I would like to switch from Firefox to Chromium (it seems to be faster for my system) and I have a large number of bookmarks I would like to import into Chromium. I looked at this question: Can I sync bookmarks between Firefox and Chromium? but that seemed to be specific to Firefox Sync, which I don't have. I just want to import my bookmarks from Firefox into Chromium.

However, when I go to the Customize and Control button and then choose the option Import Bookmarks and Settings under the Bookmarks menu item, it gives me this:

No supported browser found

I have Firefox and Chromium as up to date as the official repositories (I believe), so I really have no clue what is going on.

I have attempted to import directly from HTML, but it only imports the first set of bookmarks, nothing beyond that (where all of the bookmarks I really want are.)

Can I import the JSON Firefox backup file into Chromium, or am I stuck manually entering all of these bookmarks into Chromium?

Thanks!

EDIT: 10/30/2013 I'm going to attempt sudo apt-get upgrade to see if this does anything.

EDIT: Later in 10/30/2013 Nope. It only upgrade LightDM:

The following packages will be upgraded:
liblightdm-gobject-1-0
lightdm 2 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded

EDIT: 10/31/2013 Turns out I mis-read the Ubuntu PPA. 13.04, Raring Ringtail, only has 28.0. Apparently I am to be forced to upgrade if I want software upgrades. Botheration.

I guess I will do so when I can, but does anyone know if I can force an upgrade of only certain software (Chromium for example.)

I just updated Ubuntu (not upgraded, I still have 13.04) and Chromium updated to 30.0.1599.114 (Developer Build 30.0.1599.114-0ubuntu0.13.04.2) Ubuntu 13.04 and I can now import from Firefox!

Thanks to @ChrisCarter for attempting to help me solve my issue, update did it!
