How do I replace my current bookmarks on my bookmarks bar with the bookmarks from the "From Google Chrome" Folder?
I was using Firefox for a while and imported my bookmarks from Chrome to Firefox, but then I stopped using Firefox, and went back to Chrome, but now I am back using Firefox and the bookmarks that I had from before are old and most of them I don't use anymore, so i imported the new bookmarks from chrome. So how do i replace the old bookmarks with the new bookmarks from the "From Google Chrome" folder? I want them to display on the bookmarks bar.

Okay well I figured it out by doing some research. First I deleted all of the old bookmarks on the bar by holding ctrl+shift+B to get to the Library window then I went to the Bookmarks Toobar menu on the left side of the window then I went to the first bookmark on the list and held down shift+end which selected all the bookmarks, then pressed delete. That deleted all my old bookmarks at once. Then I went into my "From Google Chrome" folder and once again pressed Shift+End to select them all and dragged them to the Bookmarks Toolbar option on the left side of the window, and that moved all of the bookmarks to the bookmarks bar. It worked but it was pretty complicated, Firefox has to make it easier to do this in the future.

The best option would probably be to move them one by one.
That's way too much work, I have about 150 bookmarks, so I am definitely not gong to be moving them one-by-one. Plus I would have to delete all my old bookmarks one-by-one first, which is probably another 100-150 bookmarks.
