Just close this. Six years and a complete Firefox rebuild later I have no way to verify if this still applies.

I export the bookmarks into an HTML file through the firefox dialog and place it in a folder. In Chrome/Chromium I navigate to the bookmark manager and choose "Import from HTML file" in the resulting file dialog the dropdown menu is restricted to "application/x-extension-html". This will not allow me to select any files at all let alone the desired html file. Expected behavior: I should be able to select the html file generated by another piece of software and have the contained bookmarks imported into Chrome/Chromium Actual behavior: Can not select any html file to import at all. Impossible to import bookmarks any way since the import browser data function is broken as well. Steps to reproduce: 1. Export bookmarks to HTML file from another browser 2. Open Bookmarks Manager 3. Select "Import from HTML file" in the Organize menu 4. Can not select html file in the file dialog To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/955011/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
