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!

I highly recommend switching to a 3rd party app for passwords, payment info, etc. I know Bitwarden is a trusted app with a free tier that can import from chrome.

It’s more secure than chrome or Firefox “vaults” and it’s backed up online and synced between devices automatically. It also doesn’t tie you to one browser. There are apps for iOS, android, windows, macOS, and Linux plus plugins for all major browsers.

This is the correct answer. The bitwarden extension is pretty good too at autofill on a page and the ability to self host is really important. I don't know how I lived without it at this point.
