When it comes to surfing the Internet We always tend to have our preferences regarding the browser what do we use. This means that most of the time we only handle one of the few that we can have installed on the computer.
Perhaps this is your case with the Google Chrome browser, but for multiple reasons, you may find yourself in a situation that makes you want to switch to Mozilla Firefox, perhaps for reasons of speed and RAM.
If you want to modify the browser on your computer, then you must carry out a migration process of all your previous data. In this case, they are the bookmarks, cookies, passwords of your accounts and the searches carried out. To help you with that we have made this article in which we explain this to you below.
Steps to import all bookmarks from Chrome to Mozilla Firefox
Regardless of which browser is better than another, use Chrome or Firefox It has its various advantages.
In the event that we have been using Chrome for a while and for some reason we need to switch to Firefox, the appropriate procedure requires a browser bookmark migration to exist.
The markers are simply the registration of our actions on the Internet, They can be passwords, page and search history, Cookies, among other things.
By migrating them from one browser to another we facilitate our use in the new browser:
- To begin we open the Mozilla Firefox browser and in the upper right corner click on the button “Open menu”.
- Then we press on the option “Catalogue”.
- In the next tab we will choose the first option to exit which is “Markers”.
- Successively at the end of the bar will be the option “Show all bookmarks.”
It should be noted that another way of access this menu quickly and in a single step is pressing the keys “Ctrl+Shift+B.”
- Continuing with the tutorial we will click on the option “Import and backup”, located in the top bar of the window “Catalogue”.
- In the small drop-down tab we are going to choose the last option that is “Import data from…”
- Subsequently, a new tab will appear where we will choose the browser that has the bookmarks that we will migrate, in our case it is “Chrome”. We mark it and click on “Following”.
- Next, the Mozilla Firefox import wizard will make a list of the “Items to import”.
In this small list of files that will be migrated, there are the “Cookies”, that allow you to archive certain settings of the sites you browse to streamline processes.
we also have the “Browsing history”, which include all your Internet searches. In addition to it, there are the passwords saved in the settings and the bookmarks themselves, which are your favorite sites and your preferences.
- When clicking on “Following” the transfer will begin. This may take a few seconds.
- Finally we will click on “To finalize”.
Once this is done we can verify that all our information was shared. If we enter an account in which we had the option to remember password active, we will notice that now in Firefox the same thing happens.
In the same way, when going to the section of “Favorites” either “Markers”, We will notice that now we find the same thing that we had in Google Chrome. At the same time, we will see that our history will be similar to that registered in our previous browser.
Are bookmarks synced to my Google account too?
Google bookmarks are directly tied to the account which is configured as the host of the browser. So these are saved and can be migrated between devices using the same Google Chrome browser.
Unfortunately Chrome and Firefox browser accounts are different, so by entering a Google account in Firefox you will not be able to migrate or backup any information prior to that.
But, if it is recommended that you index your email to any of these, it can be Gmail in Firefox to activate your account “Sync”, which is the browser administrator.
- To do so, we just have to click on the user button in the upper right corner, and then on “Activate Sync”.
- Once you enter there we will have to record the data; email, among other things that we are requested to register in Sync, and synchronize all our information with the account.
Having this account linked, when entering a device other than yours or after a device change, you can simply connect it to the browser and immediately recover all the browsing information, all your history and passwords synchronized in your Mozilla Firefox.
