    you have export option to save bookmarks as html file.
    then import bookmarks in firefox and select that file.
    you will probably need to move them to proper directory (they will be in imported bookmarks).

    That's actually the other way around.

    It's like marin123 said:
    - in Chromium choose the wrench, then "Bookmark Manager"
    - then click at "Organize", "Export Bookmarks..."
    - choose a location, filename and append ".html" to it
    - "Save", obviously

    - in Firefox go to "Bookmarks -> Organize Bookmarks..."
    - choose "Import and Backup", then "Import HTML..."
    - the rest is intuitive

    - then the re-ordering stuff

    Greetings.
