Chromium and Canary browsers are also supported
The Nightly and Developer Editions of Firefox can now allow users to import their Edge bookmarks, as Techdows reports.

Launched with much fanfare, Microsoft's new Edge browser, even if highly innovative when compared to Internet Explorer, is just not making the cut when it comes to real-life usage scenarios.

Despite being the fastest browser on Windows 10, Edge has a tendency to freeze, a very small feature set, and no support for add-ons.

Even if I'm writing this article inside an Edge browser, the fact remains that for any set of operations that require a little more complex interaction from users, opening a large deal of tabs, and having to work for long large periods of time, Edge will sabotage you at one point or the other.

If you've seen some of these small inconsistencies yourself, and you want to move back to Firefox, their developers have added a small feature that will help you move your eggs back into their basket again.

If in the meantime, while using Edge, you've created new bookmarks that you don't want to lose, the latest Nightly and Developer Editions for Firefox have added support for importing bookmarks from other browsers outside IE and Chrome.

Besides Microsoft Edge, this features supports other browsers as well, like Chromium and Canary.

To pull bookmarks from any of these browsers, just follow the regular process of importing bookmarks from another browser into Firefox. Go to the menu and open: Bookmarks -> Show All Bookmarks -> Import and Backup -> Import Data from Another Browser.
