I successfully imported favorites/bookmarks from Google Chrome to Fire Fox. They are now in a folder on the bookmarks toolbar called "From Google Chrome". Is there an easy way (Other than taking them out individually) in one action/command to pull them all out so that the imported bookmarks show individually on the bookmarks toolbar vs. being contained within the folder on the bookmarks tool bar. I see instructions for putting bookmarks in a folder, but not to take them out of the folder.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much,

To do it with a single select-drag-drop motion, you can use the Library window. Either:

  • "Show All Bookmarks"
  • Ctrl+Shift+b

(1) In the left pane, expand the folder "tree" as needed, then click on the Imported Bookmarks or Imported from Chrome folder. All of its contents should appear in the pane on the right.

(2) Click in the right pane and select all -- Ctrl+a or Organize menu > Select All.

(3) Then drag and drop the selected bookmarks to the correct destination on the folder tree in the left pane.

Success?
