Issue 3109: Importing Firefox bookmarks fails b/c of old FF registry keys http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=3109
Comment #4 by [EMAIL PROTECTED]: The issue in the thread is: "Same problem here. I just installed Chrome a few minutes ago. The instructions for importing bookmarks say to choose between IE and Firefox, but Firefox is not an available choice in the drop-down box. " One user reports a workaround: "The problem is that Firefox stopped upgrading the version key in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Mozilla\Mozilla Firefox To fix it I simply copied the version string from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Software\Mozilla\Mozilla Firefox (for me it was "3.0.1 (en-US)" ) and replaced the contents of the CurrentVersion key with that. Then in the Default key under the same registry branch I added 1.9.0.1 In the end you should have the two keys in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software \Mozilla\Mozilla Firefox if you have 3.0.1: (Default) - REG_SZ - 1.9.0.1 CurrentVersion - REG_SZ - 3.0.1 (en-US) Restart Chrome and import happy.
