Can I copy my bookmarks from Safari to Firefox if they are on the same computer?
I would like to use Firefox and I want to copy the Favorites I have in Safari. I have a Mac with OS10.6 and the Safari and Firefox are on the same computer. I want to know if Firefox is friendlier, since I do a lot of writing.
You need to update Firefox 6.0.1 via help > topic > check updates
before trial rather than being disappointed with an updated Firefox after the test.
All browsers can use the Netscape bookmarks to HTML file to copy the Favorites. But according to the documentation, you can import directly from Safari. I hope that this applies to your Mac, because it does not appear as an option for me on Windows 7.
Import bookmarks - MozillaZine Knowledge Base
"Firefox is important Safari settings automatically. Just go to file > import... and select Safari. In the next window, check the boxes that you want to import. For example, bookmark Safari will appear in the bookmarks menu to Firefox as "Safari". Whatever other bookmarks you had on your Safari bookmarks bar will automatically appear on your Firefox bookmarks bar, too. "
If this does not work:
- Export bookmarks in Safari: (from Safari Help)
- Choose file > export bookmarks.
- Specify a location for the exported file. The file name will be "Safari bookmarks.html." Most browsers are able to import this type of file.
Import of bookmarks in Firefox:
- "Command-SHIFT-B' to display the list of bookmarks library, can be done in the bookmarks menu >"show all bookmarks ".
- "Import and backup" menu > import HTML > HTML file
- (unless you see Safari)
Firefox uses the same keyboard shortcut to display such menus used on Safari (on a PC, it's the 'Alt' key).
Firefox is highly customizable so you can change the appearance, and a lot of what we would do in other browsers must be done using extensions in Firefox, but the extensions for the 'same' function probably give you much more functionality and control. The look of Firefox by following more like 3.6 would be interesting if you're used to other older browsers - Safari grew up independently for other browsers are more similar.
You can make Firefox 6.0.1 look to Firefox 3.6. *, see numbered items 1-10 of the next topic difficulty Firefox 4.0 UI toolbar, problems (make Firefox 4.0 to 8.0, resemble 3.6). If you make changes, you must be aware of what has changed and what it takes to use changed or missing features.
It is much more beyond these first 10 steps in the list, if you want to make Firefox more functional. (later on)
Keyboard shortcuts:
- Firefox Support home page. Firefox help
To customize your system, but a very limited number of shortcuts is displayed

Import bookmarks from Safari to Firefox 36.0.4 5.1.10
I can't import bookmarks from Safari Firefox 36.0.4 5.1.10. I do not see "Library" or "Bookmark manager" or something (I think I saw a function import in an earlier version of Firefox) which is often considered online. I have a white iMac under Snow Leopard (10.6.8)
Any help is greatly appreciated.
When you install firefox for the first time, you should automatically see an import dialog box. If you have already installed firefox, follow these instructions:
1. go in the bookmarks menu, then choose "Show all bookmarks" (gives you the library)
2. in the row of icons at the top, click on the button that has a star with a clock inside icon (fifth from the left)
3. Select 'import data from another browser.
4. choose "safari".
5. choose what information you want to import (you can also import your preferences and history) -

Copy bookmarks from Safari to Firefox - I like to use two browsers!
I was looking for a "Import bookmarks" feature in Firefox so my Safari and Firefox bookmarks will be the same. I like to use two browsers, because they work sometimes differently with various websites.
An example: HP Velotechnik in Germany manufactures Recumbents of high-end and trikes. They have a 'configurator tool' which opens only in the latest version of Firefox. It will not open in Safari. (A Java problem, I think)

- past in app Google Dungeon
- successfully pasted the text in Dungeon in the 'add a quick note', also tapped the new note icon and pasted the text into a new note
