I'm trying to import all my settings and data from Iron to Firefox, but Firefox refuses to display Iron/Chrome in the list. Is there any other way of doing this?

Chosen solution

You can import from Chrome, but not other builds like Iron. You should be able to import from Iron if you replace the Chrome profile folder with Iron's:

  1. Press the Windows logo orb on the taskbar to bring up the Start Menu.
  2. In the search box, type %LocalAppData% and press the Enter key.
  3. In the Windows Explorer window that opens, copy the Chromium folder to the clipboard.
  4. Create a folder named Google if it doesn't already exist, then open it.
  5. If you have a folder named Chrome in there, rename it to Chrome_old.
  6. Paste the clipboard contents.
  7. Rename the Chromium folder to Chrome.
  8. In Firefox, Import Data from Another Browser and choose Chrome.
