Last modified by Christine Sklareski on 2026/02/18 15:01

Prior to the retirement of the Firefox browser due to security concerns, you should export your bookmarks and move them to the Chrome browser. Follow the instructions below to move your Firebox bookmarks to Chrome.

Export from Firefox:

  1. Click Bookmarks and then click the Manage bookmarks bar at the bottom.
  2. In the toolbar of the Library window click the import-export-arrows Import and Backup button

    and choose Export Bookmarks to HTML… from the drop-down menu.
  3. In the Export Bookmarks File window that opens, choose a location to save the file, which is named bookmarks.html by default. The desktop is usually a good spot, but any place that is easy to remember will work.
  4. Click Save. The Export Bookmarks File window will close.
  5. Close the Library window.

Your bookmarks are now successfully exported from Firefox. The bookmarks HTML file you saved is now ready to be imported into another web browser or a new device.

Import to Chrome:

  1. Open Chrome and click on the three-dot menu icon in the top right corner of the window. Select "Bookmarks" > "Import Bookmarks and Settings".

  2. In the "Import bookmarks and settings" window, click on the drop-down menu next to "From" and select "Bookmarks HTML File". Then, click on "Choose File".

Navigate to the HTML file that you saved in step 1. Select the file and click "Open".

Make sure that "Favorites/Bookmarks" is selected, and then click "Import". Your Firefox bookmarks should now be imported into Chrome.

  • To find your imported bookmarks, click on Bookmarks > Manage Bookmarks and search for "Imported bookmarks".
