Can I combine bookmarks? Part: 1

A reader wants to know if she can combine and alphabetize her bookmarks from Firefox and Chrome.

“I have bookmarks alphabetized on Firefox and a non-alphabetized list on
Google Chrome.  Is there any way to combine the two in alphabetical order?”

When the Bookmarks menu opens, choose Import Bookmarks.

This window will open. Click the drop-down arrow. Select the browser you wish to import from. In this case, Firefox.
