1. I have never seen so bad settings in a browser in my life. I want to go back to Google Chrome with every second I spend on this browser, but unfortunately Chrome eats too much RAM. 2. HOW IN THE EARTH DO YOU CHANGE THE DEFAULT LANGUAGE?

I am Romanian in UNITED KINGDOM and when I install Firefox IT'S AUTOMATICALLY IN ROMANIAN.

HOW? HOW DO YOU KNOW?!

I want to make it in English!

3. Where's that button to import bookmarks from google chrome?!

To import bookmarks,

  1. Click the Bookmarks button on the toolbar or press Ctrl+Shift+B (Mac: Command+Shift+B).
  2. Click the Import and Backup button.
  3. Choose "Import Data from Another Browser" or "Import Bookmarks from HTML" if you previously exported the bookmarks from the other browser.

Hello,

Firefox automatically creates backups of your bookmarks, which can be helpful if your bookmarks are lost or missing. To recover them, follow the instructions below.

  1. Use one of these methods to open the Bookmarks Library window:
    • Firefox 29 and above: Click the Bookmarks button Bookmarks-29 and select Show All Bookmarks.
    • Previous Firefox versions: Click the Firefox button and click on Bookmarks. (If you don't have a Firefox button, click the Bookmarks button Bookmarks button win 2 or Bookmarks menu item and select Show All Bookmarks.)
  2. At the top of the Library window, click on Import and Backup and select Restore.
  3. Click the date of the bookmark backup you want to recover.
  4. In the new window that appears, click OK.
  5. Your bookmarks from the selected date should now be restored.

For more information, see the Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer article. For other solutions, see the Recover lost or missing Bookmarks article.

These add-ons can be a great help by backing up and restoring Firefox

FEBE (Firefox Environment Backup Extension) {web link} FEBE allows you to quickly and easily backup your Firefox extensions, history, passwords, and more. In fact, it goes beyond just backing up -- It will actually rebuild your saved files individually into installable .xpi files. It will also make backup of files that you choose.
