How to Import Firefox Passwords in Google Chrome

When switching Web browsers, it is convenient if you can move your saved passwords and data to the new browser. This is possible when you make the switch from Mozilla Firefox to Google Chrome. The Chrome browser handles everything, so there is no need to launch Firefox. Google can also import data from other browsers and browser toolbars, including Microsoft Internet Explorer and the Google Toolbar.

Instructions

1. Double-click the icon for Google Chrome to open the browser.

2. Click the "Wrench" icon on the upper right of the browser window. Select the "Options" or "Preferences" option from the sub-menu.

3. Go to the "Personal Stuff" section and click the "Import data from another browser" button.

4. Select "Mozilla Firefox" from the drop-down menu and check the box for "Saved passwords." You can also select the boxes for "Browsing history," "Favorite/Bookmarks," and "Search engines" to import all data from your Firefox usage.

5. Click the "Import" button to complete the process. The import takes only a few seconds on most computers.
