Add bookmarks to favorites imported from another browser

I've imported my Favorites/Bookmarks from Google Chrome into Firefox. How can I add new Firefox bookmarks to my imported Chrome Favorites folders, rather than the standard Firefox Bookmark menu?:

How did you import the bookmarks? If you simply imported them from HTML, they should be just like normal bookmarks, and you can add new bookmarks using the bookmarks library window.

  • After "upgrade" to new firefox, bookmarks didn't transfer. Help tells how to import from another browser but not old firefox. Also my anti virus (latest update) apparently not compatible with 4.0 Can I restore my old version

    Question
    After "upgrading" to new firefox none of my bookmarks are in new bookmarks help topics tell me how to import from another browser but not from previous version of firefox. Another problem is my anti virus ( most up to date) is apparently not compatible with 4.0 liked the old firefox would never have "upgraded" had I known my anti virus wouldn't work. Can I get old version back

    Check with Kaspersky as to what versions of Firefox their programs are compatible with. It is up to Kaspersky to keep their stuff up to date as Mozilla releases new versions of Firefox. And if they are unwilling or incapable of doing it, they should inform their customers of such and maybe refund their customers instead of stringing them along.

  • Import data from another browser - Only few IE9 favorites get transfered to bookmarks. HTML solution - HTML file all favorites correct, but same result

    Win7 / IE9: First time use. Example: One favorites folder has 4 HTML entries - only 2 get transferred. Some have none transfered - folder empty. Others have random correct + some missing.

    Monday Nght
    I can see complete IE9 Favorites HTML list in HTML file on Desktop with Firefox -> New Tab -> Open File.-> Open
    In desktop HTML file, there are 37 IE9 folders with no more than nesting 3 deep in any one top folder. These are all correct wrt IE9 favorites.
    All top folders + deepest nests are copied to FF ok. Contents random. Copied contents work ok
    7 HTML web sites not allocated to IE9 top folders are also copied <- these 7 copy to FF and work ok
    Example: First folder in IE9 list has no nesting., IE9 has 4 entries - Firefox has only 2. when either method of copying is used.
    BTW - please advise how I can delete whole Bookmark list in Firefox in one keystroke to be able to retry with a clean Bookmark list
    I am going to uninstall Firefox and start again with a clean copy and use HTML method only to try to transfer IE( files. I will report result.
    BTW, I am in UK on UK time - hence delays in replying - need to sleep sometimes!!!!!
    Tuesday Evening
    Hi
    I uninstalled Firefox. Re installed and loaded IE9 favorites from HTML file.
    All seem copied correctly
    First time I started by using the "import data from another browser". Partial copied.
    Then I tried "Import from HTML file" without deleting whatever favorites had been copied. Still partial copied.
    All seems well.

  • I would like to import my bookmarks from IE but the 'Import Data from Another Browser' is greyed out and not an available choice.

    By following the directions on Firefox to open up the Library tool - import & backup - The drop down choice to 'Import Data from another Browser' this choice is greyed out and unavailable. I do not know how to proceed in order to import my favorites from IE.

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.

  • My hard drive failed. I was able to restore my files from an external hard drive. I have my bookmarks saved but am not able to import them into Firefox as the only option is to import them from another browser. Any suggestions?

    -My hard drive failed.
    -I was able to restore my files from an external hard drive.
    -My bookmarks are saved to a folder on my new hard drive.
    -I am not able to import them from this folder on my hard drive into Firefox.
    - the only option Firefox offers for importing bookmarks is to import them from another browser...is there another way?

    In Firefox the bookmarks are saved in a database file called places.sqlite in the profile folder. If you have got this file from the external hard drive you can restore the bookmarks by copying this file to your current profile folder. For details of the location of the profile folder see either https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles or http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox

  • Chrome missing in Import data from another browser

    I use both chrome and firefox portable from site portableapps because mozilla doesn´t have a portable version.
    My dilemma today is this:
    I always had on firefox on menu "import and backup" > > "import data from another browser" listing chrome like this
    https://support.mozilla.org/media/uploads/gallery/images/2012-02-24-10-35-53-97ff60.png
    today i want to import chrome bookmarks to firefox but chrome is missing on the list, in the past i always had it there listed now is just pointing to IE
    Do i need chrome installed on machine to grab something from registry?
    By what i can remember always had that option on portable versions, i am importating this with a fresh pc machine because i installed now windows where i previously wiped the disk from manufacturer erasing tool.
    i digged the net and on questions here but cant find why its missing, can you guys tell me why?
    P.S- i would like to say that this site, Mozilla and Mozilla support, forums and community are the best service i´ve seen in years over the whole web i believe its really the best one and am not writing this because of this question, only thing missing is having Mozilla apps portable, a online chat would be cool too for the community
    Oh god i hope today the "fox" saves me cause i can´t find solution on this
    You guys take it easy.....

    Do you mean the portable version of Google Chrome as well?
    *http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/google_chrome_portable
    Which that version you probably need to export the bookmarks to an HTML file and import that file in Firefox.
    You can open the Bookmarks Manager in Google Chrome (wrench icon > Bookmarks > Bookmarks Manager) and select "Tools > Export Bookmarks"<br />
    This will export the Chrome bookmarks to a file bookmarks.html.<br />
    You can import that file in Firefox: Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import HTML : "From File"

  • Why the "Import Data from Another Browser" option cannot be chosen

    I click on History on the menu, then, Show All History option, a new window appears called Library.
    I click on the button: 'Import and Backups', a drop down menu appears with the option 'Import Data from Another Browser'; however, this option in my browser is light gray, i.e. I cannot choose it. Why?

    Are you in the Private Browsing mode when you try that Import menu item?

  • LR5: Import from another catalog - can't copy

    From LR4 on my desktop PC, I used to be able to select File->Import From Another Catalog..., navigate to a catalog on a networked laptop, select which photos/dates I want to import, then choose to Copy Photos to a New Location and Import. This would both copy the photos over the network to my desktop, and add the photos to my desktop LR catalog - in one step. Always worked great for me for getting travel laptop photos back into my main desktop & LR catalog.
    Both desktop and laptop recently upgraded to LR5. But now when I try this same procedure - the "Import From Another Catalog..." dialog no longer has the option to Copy Photos to a New Location and Import.  The only options are Add New Photos To Catalog Without Moving and Don't Import New Photos.
    Of course I can work around this by doing it with 2-3 extra steps: I can import over the network like above, but choose Add New Photos to Catalog Without Moving and then later copy the files & find the missing photos. Or export to a separate catalog & copy everything, etc.
    So what happend to the Copy Photos to a New Location and Import option in LR5? Was this option removed explicitly?  Or is there something else I'm missing (file path permissions, etc) that would cause the option to not be shown? Thanks.
    Lightroom 5 64-bit for Windows, ver 5.0
    Desktop: Windows 7 64-bit
    Laptop: Windows 8 64-bit

    OK - never mind. I think I figured it out. 
    LR appears to only display the Copy Photos to a New Location and Import option when you have a drive letter mapped to the root of the remote volume where the images are stored (and where the remote network catalog is located). Just browsing to the catalog via UNC path doesn't seem to work. Basically, you have to trick LR into thinking the photos are on a local drive.
    I think when this was working previously, my desktop probably did have a drive letter permanently mapped to my laptop drive root. That mapped drive seems to have disappeared during the laptop upgrade from Windows 7 -> Windows 8.  So no change in behavior between LR4 and LR5.
    In general, I find this the quickest & simplest way to get travel photos from my laptop catalog back into my desktop catalog, when I return home from a trip.

  • Why is Lightroom 5.4 not recognizing existing photos when importing from another catalog?

    I have lightroom 5.4 now updated on my studio desktop computer and my laptop when working in the field. I have a folder of images on both computer catalogs and that inlcudes the negatives on each computer. I made a bunch of edits and changes on my laptop of that folder of images and then exported the changes as a catolog to import into my studio catalog but lightroom doesn't recognize the photos when I import from another catalog. Lightroom tries to add the photos as another folder even though the negatives are there and they are already imported into the desktop catog. Why doen't lightroom recognize they are the same images when I'm importing as catalog? I've always done this with past versions of Lightroom with no problems. I'm just exporting the previews since the negative files are already on both computers. What is wrong?

    The folder hierarchy has to be exactly the same; the slightest thing can throw it off, an upper case on one machine and lower case on the other or a misspelling.

    After virus problem which would not let all parts of the browser page open, I downloaded Firefox from another browser and opened it to install.

    It seems to work again but can I get rid of opening permission request please? I may have 2 versions of the browser in the computer or the new program did not replace the old?

    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    Please report back to see if this helped you!
    Thank you.

  • Finding browsing history imported from other browser

    I used the ‘import data from another browser’ option from the star menu under the ‘show all history’ menu to import history from Chrome and Safari, but haven’t yet located the imports. (I tried viewing options of sort by date added, date modified, etc.) Where are they? Under what name? Thank you!

    As far as I know they will show up as regular history entries. Not separated.
    You can find them in the Awesome bar or in the History section in your Menu bar, by clicking "Show all History".
    Best,

  • Importing from another catalog

    Does "Import from another catalog" import photos already in the target catalog (i.e. duplicates), or only photos not already there?

    The import from another catalog dialog box has several options that you can select or not, as you see fit.
    See item 5 here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/lightroom/using/WS9616DD60-0C3A-484b-8413-053347F21456.html

  • Using numbers for roster information. Imported from another program. Now seem to have extra headers, one listing name, address, etc.

    Using numbers for roster information. Imported from another program. Now seem to have extra headers, one listing name, address, etc. & another A, B, C. They don't mesh & can't get rid of either. All info there, but can't change width of columns.

    I think my problem is that I have inadvertently created three tables (I only want one). I have included a screen shot of the light grey line under B and the words Table 1 behind it.

  • Lightroom 5 (64-bit) Import from Another Catalog... will not complete.

    Ok, here is the situation.  I have a LR4.4 cataloge that contains thousands of edits and all my publish services. File size is 1.2Gb.  I used the LR5 beta and would like to import the edits from that catalog as well as the edits and services from the LR4 catalog.
    Here is what I have tried.  Open the LR4 catalog in LR5, tell it to upgrade the catalog for use with LR5.  This step works without any issues and the edits and services are present.  Now I tell LR5 to import from another catalog and select the LR5 beta catalog.  LR begins processing but will never complete.  Once it gets to checking for changes in duplicates it seems to hang.  Checking the Windows Task Manager reveals that LR5 is still processing, but I have let it sit for over a day and it will not complete the process.  I have also optimized both catalogs before attempting the import again, but that seemed to have no effect.
    The system should have plenty of processing power being that it is an overclocked 6 core Phenom II running at 4.25GHz with 16GB of RAM, but it seems to just never finish.
    Ideas?

    If that doesn't work I don't know what to suggest.
    If that doesn't work, Dax_Morgan can use WreckHover to recover develop settings from the troublesome catalog. Note: it won't get any other metadata nor collections etc., and if Dax already has fresh xmp, that might be a preferred option. But, just so ya know...

  • How to export a photo album from my iphone that was previously imported from another mac?

    Again, I'd like to export a photo album from my iphone to my mac. What is unique here is that the album was originally imported from another mac to my iphone. When I open iphoto on my mac it will import everything else but this particular album. It's from my old iphone that crashed but I was lucky enough to export the pics from my old phone to another mac and then import them to my new iphone. Great as that is, I'd still like to export them to my mac. HELP, thoughts, ideas
