Release Note Request (optional, but appreciated)
[Why is this notable]:

Users migrating from Chrome to Firefox can now bring some of their extensions over too, making it easier to transition smoothly.

[Affects Firefox for Android]:

No.

[Suggested wording]:

If you're migrating your data from Chrome, Firefox now offers the ability to import some of your extensions as well!

Verified fixed with Firefox 119.0b8 on Windows 10x64, macOS 12 and Ubuntu 22. The browser.migrate.chrome.extensions.enabled is true as default and the Extensions option is correctly displayed when importing from a Chrome browser that has installed extensions.
