I'm hoping to bring my Chrome favorites over to Firefox and use the easily. When I was using Chrome there was a problem with duplicate favorites and I think I have 3 sets of duplicate favorites. I asked about this online and I was told that by using switching to Firefox and then importing my favorites from Chrome would eliminate the duplicates. When I first brought them over they were put in my bookmark toolbar. I think I did this but what a mess. Is it better to take my Chrome bookmarks into a separate file where I can pick and choose the duplicate bookmarks and then bring them over to Firefox? Of course I don't know how you do that and I'm just not computer savvy. Thank you for your time and any help or advice you can give me. I'm just frustrated so thanks for your help.

Sincerely, Rob

Isisombululo esikhethiwe

Hi Rob, there is at least one add-on to remove duplicate bookmarks, but as you can see from their screenshot, it's not automatic, you need to review all the groups and indicate what you want to keep vs. delete. Could take a while:

https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/bookmark-dupes/

I don't know whether there is a more automated tool to clean it up.

Thank you so very much!!! I'll sure give it a try. I just was on Firefox and it was real slow and then it crashed. First time for me. But the last time I used Firefox about a year ago sometimes it was very, very slow. I'm using Chrome but maybe a switch to DuckDuck will help. I did get the add-on so I'll start work tomorrow. It might be just the thing because I want to go through everything even if it takes a lot of time. So thanks again and I'll mark this as solved and since there is not many ways of doing this I'm very grateful for your help in finding something like this to help me out!
