Do you want to change web browsers without starting from scratch? For this, it is better to recover all your favorites. A very simple operation with Firefox, whether exporting or importing bookmarks.
You have a nice collection of websites that you visit regularly, saved in your browser's favorites list. Alas, the functions offered by the latter no longer appeal to you and you would like to try another Web browser without however parting with your precious directory of sites built up over time. Like all web browsers, Firefox allows you to save this list in order to export it and then retrieve it in another browser such as Chrome, Edge or Safari. The reverse operation is obviously still possible in order to import bookmarks from these same browsers into Firefox. To achieve this, no complex manipulation is necessary. This famous list takes place within a file in HTML format that all browsers know how to interpret. All you have to do is generate this file and import it into the browser of your choice to retrieve its content. Here's how to do it with Firefox.
