Bookmarks saved to a uniquely named bookmarks "folder" using "Bookmark All Tabs" not exporting.

I used the Bookmark All Tabs feature to save a group of bookmarks into bookmark "folders". I did that by right-clicking on one of the tabs, choosing "Bookmark All Tabs". For "Folder Name" I entered "Watches". The default entry in the "Folder" field was "Bookmarks Menu", which I did not change. When I look at my list of bookmarks there is a separate "folder" named "Watches" that contains all the bookmarks I saved. So far so good. The problem came when I used "Export Bookmarks to HTML..." When I opened the "bookmarks" folder I noticed that the name "Watches" appeared on the page, but none of the actual "Watches" bookmarks were there. I thought that maybe they were contained somewhere within the bookmarks file, but I just could not see them. However, after I imported the bookmarks into IE none of the "Watches" bookmarks were there.
Why are the "Watches" bookmarks not included within the exported "bookmarks" file? I've searched Google but haven't seen where anyone else has mentioned this problem.
Incidentally, I have other bookmarks I've saved the same way (i.e., "Bookmark All Tabs"), and none of them are being exported either. Also, doing the export with all add-ons disabled made no difference.
Thanks.

Problems with bookmarks and history not working properly can be caused by a corrupted places.sqlite database file.
You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.

I have got a new pc and want to save the bookmarks. Where do I find the folder with the bookmarks?

Why can't I save for web in a specific folder using actions?

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to save in a specific folder desitnations when using Actions and Saving For Web with CS6 PS for Windows. It ALWAYS defaults to last folder used. I am not Batch Processing, just using Actions on one image at a time. I have 3 of these actions. Action one is for "Thumbnail" folder, Action two is for "Full" folder, and Action three is for "Large" folder. All these actions are doing is saving for web into these folders (path displays correctly in Action script). HOWEVER after I successfully use Action one and save into the Thumbnail folder and move on to Action 2, it wants to save back into Thumbnail AND NOT into Full folder. In short I now have 3 actions saving to the same folder even though my recording designated 3 different locations. HELP!

Ok...I switched to my home Mac and was having similar issues with the toggle Save for Web window on. Saving to same folder even in Mac OS. Tried your way by keeping toggle off and it worked, saving diff images to different folders. I guess I have to figure a work around for the naming conventions however. My original is a 5 digit number lets say 11111.jpg. When I duplicate / use a sizing action I get two additional photos named 11111 copy.jpg. That is why I kept toggle window on in CS3 so I could simply paste the 11111 name back in the dialogue window so I'd have three diff size photos in three diff folders named 11111.jpg.
These steps might seem super basic but I do these steps for a website all day everyday three months straight without issue and I guess I have to adjust. I usually use orignal photos and have to rename. Is there a way to Duplicate images as the same 11111.jpg instead of 11111 copy.jpg? That way I can just rename the photo at the beginning (red_flower_000ddafjdflj to 11111.jpg) and not use toggle (or rename at all).

Tabs: previous versions allowed for saving all tabs in a bookmark folder. The new tab groups do not behave this way. How can I save permanent set of tabs as a group that is available later, like the folder of bookmars was?

tabs: previous versions of firefox allowed for saving all tabs with a group name, so you could open them all again later at your convenience. The new firefox 4.0.1 has a new tab feature, but the tab groups do not seem to persist once you shut down, and are not saved as a folder in your bookmarks. What am I missing? How can I do what I want (save permanent set of tabs as a group that is available later, like the folder of bookmarks was)? Thanks

Right click one of the tabs, the "Bookmark all tabs..." option.
Does it do what you want?

How do I get the right-click-on-tab - "Bookmark all tabs" to put the bookmarks in a folder of my choosing without creating a subdirectory named "[Folder Name]

Every time I create a new folder, say on the bookmarks toolbar, like "REOPEN 6-13-14" and use the "Bookmark all Tabs" function to create bookmarks to reopen later, it creates a sub directory in the new folder called [Folder Name]. If I have 4 windows open with multiple tabs and do this, it creates 4 separate [Folder Name] folders in the "REOPEN...." folder. Really want to just add all bookmarks into one big folder to reopen later.

If you use "Bookmarks All Tabs" then Firefox will always create a new folder with the name that you specify in the location that you specify.
If you do not change the default name then it keeps [Folder Name] for its name.
This also happens if there is already a folder with the same name and you thus get multiple folders with the same name.

How can I update an already saved "bookmark all tabs" group with a current group of tabs? Or add only the changes??

Example of problem:
I have already saved a group of tabs using the "bookmark all tabs" feature.
I open that group of tabs in a new browser window.
Then I modify that group of tabs that I have open, adding new ones, removing old ones.
How can I replace the existing tab group with the new tabs?
Is there an option to just add the new ones that I have opened and keep all the others even if I have removed some of the old ones from the currently opened group?
...another issue: can I share bookmarks online? What are the options for this?

You can't do that.<br />
Each time you use "Bookmark All Tabs" a new folder is created, even if you give the folder the same name, so you will have to do any merging yourself in the Bookmarks Manager or just create a new group and discard (delete) the previous group.
If you want to share bookmarks online then you need to use a web based service that offers such a feature like Delicious.

How do I save a bookmark on the list to a specific folder?

I have amassed a collecti0n of over 1000 bookmarks. is there a tutorial anywhere to learn how to manage those bookmarks. Like in:
a.keep them under specific folders... what are the steps to move a bookmark to the inside of a folder. or ...
b.list them in alphabetical order.
c How do I get the system to allow me to add a new bookmark at the top of the list instead of the very bottom?
d. How could one scroll down on a long list of saved bookmarks without having to go with the cursor one line at a time?
Additionally:
if I wanted to keep a list of all the websites addresses, is there a way to save that list as a file or a print out?
e. where do all those bookmark addresses get saved on, should I wanted to go and make a duplicate of that list? In which sub-folder of Firefox are they kept
On another note:
Is it possible to request an email to be sent to my address when
1. someone answers My posting?
2. how can i keep track of the history of my posted questions and the thread of those questions?
Thank you kindly for whomever may offer any detailed help

a. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Sorting_and_rearranging_bookmarks_-_Firefox
b. Sort Places extension - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/9275/
c. Sorry, I don't know how to do that. When I want to save a new bookmark to a specific location in one of my bookmark folder I just drag the website image ''(from the URL bar or that tab)'' into that folder and position.
d. You can use the "up" and "down" arrow keys to quickly scroll the Bookmarks menu bar drop-down; highlighted bookmark folders can be opened by the right arrow key and you can scroll that folder with the down arrow key. When the bookmark you want to open is highlighted you can open it with the Enter key, or {Ctrl + Enter} to open it in a new Tab.
e. Your Bookmarks ''(and browsing history)'' are stored in the '''places.sqlite''' file in your Profile folder. Five daily backups of yoir Bookmarks are stored in the '''\bookmarkbackups\''' folder in your Profile folder. <br />

How do I move bookmarks from my list or in a folder to the Favorites connection in my Start menu

I have a folder in my start menu named Favorites. When I click on it, it takes me to the list of bookmarked folders. When I open the folder I want, it shows some, but not all of the bookmarked sites in the folders. How do I add bookmarked sites to the folder so the open with Favorites?

Safari 4 will not import bookmarks saved with Safari 3.2.3!

Safari 4.0 (Build 530.17) for Windows DOES NOT correctly import bookmarks saved with Safari 3.2.3 for Windows!! There are no links!! But it does import the folders.
For example if I open the bookmarks in Safari, it looks like an HTML file. It says this:
Games
http://www.romnation.net/srv/emulators/mame.html
http://www.romnation.net/srv/download/rom/25758/mame/Tron-set-1.html
and many more folder categories....
But when I go to the File Menu and choose "Import bookmarks..." it will only import the Folder names, such as "Games" but NOT the web links.
It does not import these:
http://www.romnation.net/srv/emulators/mame.html
http://www.romnation.net/srv/download/rom/25758/mame/Tron-set-1.html

its fixed now

Bookmarks, saved address info. vanished

Cut on my Mac today, hit Safari; all book marks gone even from bar. Address book, Gmail , Yahoo, all bookmark info. that usually is in the folder when you first install Safari; gone. All saved business contacts and links as well. Replacing the Safari preferences from my back up folder does not correct this issue. What gives. More importantly, how do I get my info. back.

Hi Boe
. I was able to determine that I have previous versions of OSX on my startup disc. Somehow one other than the latest was chosen at startup.
Do you have separate partitions on the HD? OS X on a separate partition ought not to affect User files on another partition. Could you explain more about your computer setup?

I Lost my bookmarks, saved passwords etc while i do trouble shooting informations and made reset how recover it?

I lost my bookmarks, saved passwords etc while doing trouble shooting information and made reset and it asks import form any browsers i clicked cancel.please help me how to recover my old bookmarks and saved passwords?

Hi,
You can try to start the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles?redirectlocale=en-US&redirectslug=Managing-profiles#w_starting-the-profile-manager Firefox Profile Manager] and choose the '''*.default''' profile. Hopefully the bookmarks, history and passwords will be back. You can also check in the other profiles by exiting the currently started Firefox and starting another, or you can also try to start all the profiles one by one by using '''firefox.exe -p -no-remote'''.
As a precaution you may want to take a backup of all the profiles: Type '''%appdata%''' in the Run box (Windows key + '''R'''), open '''Mozilla\Firefox''' and copy the '''Profiles''' folder.

In Organise Bookmarks/Search I want to move a search result bookmark into a different folder, but it "copies" rather than "moves" - how can I "move" it?

Having got a list of bookmarks as the result of a Search in "Organise Bookmarks", I want to move one of the resulting bookmarks to a different folder.
If I move the bookmark into a folder on the left hand pane - it copies it.
If I hold the shift key down and move it - it copies it.
If I hold the control key down and move it - it copies it.
If I hold both the control and shift key down, the icon does change from a "+" sign to an arrow, but - you guessed it - it still copies it.
All I want to do is a simple move!
I'm probably doing something daft. Please let me know what it is!
I'm using Firefox 17.0.1 if that's of any relevance.

Hello mara1618, go from Firefox button > Bookmarks, touch the folder and when expand all folder bookmarks, drag the bookmark you want to another folder.
thank you

In Safari 8, I have problems moving my bookmark folders without it going into another folder. I cannot organize them in any manner?

Keeping the folder you are moving to the far left will do the trick.

I need to create a NEW folder for bookmarks, not add to an existing one. I've been looking for over 2 hours and can only find the latter. Also, if possible, I'd like to remove a redundancy on my Bookmarks Toolbar. Thank You!

I am working on many projects and my bookmark folders suffice. I need to create new folders, but not "Smart Folders." After over 2 hours, I keep coming back to the same description of how to add new folders to existing ones. NOT what I want to do. This used to be easy, but the set up must have changed as I've been trying to do this all day with no success.
Also, somehow my gmail inbox appears twice in my bookmarks toolbar. Again, I am finding information that does not apply to me in help and former question files and links. How do I remove things from my bookmarks toolbar?
Thank you and PLEASE, oh Please e-mail the answer to me as I seem to have problems with your site.

Open the Bookmarks Library, to do that in the Bookmarks menu select "Organize Bookmarks"
In the Bookmarks Library, in the left hand pane click on "Bookmarks Toolbar" to select it, now in the Organize menu select "New Folder".
If you have the capability to right-click, you can also right-click on the Bookmarks Toolbar and select New Folder.

Creating a new folder in bookmarks

I want to create a NEW folder in bookmarks and THEN add bookmarked pages to that folder.
I've actually searched support for a specific solution or instructions and found none. Currently, I can not find any instructions or options for creating a folder. I don't want to just bookmark the current page I am on. I want to create a folder based on topic and then, later, add bookmarks to that folder when a particular page is related to that topic.
How?

Note that you can also create a new folder via the Organize button in the Library window.<br />
The Organize is the first of the three buttons on the toolbar in the Library (Organize, Views, Import and Backup).
