Is there a simple app that can transfer everything easily? Like my favorites, browsing history and everything, including autofill setting and whatnot? I really just don’t want to redo everything and essentially start fresh.

Edit*

Thank you everyone! I’ve used chrome for so long and the last time I tried fire fox over 13 years ago it didn’t auto transfer anything, so I had no idea. And I will look into a 3rd party for password storage.

I’m not super savy with some things, so I don’t really know what you mean by “self hosting” but I guess I’ll look into that too.

Again thanks! Looks like I will make the switch!

    Firefox’s saved passwords are not encrypted and just copying your user profile to another computer will allow someone else to use your credentials.

    If you use Chrome, do you really want Google knowing your logins?

      But they are encrypted.

      I think you mean if you don’t use a primary password. They’re still encrypted then, but since they can be used freely from inside the browser they are indeed not protected from someone copying the profile.

        But by default it’s not encrypted and nobody ever changes the default settings
