    Anyone have a workaround to import Firefox info into Edge Chromium?


    According to Microsoft, this has been something they've been working on for at least 5 months with no end in sight. I guess capturing Firefox users isn't important.

    Anyway, in Edge Beta and now the official version, if you try to import from Firefox, you get an erroneous message saying to close all Firefox windows and try again, even when Firefox has never run since boot and there are no Firefox or Mozilla processes running.

    Hopefully, now with the official version out, someone has figured out how to either manually move Firefox, data into Edge or prevent the bug in Edge from thinking Firefox is running when it isn't.

    I also see official Edge did NOT automatically import from Edge Beta and does not have an option to import from Edge Beta, I guess Beta users are in the same boat as Firefox users.

    So typical of the current Microsoft.

    :)

    importing firefox bookmarks to edge

    The only browser that shows up in Edge to import bookmarks from is Internet Explorer. I also have Firefox and Chrome installed but neither shows on the import list. Anxious to try Edge but will continue using Firefox until I can import bookmarks.

    importing firefox bookmarks to edge

    My workaround for this was to import the bookmarks to Internet Explorer (from Firefox) then to import them to Edge. It worked.

    importing firefox bookmarks to edge

    Firefox is not listed in the browsers to import bookmarks from. How can I import bookmarks from Firefox? I have quite a few and if I cannot import to Edge, I will just stick with Firefox
