I was using Firefox for long time and recently moved to Chrome. And after installing Chrome, when I opened it for the first time, it asks that "You have bookmarks in another browser. Want to import them?"
My question is: How does Chrome knows these bookmarks? Is that Firefox saves in the common place, where other Browser can make use it? If the answer is yes, then what is the reason to save them in a common place?
Please correct me, if I'm wrong!

Chrome can do this because the developers know where Firefox (and the other browsers) store their data. In exactly the same way the Firefox developers know where Chrome stores it's bookmarks.
There's no common location - just investigation by the developers of one browser of how the other browsers work.
