Extract Chrome browser bookmarks in Mavericks, as Chrome is EOL
Just to be clear... When you say "I had html links saved within the Chrome browser.", by that do you mean that you had bookmarked various web pages by using the Chrome > Bookmarks > Bookmark This Page...  or Bookmark All Tabs...? If yes, then the file you want is the

/Users/$USER/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Bookmarks


file, and I believe it's in JSON format.

However, you'll need to use the Bookmark Manager in Firefox to import the data.

In Firefox, click Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks or just press: Shift-Command-B

From the Library window that opens, in the Toolbar, the last icon on the right click and select: Import Data from Another Browser...

Then walk through the Import Wizard making the appropriate selections along the way.
