thanks for the response. Im running windows 8 for what its worth. i followed the advised steps and it did not work.

thanks for the reply but im not sure how to actually go about doing the aforementioned task. additionally, it seems a little concerning that the option of "bookmarks importer" is grayed out and uclickable..http://i1049.photobucket.com/albums/s386/poopydonkey/oprealol_zps5f59b524.png?t=1394959745

a clearer explanation of how to go about executing your initial advice would be great - or just tell me a way to activate the bookmark import option. thanks!

so chrome has been acting up lately and i decided to make the switch to opera. i reallyyy would like to import my chrome bookmarks into opera but cant seem to figure it out. all the info ive found online has been in regards to importing teh bookmarks into an older version of opera. please help! thanks
