As mentioned earlier, there are multiple ways to export Firefox bookmarks to Chrome. In this section, we will explore three of those methods. All three methods have been tried and tested. So, let's get started with the first one.

Solution 1: Sync Bookmarks Within the Browser

Something else you can do is sync your Firefox bookmarks to your Google account. You can then import them into Chrome by syncing them. Here's how to do that:

Step 1: Click the Firefox drop-down menu.

Step 2.  Click on Firefox Accounts, sign in with your Gmail account, and then click on Firefox Accounts settings again.

Step 3: Click Sync Now, and wait for the sync to finish.

Now, repeat this process in Google Chrome, using the same Gmail account. Here's how:

Step 1: Open Chrome, log in to your Gmail account, and click on your profile picture (A). Then, click Start Sync (B).

Step 2: Wait for the sync to complete. Once it's done, you should see your bookmarks in your browser.

Solution 2: Import Bookmarks from Firefox to Chrome

In this method, we'll use Chrome's built-in import feature to grab bookmarks from another browser. This way, we can get the bookmarks directly from Firefox without having to open it or adjust any settings. Here's how:

Step 1. Open the menu in the corner (A), go to Bookmarks (B), and then click Import bookmarks and settings (C).

Step 2: In the Import Bookmarks and Settings dialog, select Mozilla Firefox.

Step 3: Check the Favorites/Bookmarks option

Step 4: Click Import, and wait for it to finish – this could take a few minutes. But once it's done, your bookmarks will be in Chrome.

Solution 3: Export/Import Firefox Bookmarks as HTML

In this section, we'll export the bookmarks from Chrome as an HTML file and then import them back into Chrome. This method is just as simple and doesn't require you to sign in or register. Let's get started. It works similarly to backing up Firefox bookmarks and restoring them in Chrome.

Step 1. Open Firefox and access the Bookmarks Manager/Library. In the top area, look for and click on the Import and Backup option.

Step 2: Click Export Bookmarks to HTML.

Step 3: Choose your desktop or any other location where you want to save the HTML file, and wait for it to finish.

Now, you'll repeat the same process in Chrome, importing those exported bookmarks. Here's how:

Steps: Open the Chrome browser and navigate to the settings page.

Step 1. Go to Bookmarks, and then click Import bookmarks and settings.

Step 2: Under "Import Bookmarks and Settings", select "Bookmarks HTML file".

Step 3: Click on Choose File, browse and select the bookmarks file you exported.

This may take about a minute, and then your imported bookmarks should appear in your Bookmarks settings.
