So what are we going to do about this?

For those who are using 32 bit version of LL and chrome you can export your bookmarks from chrome with the following.

Export bookmarks from Chrome

In the top-right corner of the browser window, click the Chrome menu.
Select Bookmarks > Bookmark Manager.
Click the "Organize" menu in the manager.
Select Export bookmarks.
Chrome will export your bookmarks as an HTML file, which you can then import into another browser.

I installed Chromium and used the above to transfer my bookmarks over. 

Hope this helps those who will have to choose another browser.
