google chrome help

So I want to start uing Google Chrome instead of Firefox, but the only thing that was putting me off was the thought of me losing my bookmarks (they're impotant for work and uni etc)

So I downloded Chrome and it gave me the option to import them from either IE or Firefox. When I press it, it doesn't work at all.
Nor does me trying to make new folders to manually put them in myself.

Am I doing something wrong?

I don't really know how many bookmarks you have, but if you still have FF installed maybe you could open each bookmark and copy the link, and paste it into the chrome bar, and then go to the site on chrome and bookmark it there? It seems annoying I know, but it seems like the only thing I can tell you to try.

Instead of doing it at the opening prompt, try going to:
Options > Personal Stuff > Browser data > Import data from another browser
and see if that works.

As I've already said, I cannot make a new bookmark folder.

Reinstall the browser. If you cannot even create a bookmarks folder then there's something wrong.

Could also try the bookmark manager in Chrome. Its right in the options menu.

You can't do a cross-browser bookmark import from the Bookmark Manager, ironically enough.

Install chrome then...

On Firefox > Bookmarks > Organize bookmarks > Import and Backup > Export HTML.

On Chrome > Bookmark Manager > Organize > Import bookmarks.

Then download this chrome.google.com/webstore/det…ccjabjjmipbpjkfbijifaainp
