Cannot export bookmarks to Mavericks OSX.9 to OSX.6.8 Snow Leopard

I am trying to transfer bookmarks from 25 FF goes into OSX Mavericks of 25 FF running in OS x Snow Leopard on another partition on the same computer. The. .Html or JSON files generated by Mavericks backup / export features, will not matter in FF in Snow Leopard. Selcting them has no effect. Can't open html files in a tab of the browser in Mavericks or Snow Leopard. Try to open or to import the .html files in Safari or the other operating system does not either - he tells me that I don't have permission to open the file (permissions are verified, they are ok).
I'm puzzled. Can someone help me please.

Thanks for the tips.

I tried this, but after a little violin, I found the source of the problem.

When I create the .json files .html permissions read 'me' as the owner and "Everyone" does not have access. I had already changed this in Mavericks so that 'everyone' with rw permissions. But when I reboot in Snow Leopard under exactly the same user name) and observe the information area for the two files on the USB key, the name of the owner has changed. Always read "Everyone" with rw permissions, it does not open. I had to add another condition of permissions with my name and give him rw access explicit, then it worked.

  • "Organize bookmarks" is completely absent on my Firefox 5.01. As a result cannot export bookmarks. That is what it is?

  • Let me export bookmarks as html, say you that I am not the administrator, but I'm

    I'm interested in dual-boot for Linux. However, I need to export my favorites. I was always able to export my favorites to an html element, but now say you that I can't because I'm not the administrator? I am the only user and run as administrator. This is not sensible.

    You cannot export the Favorites to an HTML on the desktop?

    You can make Firefox create an automatic HTML (bookmarks.html) backup when you exit Firefox, if you set the pref to true on the subject browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML: config page.

    The backup is created by default in the profile folder bookmarks.html, but you can set the file name and the path through the pref browser.bookmarks.file on the topic: config page.

    The pref browser.bookmarks.file does not exist by default and you must create a new pref to string with the name browser.bookmarks.file and set the value to the full path of the file backup bookmarks.

    Note: an HTML backup preserves tags and annotations, to lose them if you need to import the backup HTML.

  • Firefox 15.0.1 cannot import bookmarks from Safari 6.0.1

    Hello

    Firefox 15.0.1 cannot import bookmarks from Safari 6.0.1.

    I followed the steps below:

    (1) all bookmarks in Safari to export to a file (file-> export bookmarks) HTML
    (2) import bookmarks into Firefox (bookmarks-> Show all bookmarks-> import and backup-> import bookmarks in HTML)

    Firefox seems to load the HTML file, but never bookmarks appear in Firefox.

    Any thoughts of why this is happening?

    Best,

    Jaime. -.

    You need to remove all the attributes of FOLDED into H3 tags with a text editor.

    Then the import should work.

  • I need keystrokes to import and export bookmarks

    I'm blind and use programs output speech to run my windows 8.1 machine and of course impossible to use a traditional mouse. I arrow and tab through each accessible section of the menu of bookmarks, but also with key applications and could find no way that focuses on the key to the achievement of each task. I also tried her curse and swear!

    Hi Eggman,

    This seems incredibly frustrating. The following worked for me:

    1. launch Firefox and press Tab six times to access the bookmarks menu. Press ENTER.

    2. press Alt then arrow up once, and then the right arrow twice to reach the menu import and backup of bookmarks.

    Once you are in the menu import and backup, it's just a matter of selecting the desired option (import bookmarks HTML, export bookmarks in HTML format, or to import bookmarks from another browser).

    I hope that this will take you quite far as your program of speech output can guide you the rest of the way.

  • Export bookmarks from a Mac with broken video

    I can't export the bookmarks of the iMac broke because his video has failed, but I can access the content of its HD on the network and can see the... Library/Caches/Firefox/Profiles folder. It seems empty but Get Info says that it contains 380.5 Mb.

    I would like to somehow copy and paste data on a second Mac, via the network, and then merge the two sets of bookmarks (but would settle for export bookmarks in the second Mac, then crush them with the iMac, before the re - import the exported bookmarks to create a merged file).

    All about the iMac is saved on Time Machine if this helps, but I do not use iCloud.

    Only the disk cache and other files are located in the Library/Caches/Firefox/location.

    Here you can find the main profile folder:

    • < User > /users//Library/Application Support / Firefox/Profiles/< profile >.

    In Mac OS X v10.7 and later versions, the file $HOME/Library is a hidden folder.

  • Cannot restore bookmarks

    Version 3.6.17 last night I noticed that a particular section of bookmark, I use a lot was missing so I tried to restore the bookmarks of a day old backup Firefox has automatically done for me. I got the error "Failed to process the backup file." So I tried each of the 4 other files listed backup, which produces the same error. The manual backup I have is a few months old if I'd prefer restore a recent backup. Is there a way to make one of these json backup work files? Today, I reinstalled FF with the same result. If I can not restore one of these files, then is there a way to import only the part of the saved exported bookmarks I need instead of importing all the old bookmarks file? Thank you, Jerry

    One possible cause is a problem with the places.sqlite file that stores the bookmarks and history.

  • How do I sync and import/export bookmarks between different users on the same computer and two using the Firefox browser?

    All the help instructions are to import and export bookmarks bookmarks between different brands of browsers.

    Assuming that each of these different users use a different profile of Firefox. You can use the built in Fx4 Sync feature. Click on Setup Sync in the menu selections, create an account and then have each user created their profile to use this new account synchronization. It syncs more bookmarks; things like history, passwords, etc. So if it's only the bookmarks you are concerned with that, use customize only synchronize bookmarks when you set up each user. Good luck and have fun in sync.
