Criar Backups de bookmarks.html periodicamente em local pre-determinado pelo usuário.Grato!!

Se o usuário tiver um problema com o sistema, com partições de disco separando arquivos pessoais de arquivos de sistema, nada se perde,só o que mais importa nos navegadores "Os Favoritos". Portanto uma ferramenta capaz de criar backups de hora em hora ou tempo e local definido no perfil de usuário. Seria muito Bom!
A idéia é estimular a criação de uma ferramenta que Crie Backups de bookmarks.html periodicamente em local pre-determinado pelo usuário.
Grato!!

How can I import bookmark HTML records directly into pre-defined (but empty) Folders?

Firefox is my default browser. I am in the process of replacing an old computer with a new one. I've converted into HTML files the Bookmark content of all of the Folders appearing within the Bookmarks section of Firefox on my old computer. I then uploaded this into the cloud, and downloaded it to my new computer. I've loaded Firefox afresh on the new computer. Now . . .
Ideally, I would like to be able to import these saved/HTML bookmarks (now on my new computer) directly into the new Firefox, keeping the Folder structure maintained in saving them from the old computer; less ideally, but still acceptable, would be to simply re-create as empty Folders each Folder from the old computer's Firefox setup and then do a 'Select All' copy/paste from each of these Folders as saved in my downloaded HTML bookmarks into these initially empty Folders created in the new computer's Firefox Bookmarks section. Is either of these currently possible? In short, this is a quite distinct scenario from importing bookmarks from other browsers on the same computer.
I have tried, but it seems that neither of these functions is currently viable. As common as replacing one computer with another is, I find this a pretty significant oversight which will require a very time consuming conversion process if such functions are not currently available; i.e., I'll have to open each saved HTML Folder and manually activate each individual html bookmark, go to that website, and individually re-bookmark each of these one by one within the Bookmarks section of Firefox on my new computer as if I were bookmarking this site for the very first time. With hundreds and hundreds of bookmarks segregated into about 30 Folders, I think you can see what a productivity drain this will be.
While there appear to be some quite interesting and potentially useful FireFox Addons - e.g., Categorize - none of these seems to address/resolve this problem. Can you advise? Thank you.

To start out with, Firefox hasn't used the HTML format for storing bookmarks for a few years now; you can still import and export bookmarks in HTML format, as you can with just about any other browser out there as an interchange format. Firefox 3.0+ versions use an SQLite database for storing bookmarks and browsing history in the place.sqlite file. Firefox 3.0+ versions do automatic backups of your bookmarks in the JSON format; that file includes "Tags" data but not the web site Favicon data. Restoring a backup from an old PC to the new PC is how Mozilla handles replacing an old computer - or you can "backup" the entire old Profile and transfer that data to the new PC manually. A user could also use Firefox Sync to "sync" their personal data onto the new PC. IMO, you're over-thinking this using dated information (talking about HTML files) without knowing about what options you currently have with Firefox and Mozilla.
Is that a genuine Netscape-1 bookmarks.html file? ''Look at the first line of code in that HTML file to see.'' 
Or is it a standard HTML file?
If you have a genuine bookmarks.html file, you can '''Import''' that file thru Organize Bookmarks > Import and Backup > Import HTML... > From an HTML file.
Doing it that way you will be appending the bookmarks & folders that are in the '''Bookmarks Menu''' folder right now. The ordering of the folders and bookmarks in the "imported" file is identical, the "imported" data is added below the existing data. That said, the '''''Bookmarks Toolbar''''' folder and the '''''Unsorted Bookmarks''''' folder from the "imported" data will be in the Bookmarks Menu folder at the bottom; you'll have to move the bookmarks that are in that folder to their respective folders, above and below the Bookmarks Menu folder.

Manual backup of bookmark json file is empty, export of bookmark html file "self-deletes"

I'm now using Firefox 17.0.11esr in Win 7 at work and 26.0 in Win XP at home. I tried 24.2.0esr at work, but had to return to the earlier version, because of this problem below, which also happens with my home machine:
I cannot save, manually or automatically, a usable bookmarks json file for use as a backup. The files are always empty.
When I try to export a bookmarks html file, it begins to create and save it, but then "self-deletes" it before it's done.
Why is this a problem with 24.2.0esr and 26.0, but not 17.0.11esr? What can I do about it?
Thanks

You can try to create a new profile and keep both profiles open at the same time. 
You can do that by starting the second instance with the -no-remote command line switch (see further down).
Then you can do a copy and paste of the bookmarks in the Bookmarks Manager (Library) from the current profile to the Library of the new profile to create a new places.sqlite database file. 
If that works then you can copy this places.sqlite file to your current profile folder. 
You will lose the history, but it is possible to copy history items to a bookmarks folder in the new profile.
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
You can also opt to keep using the new profile and transfer some files from the old profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Creating_a_new_Firefox_profile_on_Windows
Use the -no-remote command line switch to open another Firefox instance with its own profile and run multiple Firefox instances simultaneously.

Hello, I just reinstalled Firefox 8.0 and imported my bookmarks.html backup file but the bookmarks toolbar didnt changed with my old bookmarks. Is that a problem or I have to manually add each bookmark again?

dunno what details to tell you, everything important is written in the question. thanks.

You'll have two Bookmarks Toolbar folders now. One from the installation of Firefox (the main one) and a 2nd folder from importing a bookmarks.html file.
Locate the '''''Bookmarks Toolbar''''' folder that is under the '''Bookmarks Menu''' folder and copy or drag'n'drop those bookmarks into the '''Bookmarks Toolbar''' folder that is above the '''Bookmarks Menu''' folder.

I want to change the file location for the automatic backup file bookmarks.file, but I can't find browser.bookmarks.file in the list on the about:config page.

I asked about automatic backup of bookmarks and received the following answer:You can make Firefox 3 create an automatic HTML backup (bookmarks.html) when you exit Firefox if you set the pref [http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML] to true on the about:config page. That backup is created by default in the profile folder as bookmarks.html, but you can set the file name and path via the pref [http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.bookmarks.file browser.bookmarks.file] on the about:config page. I went to about:config page and toggled browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML to “Yes” and it’s working. However, I want to change the file location, but I can’t find browser.bookmarks.file in the list.

The browser.bookmarks.file preference does not exist by default. Right-click in about:config and select "New > String" to create it.

Where do I find "bookmarks.html" on a MAC running 10.9.2?

Lost my bookmarks reloading FireFox. Had another MAC with all my bookmarks. How do I copy from one mac to another my bookmarks?

You can make Firefox create an automatic HTML backup (bookmarks.html) when you exit Firefox if you set the browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML pref to true on the about:config page.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML
That backup is created by default in the profile folder as bookmarks.html every time you close Firefox, but you can set the file name and path via the browser.bookmarks.file pref on the about:config page.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.bookmarks.file
The browser.bookmarks.file pref doesn't exist by default and you need to create a new String pref with the name browser.bookmarks.file and set the value to the full path of the backup bookmarks file.
Note: an HTML backup doesn't preserve tags and annotations, so you lose those if you need to import the HTML backup.

Exported Safari Bookmarks (Safari bookmarks.html) arrive in MyDocuments but not in Firefox, how to get them into Firefox Bookmarks?

Five months ago, I imported my Firefox bookmarks into Safari. In that time, I have added many bookmarks to many of the bookmark folders in Safari. Now, I am trying to import back into Firefox all of the existing Safari bookmark folders including the added bookmarks. Tried exporting from Safari using File, Export Bookmarks, which does get them into MyDocuments\Safari bookmarks.html, but I am unable to get them into Firefox where they would enable me to uninstall Safari and free up some room on my hard drive. Maybe they are there in Firefox, but need to Find them?

Did you import the HTML file?
* Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import HTML : "From File"
Bookmarks that you import are usually appended at the bottom of the Bookmarks Menu folder. 
If you do not see them there then try to use the search bar to see if they show up. 
If that also doesn't show them then it is likely that something went wrong with importing the bookmarks. 
Does that file display correctly if you open it via "File > Open File" in a Firefox tab?

How do I backup My bookmarks?

I am changing out my hard drive and need to backup my bookmarks on Carbonite

''If you use tags in your bookmarks,'' make sure to back up a recent .JSON file from your bookmarkbackups folder (or create a fresh backup). The .HTML export is an older format that is cross-browser compatible, but it doesn't include the tags.
To get the bookmarks from the .JSON file to your new Firefox, this article has the steps: [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]].

Why is there no "Show All Bookmarks" in my Bookmarks menu in Firefox 3.6.28--AS YOU SAID in how to export to Bookmarks.html??

I followed instructions on how to export my Firefox bookmarks to a Bookmarks.html,
BUT there is no Show All Bookmarks in my Bookmarks menu. I don't get it. I have Firefox 3.6.28,
which is the latest I can install on my PowerPC OS 10.4.11 Mac. Thank you.
I'm stuck without my Firefox bookmarks on my new iMac OS 10.8.

In Firefox 3.6.x it is named "Organize Bookmarks"
*Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Export HTML
Firefox 4 and later require a Mac with an Intel processor and OS X 10.6 (Firefox 16 runs on OS X 10.5).
*http://www.mozilla.org/firefox/19.0/system-requirements/
For an unofficial Firefox 17.0.3 ESR compatible version (TenFourFox) that runs on PowerPC Macs with OS X 10.4.11 or OS X 10.5.8 you can look at:

Since updating to FF 3.6.12 on my iMac, I have lost all my bookmarks, cannot make new bookmarks and cannot import from a saved bookmarks.html file, even after re-installing the program.

Running under mac OS X 10.5.8
Menu bar is present
Torbutton extension not present
Navigation buttons did not work, until I re-isntalled FF
FF "unable to restore backup file "- applies to all bookmark backup files
I next tried importing the bookmarks.html file I created last year to export them to my new notebook. 3.6.12 fails to import them back again.
The home page set in my preferences does not now come up when I load FF.

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Bookmarks_history_and_toolbar_buttons_not_working_-_Firefox
Make sure that you not run Firefox in permanent [[Private Browsing]] mode.
* You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
* To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Firefox > Preferences > Privacy, choose the setting Firefox will: Use custom settings for history
* Uncheck: [ ] "Permanent Private Browsing mode"

Doesn't load bookmarks from bookmarks.html

Hi, I exported my bookmarks to an .html like the tutorials say. Then I backed it up, reformatted, installed FF and tried to import my bookmarks.html file, and it just simply doesn't do anything other than nest another layer of the standard bookmarks ("Bookmarks Toolbar", "Recently Bookmarked", "RecentTags", "Get Bookmark Addons")... but none of my exported bookmarks.
I looked in my bookmarks.html file and it looks like they're all there, but it's just not importing them.
Any suggestions as to what could be wrong?

Did you previously export the bookmarks to an HTML file because Firefox doesn't do that by default.
Firefox no longer uses bookmarks.html to store the bookmarks. 
Firefox stores the bookmarks and the browser history in places.sqlite and no longer uses an HTML file or creates an HTML backup for the bookmarks. 
There are 10 daily rotating JSON backups in the bookmarkbackups folder within the Firefox profile folder, one for each day that Firefox is started.

Importing new bookmark html file without doubling bookmarks

I saved my bookmarks form my laptop in an html file. now I want to import that file into the bookmarks on Firefox on my netbook.
the files are basically the same but i have dded several new bookmarks because I was using my laptop and have not used my netbook in awhile.
how do I import the new html file without doubling the bookmarks that are already on my firefox which is running on my netbook. a lot of the folders are the same.

There is no option to just import the new bookmarks.
A few options.
# Import the HTML file, then use the CheckPlaces extension to remove the duplicates - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/checkplaces
# Use the Firefox Sync extension to synchronize the bookmarks - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/firefox-sync
# If you want bookmarks on the netbook to be replaced with those from the laptop used the method in the following link - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Backing+up+and+restoring+bookmarks
With the last method, you backup the bookmarks to a json file and import that file onto the netbook. When you restore a json file on the other computer it will remove all bookmarks that currently exist and replace them with those in the json file.

Firefox Bookmarks now in bookmarks.html format on iMac desktop

I have tried many different ways to get my old bookmarks into my iMac bookmarks and only managed to get them onto my desktop in a folder labeled "bookmarks.html" which opens as a webpage and is very wordy as it describes each bookmark.
Any suggestions as to how I can get them into my bookmarks? It has been over a month since I switched and I have started a new collection of bookmarks on the iMac.

The best audience for applets is people off the internet. 'People off the internet' might be using a computer that has no (what was it?) 'open.html' in the root of the C: drive. In fact (shock horror) they may not even be running Windows, and would therefore probably have no 'C:' drive at all.
If you do not intend to distribute this to people off the web, an application makes a lot more sense, but even then, you cannot rely on the document being there unless you 'put it there' (during installation, for instance).
As the other poster intimated, applets can load documents off the local disk as long as they are trusted. Here is an example*, but note that it is not so rash as to presume any particular path or file, and instead leaves it to the user to choose the document to display.
* The short code can be seen at SDNShare on the [Defensive Loading of Trusted Applets|http://sdnshare.sun.com/view.jsp?id=2315] post.
On the other hand, a sandboxed applet can load any document coming from its own server via URL, or get showDocument(URL) to work. In that case, the JRE must recognize that the URL is from its own server, so the best way to form URLs for applet use is via the URL constructor
new URL(getDocumentBase(), "path/to/open.html");That is how I form the URL in this [ sandboxed example of formatting source|http://pscode.org/fmt/sbx.html?url=/jh%2FHelpSetter.java&col=2&fnt=2&tab=2&ln=0]. Of course, in this case the applet loads the document, then parses the text to draw the formatted version, but the point is that an URL produced this way will work with showDocument(URL).
I am pretty sure showDocument() in an applet off the internet will work with an URL pointing to a foreign (not its own) server, but it will not be able to load documents off the end user's local disks.
I suggest a couple of things.
- Try to express this problem in terms of what feature it is that you want to offer the end user. Your question jumps directly to a bad strategy for achieving ..who knows what? An example of a feature is "Shows the applet 'help' files on pressing F1".
- A good way to indicate interest in a solution is to offer [Duke stars|http://wikis.sun.com/display/SunForums/Duke+Stars+Program+Overview] to match that interest.
Edit 1:
..and please figure out how to use the CODE tags.
