Chrome Export Bookmarks HTML missing folders - google-chrome

When i initiate the export bookmarks from bookmarks manager as an HTML file and save it, it works fine.
But,
When i import the HTML file in Firefox, i am missing folders from the chrome bookmarks which were included in the html file, (verified the list of bookmarks in NotePad++) but did not show up in the list of bookmarks in FireFox.
So basically the HTML file includes 12 folders, only 4 folders are showing in FireFox.
Why? what is missing?

Save excel file containing links as html, and these links open in file explorer, not web browser

I have an excel sheet with links to local folders. To make it more device "friendly" I save it as html. All is fine, but the links open on the web browser, not windows file explorer.
I know that html does not open aps, but I do not know if opening a local folder with windows file explorer is considered an app, or I miss something.
Excel: =hyperlink("c:\testfolder")
Of course another suggestion on the matter is welcome...
add file:// to the link
=hyperlink("file://c:\testfolder")

Maybe the version of chrome that you use don't support what you're doing but its just my random guess , you can try to use live server of some IDE like VScode and see if the problem persist.

Short-cut for moz-extension:// and chrome-extension://

background-image:url(chrome-extension://__MSG_##extension_id__/image.png);
For an extension that works for Firefox and Chrome, I just need to refer to a single image file in a CSS file.
chrome-extension:// works only for Chrome
moz-extension:// works only for Firefox
So I am stuck to create 2 separate CSS files just for single line of code.
Is there any short-cut for both of protocols?
Relative paths does not work for Chrome. Rather than searching in the root directory of the extension, Chrome searches the image file in web site root directory.

Auto-open HTML file from Chrome to another browser

On downloading a file in Chrome, there does not seem to be a way to auto-open HTML files to a browser other than Chrome.
Opening the HTML file from the Downloads folder opens the file in the default browser, as intended. However, when Chrome auto-opens the downloaded file, it just opens in Chrome.
Why I'm asking: I built a Chrome extension that generates an HTML file based on user-selected text in a given webpage. The resulting HTML file, when opened, redirects to another website, to a page that is based on the user's selection. That page does not work properly in Chrome, and it won't for the next 6 months. In the meantime, I learned to program a Chrome extension and I have been blocked on this auto-open problem for 2 weeks.

How to read Google Chrome bookmarks externally?

Did not love much for XMarks as it copied and duplicated the bookmarks.
The Chrome's own feature of synchronizing the bookmarks over multiple devices is good.
Is there a way to extract the links I have bookmarked so far in Chrom browser with the Categories that I have created and classified for my bookmarks?
Does any API exist to read those Google Chrome's bookmarks directly from their server?
Do you want the raw links or the bookmarks transfered to another browser. If you want the bookmarks for another browser, use the import option on that particular browser. IE and FF gives you the option on first run to import 'local' bookmarks from another browser. As for the raw links, you may have to look into your 'ApplicationData' folder of chrome, not exactly sure which folder... try: C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default
