ok for the heck of it i installed firefox on one of my laptops. just to see how it works. but one thing i really do not want to do is reset all of my passwords. at this time they are all different and i let the site pick them. now going over to firefox it seems chromes passwords are not following. i had to jump thru hoops just to get my yahoo email back and now to jump again for ebay. back and forth with chrome and firefox just to get the passwords is not going to be a fun job. when i installed firefox it came up with a way to do that but of course that did not work as i figured. it told me to go to chrome settings and downloads but in that i did not find any file marked for firefox. so in the downloads folder what might i look for to get my google passwords? or is there a trick i have to do. if i can get it going and i do not have to go thru hoops to get to all the sites i frequent i may go back to firefox.

ok i put fire fox on this pc for testing. i did finally get google paswords over to firefox. was not hard but the instructions were a bit lacking. they did not say i had to dig deeper in the password section. they made that sound like it happened automatically. anyway i will try it again on this pc and if the popups seem to stay away with ublock origin and ghostery running i may do my other pc and the wifes and my sister and my brothers pc's


now to see if i can get the google calendar to cross over. thanks

i got it. used a tab and pinned it that should work good.

i put firefox on one pc to test for now. so far i do not see any ebay popups but tororrow is another day. i did finally get my passwords over to FF and in a few days they will prove out. if it seems to be better with the ad's all or mostly gone then i will reset my other pc to FF and maybe redo the wifes. and then move my sister and brother over after a month or so of testing. thanks. i did also manage to pin chromes calendar so i did not lose my dates yet.
