I highly recommend switching to a 3rd party app for passwords, payment info, etc. I know Bitwarden is a trusted app with a free tier that can import from chrome.
It’s more secure than chrome or Firefox “vaults” and it’s backed up online and synced between devices automatically. It also doesn’t tie you to one browser. There are apps for iOS, android, windows, macOS, and Linux plus plugins for all major browsers.
I mean, out the gate Firefox will import a huge chunk of that. Like, literally everything you listed.
You should install it and try.
That said, I will echo others that getting setup with something like KeePass is worthwhile. You set it up, add a browser extension to connect to it l, and now the passwords are REALLY secure and not limited to your browser and much more complex functions are available to you if you want to nerd out.
I'm prettey sure Firefox can do that, and like others said: it is better to use a password manager like Bitwarden (you can also selfhost it) instead of Firefox's built in one.
C:/users/user/appdata/local/Google/Chrome/User Data/Default - Web Data file. Copy and paste it to the same directory of your new browser and the autofill data will get transferred. please use a password manager for passwords. I suggest Bitwarden.
Favorites are migrated by the welcome wizard.
Password and credit cards you should migrate them to bitwarden free as it's more secure and cross platform
Auto fill on Firefox works much much better than chromium browsers (that I had to keep it disabled because it always messed up shipping addresses)
As said previously, strongly strongly recommend not using browsers to store passwords and paiement cards. Bitwarden and keepass are well known good options, but if you trust Proton you should try their new password manager Proton Pass which has a free tier (not affiliated to them) For the moment I still have an active license on 1password so haven't switched over yet
Bitwarden
In the current era when you install a new web browser it will ask you which old browser you want to import your data from. It will also allow you to create an account with the browser company to keep it synched. You can swap browsers daily if you like. It's relatively quick to do.
All browsers gives you the option to import the information from your old browser nowadays, including Firefox (even Edge does it). It has long since become an industry standard.
When i switched to edge I was able to import all that information over. Whatever you switch to will also likely have that feature
Me and my family use 1Password for password management. I would stay as far away from LastPass as you can they have an AWFUL track record of keeping your information safe and secure.
What doesn't get imported by Firefox automatically can be downloaded from your google account directly. Every single bit of data they have on you.
