1.) In Chrome, I have a lot of Bookmarks and bookmark Folders in my Chrome "Other Bookmarks" folder. However, I can not figure out how to import the "Other Bookmarks" folder from Chrome. I've tried numerous methods and can't figure it out.

2.) Since moving to Firefox, I've added Bookmarks and don't want to lose them with an overwrite. Is there a way I can import just one folder of Bookmarks from Chrome? Rather than doing a complete overwrite?

These instructions are for Firefox. Other browsers should also be able to do this.

These instructions will combine the new bookmarks with the old.

Open the Bookmarks Manager; Press the Alt or F10 key to bring up the toolbar, and select Bookmarks. Hot key is <Control> (Mac=<Command>) <Shift> B.

Once the window is open, at the top of the page, press the button labeled Import and Backup. Select Export Bookmarks To HTML, and follow the prompts and save it to a HTML file. Copy the file to another computer/profile. Repeat the instructions above, BUT select Import Bookmarks From HTML.
