In more recent versions of Google Chrome for Windows, the option is similar to the Mac option…

* click on the spanner (top right)
* click Options
* select the Personal Stuff tab
* click Import data from another browser…

Fantastic!!

Yes, you can. Go to Chrome > Preferences > Personal Stuff > Import data from another browser

I have Vista 64 Home Premium SP1, FF3 (upgraded from FF2) on my desktop and I do get the FF option with the Chrome install. When selected, it starts the import, freezes and NEVER RECOVERS. Using a Google search, I have found many users with the same issue but no one has provided a solution.

I checked under C:\Documents and Settings\Philipp\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles and only one profile folder appears. Funny thing is that inside of it there is a folder called chrome, but it’s dated 2005.

there is a way you export your bookmarks to .adr or .htm file (in firefox or opera) and then import them to ie7. that way you can then easily import bookmarks from ie7 to chrome.

The issue lies with multiple Firefox Profiles. you’ll have to clear or delete older profiles.

I have XP SP2, FF3 (upgraded from FF2) on my desktop and do not get the FF option with the Chrome install. On my laptop, I have XP SP2, FF3 (clean install) and it detected it just fine. I have not yet been able to figure out why it works on one and not on the other.
