I've imported my IE bookmarks into Firefox and want to delete some of them without deleting them from IE. How do I do this?

I prefer to use Firefox as browser. I have imported the favorites from IE into my Firefox. There are many favorites in IE that I do not use but another user of our computer does. I want to delete those favorites (bookmarks) from Firefox. I did one as a test and it was deleted from IE as well. This will not make for happy sharing of a computer!! How can I delete an imported IE bookmark from Firefox without automatically deleting it from IE? Thank you!

Deleting a bookmark from firefox should not delete it from IE
Did you delete it properly? Just open ff -> Ctrl + Shift + B -> Right click on bookmark to delete -> Click delete

  • I use the older style firefox and cannot get the password manager to remember one of my passwords, how do I do this

    I use the older style Firefox browser and cannot get the password manager to remember one of my main site's password. how can I do this?

    The website may be using autocomplete=off to prevent Firefox from saving the name and password.
    You can remove autocomplete=off with a bookmarklet to make Firefox save the name and password.

  • I can't find sweetim, but everytime I log out of Firefox and back on, it shows up as the default keyword search. How can I fix this!!!!!

    I have checked my installed programs, the list of add ons on internet explorer and the one on Firfox, and cannot find sweetim. However, when I try to do a keyword search in the location bar, I am only able to do it twice, until I switch to a new tab. After that, the keyword search no longer works, and gives me a message saying that I haven't typed in the URL correctly or it doesn't exist. There seems to be some connection to www.amazon.com, because everytime I open a new tab and try to do a keyword search in the location bar, amazon.com moves to the top of the small search window, and google moves down. I cannot search in the small window when amazon.com is up, because it won't let me overwrite.
    When I check the about:config, and reset to the defaults after 2 keyword test searches, it sets back to the sweetim.toolbar as the default again. I was just resetting Firefox, but I think I've done that 8 or 9 times now, and I still have the problem.
    What should I do next to fix this?

    HI Noah:
    Thanks for your answer. I'm working my way through the blog, and trying to take all of the steps. Hitman Pro did find 5 trojans, and many remnants of other malware, so hopefully that will help. I'll post again when I've finished trying everything else.
    I had already run Malware Bytes, It did not find/remove the sweetim toolbar, but found a different trojan. Something is up with my antivirus I think.

  • Since installing firefox 3.6.17 recently, responses are slower and i am getting a "ton" of pop-up adds from mozilla, how do i correct this?

    When i go to favorites or google for info and try to go to those sites. the loading of the site is slow. Doesn't matter if i have been there daily or a first look.
    When i go to certain sites i get multiple pop-up ads (indicating mozilla firefox as website at top of pop-up) even tho pop-up blocker is turned on. How do i stop that?
    Can i return to previous version of firefox?

    Upgrade to the latest version of Mozilla Firefox or 3.6. See here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

  • Can someone help me find a way to import my bookmarks into Firefox 4.0?

    I've recently suffered a computer crash. I had everything saved on an external hard drive, and now I'm trying to import the places.sqlite that supposedly holds the bookmarks into Firefox. Firefox refuses to recognize this file. I have seen this question posted many times, but no good answer to it. This is an easy drag and drop task for IE. Why can the same not be said for Firefox?

    Unfortunately, yes I did read that article. I tried importing the places.sqlite file from the Library. The places.sqlite file wouldn't even show up so I could select it when I went to import it. I also tried dragging and dropping it into the right place, but the bookmarks wouldn't show when I restarted Firefox. I've wasted hours on this, and I'm pretty frustrated. I don't know what the problem is. I've seen other posts about this same problem, but I haven't seen anyone say why the places.sqlite file refuses to import.

  • How do I import Delicious bookmarks into Firefox with tags?

    How do I import Delicious bookmarks into Firefox Bookmarks Organizer so the tags port over? I tried importing but the tags are not coming over.

    I recommend Xmarks. For the long-winded reasons why there's nothing better, read below.
    [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/xmarks-sync/ https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/xmarks-sync/]
    # Once installed, run the setup wizard and sign up for a free Xmarks account.
    # Once signed up, sync your bookmarks.
    # Head over to [http://my.xmarks.com/ my.xmarks.com/] and click the '''Tools''' menu option on the page, then choose '''Import Bookmarks From Del.icio.us...'''
    # Enter your del.icio.us login information so Xmarks can import your bookmarks.
    # You should see a list of your del.icio.us bookmarks. Click the '''CHECK ALL''' button, then the '''IMPORT CHECKED ITEMS''' button.
    # When Xmarks next syncs your bookmarks, you will have all of your del.icio.us bookmarks complete with tags, in a folder named "Imported from Delicious ''date of import''".
    # If you're the untrusting sort, change your del.icio.us account password.
    There are two official Delicious extensions at the moment. "[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/delicious-bookmarks/ Delicious Bookmarks]" which not compatible with Firefox 4.0.x, and "[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/delicious-extension/ Delicious Extension]" which is marked as compatible but doesn't actually work.
    @u48998 |
    Slurp didn't work for me. I got all the prompts like I was supposed to, but clicking the '''Export''' button on the delicious page changed its text to '''Please Wait...''' and it just got stuck like that with no way to continue.
    Apart from that, I was rather uneasy about installing an unreviewed extension from an author I've never heard of.
    @the-edmeister |
    You have that backwards. It's Firefox that does not either import or export tags from or to bookmarks.html. The only way to preserve tags when exporting is to create a json backup; these types of files wipe out all existing bookmarks when imported.

  • I am evaluating Firefox to replace my AOL, how do in import my AOL Favorites into Firefox?

    I am evaluating Firefox to replace my AOL, how do in import my AOL Favorites into Firefox?

    First off we have the Favorites as 100+ *.url files that came from a PC... so no export command was used.
    Regarding the first recommendation of opening every URL and adding it to our Bookmarks would take a long time... there are probably 300 "Favorites" in there.
    Is there another way besides Exporting from IE... Since I did not do that and now just have 100s of .url files in one folder on my Mac's desktop?
    Thank you for the replies!

  • I am trying to import my safari bookmarks into my ipad.

    Hi,
    I am trying to import my safari bookmarks into my ipad. I am running snow leopard on my mac so I can't run iClound. I was able to import my address book, calenders, and music by syncing with iTunes but no luck with my bookmarks. Dose anyboday have a work around for this.

    Try de-selecting Sync Bookmarks under the Info tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes, select Apply followed by a sync.
    Follow this by re-selecting Sync Bookmarks and another sync.

  • I have saved My Google Chrome bookmarks as HTML and want to import them into my mozilla bookmarks, when I go to import HTML it seems to load somthing but when I go back to check my bookmarks in mozilla they are not there. I would like to use mozilla more

    I have saved My Google Chrome bookmarks as HTML and want to import them into my mozilla bookmarks, when I go to import HTML it seems to load something but when I go back to check my bookmarks in mozilla they are not there. I would like to use mozilla more often then Chrome so I need please help keeping my Chrome bookmarks.

    @Carolyn:
    Yes, I did search before but restricted it to the past month, because I had the feeling that it’s worse now since the update to 5.1.10, but I may be wrong.
    It seems this is an old and unsolved common problem.
    @andy:
    “Top Sites” is hot, but I’ve never used that funny dots without any mouse-over text.
    After deleting (before starting Safari)  it’s restored by a default TopSites.plist, it seems these cookies
    - are only reloaded when viewing the Top Sites (?)
    - are not among my reappearing cookies, I have never seen such a cookie / cache on my system before (e.g. expedia, orbitz, monster, usatoday, disney, craigslist).
    And Top Sites would not explain why the Web Inspector has different infos regarding use of cookies and local storage than Safari’s “Privacy” tab.
    After playing with deleting TopSites.plist, without surfing, suddenly I have ”121 cookies or other data” at Safari’s Privacy tab, nearly all are listed as “Cache” or “Cache, Cookies” but the Web Inspector doesn’t show any of them, only my google.co.uk items.
    ---> Thanks, I’ll send a feedback to Apple.

    are you backing up files, or doing a Time machine backup, either way, the Time machine will STOP when finished and show "last backup at XXXXXX"  meaning its done...... OR if when transferring files, it will show a progress bar on your desktop and vanish when files are copied.
    Open up the Hitachi drive (your G drive is made by Hitachi, and the best made by the way).....and see if the files are there.
    a MORE VISUAL way is to open the hard drive file, and drag and drop files INTO the Gdrive and you can see them visually be copied there as you do it.
    To see your HD on your desktop GOTO  FINDER......PREFERENCES....then GENERAL TAB.........check the box marked HARD DRIVES.........then your Gdrive will appear on your desktop........open it from there,  and DRAG and drop files from anywhere INTO the Gdrive....... easy visual way to see the files being copied into the Gdrive.
