Impossible to import the bookmarks file (file is JSON or HTML)

Recently, I reformatted my laptop with a friend (works in), and from what I remember, he saved bookmarks via the function "import and backup / Backup".
When I went to import back into Firefox, and I sailed to the location of the file, it was apparently not recognized because it does not appear in the folder, in that I know that it is. While in this process, I noticed also that Firefox is either looking for a JSON or HTML file. When I looked more closely the backup file, I noticed that it doesn't have a file extension. When I looked at the properties of the file, it simply says "file". I went online looking for an online tool to identify the file and found TrID (http://mark0.net/onlinetrid.aspx/). When I ran across this identification software all that I got was:

"The file appears to be crude/ASCII text. TrID is best suited for analysing binary files! »

As I don't see any option in Firefox to load this file type, I wondered what could have been hurt during the backup process.
I was able to open the file in Excel (just a hunch because it "seemed" be a text file based on the identification of online files). The file opened, useless of course, but at least it seems that the file is not corrupted in any case.

Please could someone help me with this? I have all my links job search in this backup, and it would be a ton of effort to recreate all this!

My Info:
Windows XP Home Edition, SP3
Firefox 14.0.1

Hi cor - el,.

Thank you! That solved! I remember years ago with a similar situation, but not Firefox and I thought to try this thing... but I guess I'm getting old... Laughing out loud

Once again, thanks a lot!

  • Could not import the bookmarks file large

    I recently bought another computer on Windows. I installed Firefox and tried to import my bookmarks (html) file. I could only import files into my favorites and nothing else. Then I open my file of bookmarks in Firefox and bookmarks I want are still there. The bookmarks file is 15.8 mb in size. Do I need to split this file and, if so, how could I do?

    Thank you!

    If you still have the old computer, you can try backup .json (using the backup instead of export). With the new system, restore the .json file.

  • Impossible to import the raw files from canon g16 in lightroom 4

    I have a new Canon g16 and can't import raw files into my lightroom 4.  I downloaded the recommended dng converter (canon g16 was one of the devices listed on the support list) and I always get the error message on lightroom being impossible to import and raw riles the g16.  When I checked for software updates, it says there is none - that my lightroom software 4 was "aware".  Does this mean I have to buy lightroom 5 or 6?

    Hi kerryem,

    Canon 16 G has been initially supported by Lightroom 5.2.See devices supported by Adobe Camera Raw

    Please switch to Lightroom latest version 6 to be able to process raw images from new cameras.

    Alternatively, you can use the DNG Converter to convwert G16 raw to DNG files and then import them into Lightroom 4. see help Photoshop | Digital negative converter Adobe 9.x

  • When you try to import the bookmarks to an html file, the command import does not appear in the toolbar.

    I have a desktop Mac running 10.7.5 and tries to import favorites from Firefox on an old Mac running 10.3.9. I exported the file to bookmarks to a file html with success and copied this file to the new Mac.
    The suggestion of using Firefox, I then tried to import the bookmarks into the html file but when I went to the bookmarks toolbar, there is no import option of any kind shown to proceed to the next step. What's wrong?

    In bookmarks (library) Manager is a tool bar with back and next button and three other buttons (organize, view, import, and backup).

    • The first button (gear) is organizing with base change the menu items for the bookmarks
    • The second button is the button in the view which allows you to change the sort order for the visualization of the purpose (sort is not permanently).
    • The third button (Star) is the import and backup button that allows to save and restore a JSON backup and import and export an HTML backup and import bookmarks from other browsers.

    Place each button to display the ToolTip or click on each one to see what they do.

  • Where is the bookmarks file? I need to sync via mobileme.

    For the MAC version of Firefox 4.0.1 where is the precise location (path) on the computer where the bookmarks file is stored? What will be the name of the favorite file?
    I intend to put the bookmarks on my iDisk (mobileme) file so that my wife and I can have the same bookmarks and sync will keep synchronized.

    They are stored in a file called places.sqlite in the profile folder. This file also stores the history of navigation. For the location of the profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

    Another method to keep synchronized bookmarks is to use Firefox Sync, which is integrated in Firefox 4. For more information about Firefox Sync, see http://support.mozilla.com/kb/what-firefox-sync?

    I'm not an apple person.  I read on a few different forums that apple has changed what is called 'writing' in a recent update to apple.  You may need to find an Apple expert to show you how to make sure you are allowed to write to files or locations on your computer.

  • Cannot import the selected file. Refer to the documentation...

    Hi all

    Of the very basic knowledge on Adobe products please bare with me! We have deployed v8 Adobe Captivate our users to test and when they try to take a PPTX file and turn it into an interactive e-learning courses, it fails with the message:

    "Cannot import the selected file. Refer to the documentation to ensure that you have installed the correct version of microsoft office.

    We have the SP2 of Microsoft Office 2010 (x 86) installed Adobe Captivate 8 before us. We tested and this works if the user uses a PPT file (2003 / 2007 Compatible file) which is a workaround but isn't ideal because they then lose the functionality of 2010!

    Anyone can confirm that Captivate 8 supports Office 2010, or this is exactly why we have this problem?

    V9 does support Office 2010 if this is the case, as if a patch is not solve this problem, then we recommend the customer to go to the product V9. One thing is that we use 32-bit with 64-bit Captivate Office but the fact that it works with legacy PPT I doubt it is the origin of the problem.

    Thank you!

    ChrisW

    As far as I saw, 9 Captivate does not handle this better than 8 Captivate.  But you can check it out yourself by downloading and installing the Cp9 trial version and see if that will import your PPTX.

    A few other suggestions for you:

    • Make sure you run Captivate (regardless of version) using the command run as administrator.
    • Also set PowerPoint to be launched using run as administrator.
    • Don't try to import a huge PPT or PPTX.  Do your tests on something small, say 10 or 20 slides.  This will alleviate the question if you really do turn into is a matter of PC resources.
    • Test with PPTs very sober.  Captivate imports can stumble on some objects incorporated into the PPT Slides.  So just having pictures, text, and anything else in your PPT test.
  • Lightroom CC do not import the xmp files, help please.

    I tried to import the .nef files w/sidecar xmp from another computer.  I copied the files on a SD card, and then read the SD in the new computer.  The folder contains the related file NAVE and xmp.  None of the settings came to the new computer.  Any suggestions on how to get copied changes on (it's on about 1 200 pictures, so it would be nice).  The original raw files were correctly; any changes. Thank you...

    Thanks to everyone for their help...  I understood the question.  I needed to copy the XMP files in folders that contain the associated images.  I then went in lightroom, selected all the images and metadata right click > read metadata from the file, I was warned that it would replace the catalog but since it is a new machine and the catalog, I said ok.  The changes came and everything worked.

    Definitely. You need the version 5.7, which is only for CS4.
