Syncing bookmarks from Firefox in iTunes for 3GS?

When you sync your iPhone it gives you the option to sync bookmarks from IE or Safari, but I use Firefox and this doesn't show on the menu... what am I doing wrong?

Firefox does not show as a browser to select for syncing bookmarks since syncing bookmarks with Firefox is not supported. You should be able to import your Firefox bookmarks with Safari on your computer followed by syncing your iPhone Safari bookmarks with Safari on your computer.

Using iDisk to sync bookmarks from firefox??

I do not like safari, I am just a fan of firefox. I tried using it for a while but it is just not the style for me. But, I like having my bookmarks synced with my iPhone, and that only is automated with safari. But I do backup to .mac syncing and I have got firefox extension foxmarks to upload to my idisk server to store firefox bookmarks. But it makes its own folder at /documents/firefox.xml I tried to change its path to /library/application support/bookmarks/bookmark.xml so that when safari synced with .mac, it would take the firefox bookmarks then sync that to my iphone.
First off, does that make sense?
Second off, is there anyway to do that? Because when i click upload in foxmarks it connects but then says error:forbidden. is there any way to allow myself access to that?
Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Yeah, download the new safari to your computer (the one you sync the phone to) and have it transfer your bookmarks from firefox. Then when you sync the phone the bookmarks should transfer.

Unable to Sync bookmarks from ipad to itunes.

I have been completely unable to sync my safari bookmarks from my ipad 2 to windows PC.
In itunes, where according to this (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296) under the 'info' tab I should be able to click sync, I only get the following message:
'Your bookmarks are being synced with your ipad over the air from icloud' and get no other option.
Yet when I log into my icloud account, there is no safari or bookmarks, despite the fact that on my Ipad icloud settings I said to have Safari synced!
Anyone know a way to get round this problem?
Or failing that, ANY way to copy my bookmarks onto my laptop? (aside from emailing them individually).
Thanks so much,
Nicky

For now I have solved the problem, and it seems to come down to iCloud working better on Windows. I open Parallels running Windows 8 and updated xmarks in chrome and downloaded my good clean bookmarks. Then i installed icloud control panel and the icloud chrome extension (why is there no Mac version of this?) and switched over to Safari on Mac and the bookmarks quickly synced to the good clean version and showed up on my iOS devices as well.
It might have been partially the 2 computer thing, but no matter what Apple should have the same functionality they offer Windows Users on the Mac! I know they want you to use Safari, but I do not and will not. I use Chrone and Firefox, and will continue to do so!

How do I export bookmarks from Firefox for Mobile (android) to an html file?

I have bookmarks on my Firefox for Mobile v 33.1 that I would like to copy/back up to an html file. Even if I access the desktop version on my tablet I don't see the Show all Bookmarks - Import/Export option. This Android profile used to be linked through the old Firefox Sync to my PC but the issue is that I can't access it from my PC anymore as I just had to replace the hard disk. I have now installed the new Firefox on my PC but it won't sync with the old Android version as the new Firefox Sync is not compatible with the old one. Also when I go under Sync on the Android, it says the email account is deprecated.
Going forward I understand I need to remove account on the Android, update to the new Firefox Sync and newly link PC and Android device. However I have read that If I remove the account on my Android Firefox and set up the new Firefox Sync on it, I will lose my old bookmarks and it will only start saving and syncing bookmarks from then on even if I use the same email address to set it up. If this is the case and before taking this step, is there a way I can copy my old Android bookmarks to an html file?
All suggestions very much appreciated! I'm completely lost.
Thanks

Tangram that is an answer for desktop Firefox. It does not apply to Firefox for Android.
There is no way to export bookmarks/history in Firefox for Android.
However your Firefox sync account is unrelated to the Firefox for Android profile. You can safely remove the account without loss of data. Then set up a new Sync Account.

I have deleted all my bookmarks from firefox sync by error on reintalling operating system. Is there any way to recover it? I have all bookmarks saved on "Firefox Home" on my iPod. Can I extract bookmarks from "Firefox Home" to my computer? Thanks

Sync Bookmarks from Mobile to Desktop

I'm using Firefox 19 on Windows and Firefox Mobile on my Samsung Galaxy S2 (Android).
The Sync from my Desktop to the Phone works perfectly. But now I am searching for a way to get Bookmarks from Firefox Mobile to my Desktop Firefox. Is this possible?
I can add Bookmarks on the Phone, but unfortunaly i can't find them on my Desktop Firefox, even after pressing "Sync" on both devices.
Is there a way to do this?

How to take manually back-up bookmarks from Firefox and put into Favorites in Explorer

I just changed jobs. My last job used Firefox, my new job uses Explorer. I previously did a manual back up of my bookmarks from Firefox. Is there a way now to get them into Explorer?

For cross-browser compatibility, you should have '''exported''' your bookmarks in '''HTML''' format. <br />
Create a new Profile in a Firefox installation and '''restore''' that '''json''' file, then '''export''' in '''HTML''' format. You can trash that new Profile when your'e done if you don't want it.

IMac G5 (10.3.9) display died. Saved hard drive as external disk. Can't import bookmarks from Firefox 2.0.0.2 to use on Mac Mini (10.4.11).

My G5 ran OSX 10.3.9 (highest functional version for that hardware). My Mac Mini (core solo) runs OSX 10.4.1.1 or thereabouts. I don't like the way any other browser works on the Mini, so I want to continue using Firefox, which was my default browser on the iMac, and I had years and years' worth of bookmarks on the iMac that I hope I don't have to rebuild one at a time. The iMac crash involved the display; the hard drive is completely functional and is in a new external drive case. The Apple Store folks said they're not allowed to work on such an old machine and likely it couldn't be repaired anyway. So, I have Firefox and presumably all its bookmarks (and maybe bookmarks backups) on the external hard drive, but the version of Firefox I copied to the Mac Mini does not appear to include any of my bookmarks, and the Firefox web site instructions for restoring Bookmarks from Firefox to Firefox don't address this older version. (I've even tried opening Firefox on the external drive and all I get is the 'clean slate' version with none of my old bookmarks.) How do I restore bookmarks from one version of Firefox to the same version of Firefox, just on a different, newer OS?

Firefox 2 versions use the file bookmarks.html to store the bookmarks.

When deleting bookmarks from Firefox, why does the program respond differently on similar installs to different computers all running OS X?

On the subject of bookmarks...
The following procedure works for deleting bookmarks on my MacBook Pro, my iMac, and my Mac mini...
If the bookmark is itself a tab on the toolbar, right click on it and select delete by highlighting delete in the drop down menu that appears.
The following procedure works for deleting bookmarks on my MacBook Pro, but not my iMac or Mac mini...
If the toolbar tab is actually a folder containing bookmarks and possibly more folders, left click on the toolbar tab to open a drop down menu of other bookmarks/folders, highlight the one you want to delete, then right click on it and select delete by highlighting delete in the drop down menu.
On the iMac and Mac mini, right clicking on an item in the drop down menu of bookmarks/folders has no effect. It does not produce the additional drop down menu at all.
I can find no place to adjust this as a setting in preferences or anywhere else. Can you tell me why I am seeing a different response from the Firefox program on my MacBook Pro than I get from my other Macs?
All Macs are configured similarly and running OS X 10.6.5. All have Firefox 3.6.13 installed.
I realize there are many other ways to delete bookmarks from Firefox. My question is not about how to delete bookmarks, but rather why am I seeing the differing behavior from Firefox in other installs. It may well prove to be an issue within OS X rather than Firefox.

In case you are using "Clear history when Firefox closes" then try to disable this feature.
*Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history": [ ] "Clear history when Firefox closes"
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Clear+Recent+History
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem

I have to agree, fixing something that was working fine and replacing it with the new crap has led me to switch browsers.BIG FAIL MOZILLA
Why do people do this shit.
Turn off updating to keep your good working version or you will be forced to use the new version that is missing some well used features.

I have a sync account and used to keep sync with Firefox server. Now computer got re-installed(OS) and want to sync data from Firefox sync server. But I am unable to setup as i don't have sync key.
I would like to just sync with Firefox Sync Server with existing account. I can not find any way out for this. please reply me on

hello, for the old sync system in firefox 28 and below you also had to sign up with a mail address and password originally - to connect firefox to the old account you would need to have all those three pieces (mail, password & recovery key) available to you unfortunately...

Run time error when trying to import bookmarks from firefox

When trying to import bookmarks from Firefox to Safari I get the following error message: "Run Time Error. This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way." Safari does not function anymore and I have to close it. Can somebody help me? I am using a PC with Windows 7.

In the Bookmarks Manager (Library) there is a toolbar with the Back and Forward button and three other buttons (Organize, Views, Import & Backup).
* The first (gear) button is the Organize button with basic edit menu items for bookmarks
* The second button is the Views button that allows to change the sort order for viewing purposes (doesn't sort permanently).
* The third (star) button is the Import & Backup button that allows to backup and restore a JSON backup and import and export an HTML backup and import bookmarks from other browsers.
Hover each button to see the tooltip or click each of them to see what they do.

I need to sync bookmarks between Firefox Sync and Seamonkey. Is this possible and if so how to do it??

I use Firefox and Seamonkey, both on the same computer and also on other computers. I would like to use Firefox Sync to sync bookmarks between Firefox and Seamonkey on all my computers, but I don't understand how to do this, since the browsers seem to use their own separate servers.
Is this possible and if so can you tell me how to set it up.
Thanks.

I understand the confusion!
I am not a Mozilla support person, but from my experience, Sync should be called Mozilla Sync, not Firefox or Seamonkey Sync.....
If you create an account in Firefox, that account is accessible to Seamonkey.
As per the Mozilla instructions, in Firefox you open "Options, sync, add device" and in Seamonkey "setup sync, I already have an account". The text here is a bit confusing because it should read "I already have a Mozilla Sync Account", otherwise you tend to think it implies a Seamonkey Sync account...
Then click "connect" and Seamonkey then supplies three fields of characters which you enter in the appropriate fields in the Firefox "add device" dialog.
I think it is confusing that in Firefox the server is called "Firefox Sync Server" and likewise Seamonkey offers a "Seamonkey Sync Server" suggesting they are two completely separate, non-connected entities.
Hope this helps!

Bringing in bookmarks from Firefox

Has anyone brought in bookmarks from Firefox?
how does it work?
Can one get rid of all present bookmarks and replace with what you have in firefox, or just add on? thanks

Hi Kevin you are very welcome,
No, I don't think there is a reason to stay with it, if it is not working well for you, personally
I prefer Safari it works well for me.
If you do not have the Debug menu activated I suggest you do so.
You can do that with Onyx or the Terminal app. if you search Debug menu in AD, Safari category you are bound to get some hits: )
I am not saying you will, but don't delete your Safari app if you decide not to use it, It barely takes any space MBs .
I just download the nightly web kit Safari,I have not opened the dmg yet,
it is a Safari version that is worked on daily & then released nightly, see the link below if you are interested.
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=4323039#4323039
When it comes to browsers I prefer more to less.
I have Safari Camino ◈ Opera ◈ Firefox◈ Shiira ◈ Realplayer which is also a browser,& I
just very recently dumped IE 5.2.3. it was useless.
I don't use any Safari enhancing apps with my Safari.
Hope this helps, long drawn, eh?
