How to migrate bookmarks Firefox in Windows XP to Windows 8?

I am a new hand with Windows 8 and who need instructions step-by-step on how to migrate bookmarks Firefox in Windows XP to Windows 8. I had tried a few suggestions that I found on the internet, by copying the profile of XP folder in 8. The result was that Firefox cannot open because he couldn't find profiles, and I had to uninstall and reinstall Firefox on my Windows 8 to use Firefox.

To keep your tags on bookmarks, use the type .json

or for use universal (other browsers that do not support the tags), export without tags

    Even on Windows 64-bit, Firefox is a 32-bit application, then your data will be used. It is easier if the version is the same on both (for example, Firefox 3.6 to 3.6, Firefox 5 to 5).

  • How to import bookmarks on a XP computer to one with Windows 7, both have Firefox 4.o

    The XP computer is a 5 year old Dell and Windows 7 is a new laptop HP Pavilion G7. I was confused about the differences in the appearance of Firefox on the two as they are the two v4.o. I managed to download my favorites in a file .json from my XP computer, but I don't see where I can import the file on my Windows 7 laptop. I checked the program for Firefox in Windows 7 files and saw a chain preferences.js file. I didn't know if I should transfer the bookmark.json file in this folder to "import bookmarks.

    To import the bookmarks into Windows 7 computer, click on the orange Firefox button in the bookmarks submenu, select "Show all bookmarks" to open the bookmarks library. In the bookmarks library, select "import and backup" menu, then click on "Choose file" and the restoration. You can then select the JSON from the other computer.

    FYI, the new interface is only by default on Windows Vista and Windows 7. To get it under Windows XP, you must hide the menu bar. Do, in the view menu, select Toolbars, then click on the entrance to the "Menu bar".

  • How can I import Firefox bookmarks, now stored in the folder of the user on the same PC (new), in Firefox?

    How can I import Firefox bookmarks, now stored in the folder of the user on the same PC (new), in Firefox? I exported my old PC Firefox bookmarks in a folder [Windows 8] on my new PC.
    When I use the ease of importing from Firefox, it will only import a bookmark at a time - and then it inserts the bookmarks all the main pages on the site marked with a bookmark, not just the one I initially put bookmark. Also, it does not matter the information stored in the bookmark tag.

    Sure thing.

    1. Open the dialog box run by pressing the Windows key by pressing R
    2. Type of %appdata% in the immediate window and press ok
    3. Open the Mozilla folder
    4. Open the folder of Firefox
    5. Open the profiles folder
    6. Copy the folder that is located in this folder on a USB
    7. Install and run Firefox on the new computer
    8. Closing of Firefox
    9. Repeat steps 1 to 5 on the new computer
    10. Open the folder that you copied from your old computer
    11. Copy the contents of this folder into the folder inside the folder of the profile on the new computer

  • How can I restart firefox with the same tabs and windows?

    How can I restart firefox with the same tabs and windows?

    It is not in the file menu or tools. I get nothing when searching for help. FF still knows how to do it, say to update extensions.

    I know that I can do by saving my session, coming out, reboot and restore the session but is there a single command to do this?

    Thank you. -David

    I have attached a screenshot showing how to select restore automatic session just above the setting of the Home Page where it says "When Firefox starts".

    With this set, you can restart Firefox manually out using the menu-

    • "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
    • (menu bar) File > Exit

    -and then restart Firefox.

    If you want a real reboot with a click of button, you can check something on the Add-ons site: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/

    Hi vijaysampath, please make sure first that the date, time, and time zone are set correctly on your system. If this does not solve the problem (or it is already set correctly), a possible solution depends on different factors:

  • How to import bookmarks to Firefox Firefox OSX Win7?

    How to import bookmarks from Win7 to my firefox OSX?

    Firefox supports two different Exchange formats:

    • 'Backup' - fuller (like canned food tags) - JSON format once restored, replaces all existing bookmarks in the browser
    • 'Export' - compatible with other browsers - HTML format when they are imported, is added to any existing bookmarks in the browser

    Check out these articles and see if you can get the bookmarks when you need:

    To physically move the bookmarks file, you can use:

    • removable media such as a USB Flash drive
    • storage cloud, for example, Dropbox, or an attachment to an email to yourself

    Finally, you could consider implementation service of Firefox sync if you want to keep the two Firefoxes synchronized. It is not necessary for a one-time transfer.
