Unable to import bookmarks from Google Chrome
I've been using Google Chrome forever, but I've had Firefox for a while installed on my computer and used it off and on for other users, etc... I finally had enough of Chrome, so I decided to switch to Firefox, it's not going very well, in fact I'm about to give up on that idea, unless I get some help! Even after I removed/re-installed and wiped the appdata stuff, still what the Mozilla help articles say, DO NOT show up in my browser. Two articles, neither agree w/what I see, or can do. NO such thing as "see all bookmarks", no such thing of Firefox telling me let migrate.... I CANNOT migrate my bookmarks from Google Chrome to Firefox. So, if ANYONE can offer some help, I'd like very much to switch! Thank you in advance for your help. Goodnight & I'll check tomorrow! PS: I even have the xml file of all my bookmarks from Chrome.

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.
