Export Passwords and Bookmarks from Chrome to Firefox

The Bookmark part is easy:

Method 1:

Import directly from Firefox's Bookmark Manager.

Method 2:

Export bookmark to .html file from Chrome's Bookmark Manager

Then import the .html file in Firefox's Bookmark Manager.


The Password part is hard, I don't know.


For exporting/import passwords, if you are running Linux this Python script will provide a solution:

I know this would be a complete pain but I'll suggest it.

I'd recommend Lastpass(firefox) for distributing bookmarks. While you can't import existing bookmarks (I've never come across something like that) you can share it across multiple computers/platforms/devices.

If you have forgotten what your password is for a website, you can easily find out via Chrome Password storing thing.

You can find it by Clicking the little Spanner > Options > Personal Stuff > Manage Passwords.

Just browse normally, you'll eventually add all that you actually need.

For the Export, get a html from Chrome using:

  1. Ctrl + Shift + O
  2. Organize (click)
  3. Export bookmarks HTML

For the Import:

  1. Ctrl + Shift + B
  2. Import Export (at the top)
  3. Browse for your saved bookmarks.html

Out of curiosity, I'd like to know why you're moving to Firefox. I just moved from Firefox to Chrome for a test run :P
