I wanted to export histories/passwords from firefox to chrome.
I can't find a way to export my history and passwords. Will switch to chrome, any ideas how to export them? I can only export bookmarks :(

Yes, Firefox only has a Bookmarks Export feature to do that manually, as a user option. Passwords and browsing history has no such option; my guess is the volume of saved browsing history is quite large, and how logins data for passwords is saved, plus the potential for logins data to be too easily stolen, which might be why those aren't available via an "export" function.
Upon installation of Google Chrome last year I was offered an import function from some other web browsers I have installed, which included Firefox. I don't know that type of data that included because I denied that option, but I am sure Bookmarks was offered but not sure if that would have included browsing history & passwords, or not.
I just looked at my Chrome installation and can't find a way to import from other web browsers after that initial offer; although Firefox is capable of doing that "after the initial installation offer is declined". It may that I am just not finding that option now. Maybe a Chrome support forum would have an answer for you.
