Just downloaded and installed this to try it out but I can't get it to import my FF bookmarks for some reason.  :(
That's odd Ray. I've installed it on three machines now and it has offered to and imported bookmarks from FF V3.6.12

If you click the little spanner at the top right there is a pull down option for the 'bookmark manager'. If you open that, then under 'organize' on the left hand side there is a option to import bookmarks. See what happens if you browse to your FF profile directory and select the file 'places.sqlite'.

When you back up your bookmarks in Firefox, try and save them as html files (save them on the desktop, easy to navigate to), a opposed to json files. Then when you import from Chrome, point to the html firefox file. :thumb:

Thanks, Mick, that's the way I've just done it by exporting my FF bookmarks as an html file and them importing into Chromeplus. :thumb:

Excellent Ray.

Chromeplus doesn't have all the bells and whistles as FF but it loads very quickly and is great on netbooks or older computers. It even has an adblock of sorts.

And especially, unlike Google Chrome, is doesn't call home to pass back your browsing habits  :thumb:

Good luck.
