the toolbar (according to Google) is hidden, convoluted. and a complete enigma (to me - can't be easy for anybody, really)

Could you please tell me how I can add to my new bookmarks toolbar from my old browser/installation without having to recreate them from scratch at my new installation?

Thank you.

I'm looking for help in transferring everything from Firefox to Chrome. If anyone knows how, because Google isn't being the best help at the moment. I have a Chromebook, so it's been tough trying to download Firefox. I'm looking for a way to move what I need onto the laptop without having to start from scratch and do things one by one, which is too many things. If anyone knows how, please don't hesitate to answer.
