Transfer bookmarks from Chrome to Firefox

I have currently got Google Chrome and Firefox installed, but I want to switch to Firefox so I want to some how transfer my mass collections of bookmarks from Chrome to Firefox, so is there any way of doing this?

Perhaps if I export all my Google Chrome bookmarks into an HTML file, can I import them into Firefox then? Or is there any quick and efficient way of sort of manually transferring the bookmarks through the editing of Firefox files? Or any way at all of doing it? And is there any way of doing this without installing a third-party add-on?

Solution 2:

Firefox has new functionality built into it in newer versions. I'm currently on Firefox ESR 52.5.2 (64-bit). To achieve the import of bookmarks from Chrome to Firefox, do the following:

Import Bookmarks from Chrome to Firefox

1. Open the Firefox menu in the top right-hand corner.

2. Click on your Bookmarks icon.

   Sometimes the Bookmark icon is not there. If not, click "Customize" at the bottom of the Firefox menu and add it.

3. Click "Show all bookmarks" at the bottom of the list (Ctrl + Shift + O). This will open your bookmarks library.

4. In your bookmarks library window, there is an "Import and Backup" drop-down menu. Click this.
5. At the bottom of the drop-down menu, it will say "Import Data from Another Browser." Click this.
6. Select the browser you want to import from, and click "Next."
7. It will ask you what information you would like to import. (Cookies, Browsing History, Bookmarks)
8. Select the relevant items, and then click "Next."
9. It will begin the import process.
10. Once completed, click "Finish."

All of your Chrome bookmarks should now be in Firefox.
