[Solved] I'd like to switch from chrome, but all of my auto fill, and payment info. (self.firefox)

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!

But they are encrypted.

I think you mean if you don't use a primary password. They're still encrypted then, but since they can be used freely from inside the browser they are indeed not protected from someone copying the profile.
