How to Import Bookmarks into Firefox

Follow these steps in order to import your bookmarks into Firefox.

  1. Open "Bookmarks β†’ Manage Bookmarks"

    Click "Bookmarks" from the Firefox menu (≑), then choose "Manage Bookmarks."

  2. Click "Import and Backup"

    Click the "Import and Backup" button at the top of the Bookmark Manager window.

  3. Choose "Import Data from Another Browser"

    Choose whether to import from another browser, like Chrome, or from an HTML file.

  4. Select the browser and finish importing

    Select the browser you want from the list and follow the prompts, and your bookmarks are copied over into Firefox.

Bring years of saved bookmarks over in one step

Instead of manually re-adding every bookmark you have collected over the years in another browser, Firefox's import tool brings them all over in a single pass when you switch.

Clean up duplicates after importing

If you already had some bookmarks saved in Firefox before importing, the process can occasionally create duplicate entries, so it is worth reviewing your bookmark folders afterward and merging or removing any repeats.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will importing bookmarks also bring over my saved passwords or history?

The import tool can bring over other data types like passwords and history too, but you choose exactly which categories to include during the import steps, so nothing is copied automatically unless you select it.

Can I import bookmarks from a file instead of directly from another browser?

Yes, if you previously exported bookmarks to an HTML file, you can choose "Import Bookmarks from HTML" instead and select that file directly.
