Cannot import bookmarks!

Using Firefox 3.6.28 on a PowerMac G4 with OSX 10.4. I have a bookmark.htm file exported from Windows Internet Explorer 8. When I open "Import" in Firefox, only import options are 'Opéra' and 'Safari '. How can I get these IE Favorites in my mac Firefox?

Thank you! It worked. -Terry

  • 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.

  • Can export the bookmark properties, but cannot import them

    Hi, I am a long-time firefox user and used to put comments in the field of < properties > my favorites. I regularly export favorites and looking at my files of exported bookmarks, I can see my comments. However, due to a problem of PC I have, for the first time, had to import my favorites. They are without error, but less unwieldy comments. I hope that some clever soul will be able to tell me how to import bookmarks with my comments as it will take me ages to recreate all these small comments for each bookmark. Thank you

    I'm not sure if the importer may be required to do more it does already, but I hope that other more savvy will find your question.

    Do you still have access to one of your old profile folder? There, in the bookmarkbackups folder would be the .json files which should 'restoration' with all the details. Note that the restoration will replace completely all your collection of bookmarks, so if you added something new, make sure you keep that separately.

  • FF 8.0 cannot import Safari bookmarks - no import function

    I've updated to Firefox 8.0. I checked the ability to import bookmarks from Safari and I assumed the old Firefox bookmarks would be maintained. I have no bookmarks. The import of Favorites function has been deleted in the file menu and I can find also not under the library in bookmarks menu drop-down. I would like to know how to import bookmarks from Safari. I don't know what the programming philosophy is behind the change of the location of important items and remove them for automation which does not work, but from the point of view of this user makes Firefox is no longer a viable alternative browser for me. The learning curve and the loss of the functions with each new version is too steep. User looking for stability, not change because he is love to me.

  • When you try to import the bookmarks, the ability to import data from another browser is not active in the import and backup from the tap in the history. So, how to import bookmarks on my file?

    I followed the instructions of Firefox to import bookmarks/favorites to Internet Explorer. It does not work because the import data from another browser is not active in the import tab and backup in the history. The instructions read to use this tab, but does not work because it cannot be selected.

  • How to import bookmarks settings on computer that has been wiped with no backup.

    I had to "Refresh" the system of windows due to some problems. Without realizing that I needed to make a backup of my files Firefox to retrieve my profile later, I couldn't.

    Have you ever created a Firefox Sync account to copy your data to Mozilla servers? If this isn't the case, it would be what can be recovered on your hard drive or personal backups.

    The usual kind of reset in recent versions of Windows keeps your old user folder but it moving here:

    C:\Windows.old\Users\your-user-name\

    You will find this file? If so, your Firefox data are probably here - and here's how I suggest to access:

    First of all, it would be useful to set windows to display the hidden files and folders. This article has the steps: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/show-hidden-files

    Then click in:

    Username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles C:\Windows.old\Users\

    Note: you may find a cache under AppData\Local folder, but everything important is under AppData\Roaming.

    Here you can find one or several folders named random semi. Who has most recently updated content is probably the one you want to restore from.

    Bookmarks only

    Go down the old bookmarkbackups folder and copy the last two backups in a location such as the desktop.

    The restore feature will replace the bookmarks in Firefox by default (and what you added since the reset) with all like bookmarks. If you want preserve newly added bookmarks, use the first, export function before the restore, then the import function later. The following articles have details:

    Success?

    Complete restoration

    This post has my suggested procedure to resurrect your old wide profile in your new installation of Firefox. Please note the use of the copy instead of move throughout the process. This allows you to try again if it fails somewhere along the way.

    Pretty simple and easy, not only are there alternative methods, as is often the case in computing, but different methods produce different results.
    Aid articles have more complete explanations with step by step instructions and screenshots.

    You have the choice of four methods depending on what you're trying to reach. Ask you what set of bookmarks is the largest and most complex?

    Import and export of the a.)
    This adds bookmarks. It spikes on the existing ones. (For example, if the laptop: unsorted, folder of bookmarks and bookmarks are now additional folders in the existing desktop bookmarks menu.)
    Useful to simply do what you asked: export the Favorites of the laptop and import those on the desktop.
    However, if the office is new and has only a few bookmarks on it, but the laptop has the major then consider

    1. Export of the desktop as a HTML file.
    2. Backup of the laptop to create a .json file
    3. Restore the .json laptop on the desktop file.
    4. Follow-up to import HTML file
    • Office has now all the bookmarks of the laptop, as well as his own originals

    See

    (B) backup and restore
    This procedure by report written all existing bookmarks. He retained the structure of folders and bookmark labels. Ideal if bookmarks of laptop are the only ones that you care. Or combine the two methods, as suggested above.

    (C.) manually replace the bookmarks and the historical database.
    Not what you asked but that also gets the history information.
    This is useful if you often rely on the addessbar acting as the awesomebar

    (D.) sync
    An alternative is to use Firefox Sync. Who should ensure that the laptop and the Office have the same bookmarks.
    However if you do this save your bookmarks manually before the first sync bookmarks. I highly recommend that if synchronize you bookmarks you make regular manual backups too, because Sync itself can sometimes corrupt and duplicates of bookmarks. (If you do not notice this corruption quickly you can't have automated bookmarks that are free of corruption.)
