I [gavin19] also wrote this very simple Python script that can take a Chrome chrome-extension_kbm..localstorage file as input and output to the Firefox store.json type. Just copy the old Chrome settings file to the same directory as the script and rename to res.db. Running python chrToFF.py should output a valid Firefox-worthy replica.

Going the other way around I assume would be just as simple, in that your parsing through the JSON file and then creating a SQLite dump? I I may fork this and attempt it myself as I want to go FF-Chrome instead of the other way around.
