Import history from chrome

I've tried to follow the instructions given in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/import-bookmarks-google-chrome?esab=a&as=aaq
Firefox says that it imported cookies, bookmarks and history.
I can see the bookmarks.
When I try writing a URL I've visited, it is not filled in the location bar.
I've looked through the history, and I do not see any of the webpages I would only visit using Chrome - I've tried to keep a distinction between work browser and play browser, so these are quite typical. They are also important as history, if I am going to switch to FireFox being my work browser.

I have also tried importing Chrome history in a completely new and blank profile, but with no success.

Problem after importing bookmarks from chrome

My Mac is in German because I live in Berlin. This means that here I have to translate the messages from Safari into English, but it's fairly straightforward. My German is at native speaker level.
Problem is...
When I tried to import the bookmarks and history from Chrome, the progam hung up and I had to "immediately end" it. Then I tried again, this time only importing the bookmarks. It worked, but the result is that, although I have my bookmarks, Safari is not allowing me to delete or modify anything. Each time I try it gives me the message that I "have to accept or delete" the data that I've received from Chrome in order to proceed. But, whether I click on "accept" or "delete", nothing happens. In other words, the data is neither "accepted" nor "deleted", and I can't do any deleting or modifying of bookmarks without bringing up this same message, over and over.
So I can neither go back to the previous state by "clearing" Safari, reversing the process, nor can I go forward. All the bookmarks are as it were "frozen" in the positions that they had when I first imported them, and there is seemingly nothing I can do about it.
I would love to be able to delete Safari and download it again, but this doesn't seem to be possible. I also don't even know if this would alter the settings.

I think in this case you need a addon:

How to import cache from Chrome into Mozilla FireFox?

How to import cache from Chrome into Mozilla FireFox?

Not something that anyone usually attempts. If you use Firefox it builds up its own cache. I am not even sure Chrome uses the sametypeof cache files. Are there particular problems you are trying to solve ?

How can I import history from old computer

I have just bought a new computer and want to have the tab history from my old computer. How do I do this?

Yes, that location is not the Firefox profile folder, but the location of the template folder with the files to create a new new profile.
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
* "Application Data" in XP/Win2K and "AppData" in Vista/Windows 7 are hidden folders.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders
Go to: Control Panel > Folder Options > "View" tab > under "Hidden files and folders", select "Show hidden files and folders" 
To see the file extensions of all files uncheck the box "Hide extensions for known file types"
* XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\
* Vista/Windows 7: C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\

Import bookmarks from chrome to iPad 2?

is there a way to do this? I've got IE, but now need chrome. Thanks

I found this here: http://www.ehow.com/how_7403995_import-bookmarks-windows-ipad.html
1. You have to disable bookmark on your ipad under "settings/mail, contacts, calendar/icloud" then on itunes under info tab, now you can select bookmark and select the browser you would sync with.
2. Open iTunes on your Windows computer.
3. Connect the iPad to the PC.
4. Select the iPad from the "Devices" section of iTunes.
5. Click the "Info" tab.
6. Scroll down the page to the "Advanced" section. Click to place a check mark in the box next to "Bookmarks."
7. Click the "Apply" button.
Just tried it myself, worked perfectly.

New IPhone 4s imported history from computer

My son just got an IPhone 4s Friday. He conected it to Itunes though my computer. Today he found that it had imported all my favorites and bookmarks from my computer! How does he get that out of his phone? Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi annielaurie,
I can help with your son's iPhone 4S. Your information is on his phone since the iTunes account is in your name. He would have to follow these steps:
-Sign out of your Apple ID http://support.apple.com/kb/PH1640
-Create his own Apple ID http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2731
-Back up his phone data to the PC, so he does not lose anything.
-Restore the iPhone http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414 This will remove your information from the phone.
-Sign in to his own iTunes account
-Sync the iPhone with his iTunes account
I hope this information is helpful for you and your son. Have a good day!

Is there any way to organize bookmarks into folders? Is there a way to import bookmarks from another (default) browser (besides the native browser or Chrome) ?

I have quite a few bookmarks in my current default browser (CM Browser) and don't relish the thought of manually recreating them all. I also want to keep them organized by categories. The folder system is very helpful.

The permission model for Android does not allow other apps access to their settings. Chrome and the Android stock browser have some special access rules that allow other apps to see the bookmarks. So it is only possible to import bookmarks from Chrome or the stock Android browser.
Bookmark management can be done in desktop Firefox via Firefox Sync. See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-set-up-firefox-sync

Transferred bookmarks from Chrome not showing on bookmarks toobar - only on nested drop down menu. How can I get them on the toolbar?

Was using Chrome - now using Firefox 8.0.1
I copied and imported bookmarks from Chrome, but they only show up on the 2nd tier drop-down "Bookmarks" tab. How can I get them to show up on the Book marks Toolbar (without re-bookmarking them all)? Thank you.

Re-arrange those bookmarks so they are in the Bookmarks Toolbar folder.

Problem importing browsing history from Safari & Chrome

I used the ‘import data from another browser’ to import my browsing history from Safari & Chrome, but only some (and not all of it) showed up. Any tips would be welcome. Thank you!

Maybe you have been modifying your Firefox History, & or are modifying the files you are trying to import.

Chrome missing in Import data from another browser

I use both chrome and firefox portable from site portableapps because mozilla doesn´t have a portable version.
My dilemma today is this:
I always had on firefox on menu "import and backup" > > "import data from another browser" listing chrome like this
https://support.mozilla.org/media/uploads/gallery/images/2012-02-24-10-35-53-97ff60.png
today i want to import chrome bookmarks to firefox but chrome is missing on the list, in the past i always had it there listed now is just pointing to IE
Do i need chrome installed on machine to grab something from registry?
By what i can remember always had that option on portable versions, i am importating this with a fresh pc machine because i installed now windows where i previously wiped the disk from manufacturer erasing tool.
i digged the net and on questions here but cant find why its missing, can you guys tell me why?
P.S- i would like to say that this site, Mozilla and Mozilla support, forums and community are the best service i´ve seen in years over the whole web i believe its really the best one and am not writing this because of this question, only thing missing is having Mozilla apps portable, a online chat would be cool too for the community
Oh god i hope today the "fox" saves me cause i can´t find solution on this
You guys take it easy.....

Do you mean the portable version of Google Chrome as well?
*http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/google_chrome_portable
Which that version you probably need to export the bookmarks to an HTML file and import that file in Firefox.
You can open the Bookmarks Manager in Google Chrome (wrench icon > Bookmarks > Bookmarks Manager) and select "Tools > Export Bookmarks" 
This will export the Chrome bookmarks to a file bookmarks.html. 
You can import that file in Firefox: Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import HTML : "From File"

I accidentally downloaded my bookmarks from chrome but now firefox wont let me log off of my twitter account, how do i fix it??

i just downloaded firefox and it wont let me log off my twitter. i did the 'automatically download bookmarks from chrome' option but i deleted them afterwards. tumblr and twitter were the only sites that already had me signed in when i visited them but tumblr let me sign out. everytime i try to log out of twitter it takes me to the usual screen they show when you log out (a promotion for the twitter app for mobile phones) but the little button at the top that tells you to sign in isnt there, instead it has the button for you to write a new tweet and it keeps my twitters background. since i just downloaded it i dont have any extensions or add ons and my cache is empty so i honestly dont know what to do. i tried troubleshooting but it didnt work and im not really good with coding, like once you tell me what to do i can do it, but i cant do it on my own, so i dont know if the file was like corrupted when i downloaded it or something...

Click the Orange Firefox button in the upper left hand corner, then hover over the arrow to the right of "History". Go to "Clear Recent History", and clear the following:
Time Range: Everything
Under Details check the following:
Cache
Cookies
Active Logins
Offline Website Data
Uncheck everything else. Click "Clear Now", then restart Firefox.
