Basically, i need my tabs restored. I tried lurking around. I lurked moar. I chatGPT it. I even tried to find tech support. Nothing helpful ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

I have a lot of tabs that i need and they accumulated over months of my chrome usage. I successfully restored history and other things, but not open tabs. Well, how do i restore them or do i have to manually open all of them?

Note: i deleted chrome already

I keep trying to import my passwords from Chrome. (Working on Mac OS.) Every time, it asks me for my 'login' password from keychain. The problem is, I don't use keychain. I don't have any kind of separate password for it. The prompt pop-up won't accept my computer's login password, my Apple login password, my Google account login password, the password from the password manager my computer is set to use by default... Nothing works. What does it even WANT from me at this point?

I want to migrate everything from windows to linux, i've already synchronised browsers on both systems, but settings on linux didn't get overrided.

How can i make browser on linux exactly the same as on windows (including settingd)?

You listed some processes for importing Bookmarks,folders and files from a laptop with Google Chrome Bookmarks with passwords from CSV files or Bookmarks from HTML files. I didn't have my printer installed on my new Linux Mint Firefox Laptop so I couldn't print out the instruction to follow. Hopefully, I now have my Canon Printer installed on my Linux laptop so that I can print out all the instructions in detail. The information was posted to the right of this comment box. Please post the information again so that I can print it for reference and to follow. Thanks very much.

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 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.

Hello. I wanted to know whether it was possible to connect another browser data, as I usually use two browsers: Safari and Google Chrome. I added my data on safari when setting up Firefox, but I would like to add the data on chrome as well. Is there any way to do so?

Hello, I just used the Firefox 141.0 (aarch64) wizard for Raspberry Pi OS 1.0, to import bookmarks from Brave, however the wizard said 0 bookmarks imported.

I also manually exported and imported the bookmarks.html file and the latest bookmarks aren't appearing at the top. It seems the bookmarks are nested in some bookmarks directory by default. I'm confused?

Also I tried a manual import several months ago but same issue about some strange nesting structure rather than simply appearing at the top. Now I'm really confused and worried I'll lose my bookmarks as there's about 3 version in various nested structures. Please help just make an easy move to Firefox.

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.

Your instructions for migrating passwords from Safari to Firefox are outdated, ex.: there is no "Preferences" option, and no "..." to export

My Safari version on Macbook Pro is: Version 18.5 (20621.2.5.11.8) And my Macbook Pro runs: Sequoia 15.5

I've tried 7 times to import my bookmarks from Chrome into Firefox. Firefox says that the import was successful each time, but the bookmarks aren't showing up in the Bookmark Tool Bar. It's only showing the older import, not the latest. If I go to one of the new pages, it shows that it is bookmarked, but the list that it belongs to is nowhere to be found....

So how do I update to the newly imported "Imported From Firefox" folder?
