Export bookmarks -- favicons didn't show

I exported bookmarks from safari to a file, and used that file to import into Firefox and Opera. The bookmarks showed up, but without favicons. Is there a way to do it and keep the favicons?
I did that while in 10.3.9. Now that I have Tiger, would that make a difference?
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.4) 768 megs

Safari actually has a separate cache for the favicons (the Icons folder in the Library folder on Finder's Home page), so clearing Safari's regular cache won't clear the favicons. It used to be that clearing the favicons cache when it got really large would help speed up Safari. I don't know if that is still true or not - it has been at least a year since I cleared the favicons cache in Safari.
Clearing Firefox's cache clears the favicons, so you have to start collecting them all over again.

I put a Favicon on my website, which can be seen in the adress line and the tab header. However, when I add this site to the bookmarks, it doesn't show it's favicon.

I put a Favicon on my website, which can be seen in the adress line and the tab header. However, when I add this site to the bookmarks, it doesn't show it's favicon. I have tried deleting and creating a bookmark and also refreshing the webpage or clicking on the bookmark. I don't know what else to do. I use Firefox 4.0.1

I'm getting favicons for most of my bookmarks, so there might be some issue with the coding or the image format.
Do you use a tag like this in your page?
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/path/to/favicon.ico"/>

My Bookmarks toolbar does not show a Bookmarks Manager, so I can't export my bookmarks to a new computer.

I want to export my Bookmarks from Firefox on this computer to Firefox on my new computer. The Bookmarks Manager does not show on the Bookmarks toolbar. Where is it? How can I access it so I can use the export tool?
This computer is Windows Vista - my new one is Windows 7.

"Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks" has been renamed to "Show All Bookmarks" in Firefox 4 and later.

Firefox freezes trying to download or save files, Import/Export bookmarks, clicking (Tools) Options (was: Fire Fox crashes in Windows safe mode and in Firefox Safe mode)

Hi
XP sp3 4gb ram
Firefox 6.0.2
Firefox crashes every time I do any of the following. Then I have to force quit Fire fox.
If i click a download link on a web page, Firefox freezes the instant I click the link
...but Firefox does not freeze if I click a web link on a web page or page navigation link.
If i go to the Menu bar > Tools > Options, Firefox freezes the instant I select Options from the Tools menu.
...but Firefox does not freeze if select any other item from the Tools menu.
If I go to the Menu bar > File, Firefox instantly freezes the instant I select either "Save Page as..." or "Open file..."
...but Firefox does not freeze if I select any other option from the File menu such as: New Tab, New Window, Send Link, page Setup, Print, Exit etc
If I go the Menu Bar > Bookmarks > Show all Bookmarks > Import and Backup, Firefox instantly freezes the second I select "Import" or "Export"
... but Firefox does not freeze if I select any other command in the Bookmarks sub menus, nor does it freeze if I back out of the menu entirely.
Same as above for History if I select "Import" or "Export"
...so I have isolated the problem to a limited number of commands in Firefox that cause Firefox to freeze... described above. Everything else in Firefox works fine.
HERE IS A SUMMARY OF WHAT CAUSES THE FREEZING:
• Clicking a download link on a webpage
• Going to the Menu Bar > File and selecting "save as" or "Open File"
• Going to the Menu bar > Tools and selecting Options.
• Going to Bookmarks > Show all Bookmarks > Import and Backup and selecting either "Import" or "Export"
• Same as above for History if I select "Import" or "Export"
Everything else in Firefox works fine. I went through every menu command and checked for freezes. Only the commands I mentioned above cause the freezing.
I tried the following to try to fix it:
• Reset my modem and router (Problem still exists)
• Uninstalled FF. Deleted folders, profiles (Downloads.sqlite), Registry entries. Reinstalled. (Problem still exists)
• Restarted FF in Firefox safe mode. (Problem still exists)
• Restarted in Windows Safe mode and then started FF in Firefox safe mode (Problem still exists)
• Disabled Window firewall. Disabled ZoneAlarm firewall, Shutdown ZoneAlarm firewall. Set Internel Options to default settings. (Problem still exists)
• I reset the config option: browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone to false
What does work?
• Firefox does not crash when I click a link an go a website, navigate a page, use a menu item command.
• Firefox works fine on my other computer.
• Internet Explorer works fine on the computer that Firefox is having a problem on.
• My other applications work fine on the computer that Firefox is having a problem on.
I want to add that, I just overcame the XP Recovery Virus by following a post that suggested running the following software to fix the virus. Everything seems back to normal except Firefox.
The software I ran to fix the problem are listed below:
• malwarebytes
• superantispyware
• ccleaner
• combofix.
• smart defrag
• then load a good anti-virus. (I ran Zone Alarm virus scan)

Hi.
This is about a question you posted to the Firefox Support forum three months ago (I'm sorry you never got an answer).
Did you ever fix the problem where Firefox freezes or hangs, when clicking a download link or using (File menu) "save as" or "open file"? Or when going to the Firefox (Tools) menu and clicking Options ? Or trying to Import or Export bookmarks?
I found this thread searching for a solution for someone on MozillaZine's support forum who's having a similar issue. See this thread: (maybe something he's tried that didn't work for him will work for you?)

Why this new version of iTunes doesn't have Album Art or It didn't show up?

Why this new version of iTunes doesn't have Album Art or It didn't show up?
Also, in my iPod Touch 4th, it erase all album art from my iPod, then i tried to put again a new Album Art, ...download again from the image sites and still ...it didn't show up.? What a waste!
I waste all my time to set all album art on my iPod, then it just gone. kindly pls fix this issue. hate this new version of iTunes, so complicated.
The first thing i saw after i install new version of iTunes, it showed only music files. I don't know where to look for the old version of Sidebar. I keep on trying to look for it where I can see or any sign off button just to show up this stupid SideBar. Also, why i couldn't find? The "Menu Bar" is also hide!
Until i found out in "View" tab. Then i saw the Show Sidebar. Question? why do you need to hide that Side Bar? For what?. it is so so so complicated specially to those people who can't relate for this. (Also the button (from previous iTunes) to show the Album Art, now it's gone. I check every Tab, but there's no way to see the Album Art.)
Another comment. I download also some of my songs to my iPod, I wasted my time to collect all of my favorite music files. Also some are came from CD's and friends. I had all that favorite music in my iPod. Then the version iOS 5.+ came then I updated my iPod, another options to save files (iCloud) but I think there are something that I MISS about updating my iPod. Then suddenly I checked my iPod... all music (with Album Arts) are gone. All Apps are Gone. Videos as well.
If you don't know how to use that iCloud (with only 5GB storage), you'll gonna miss/lost everything.
Then I start all over again, i still have my BACK UP, good to have that. Now it's all set until I update the latest iOS 6. And another version of iTunes.
Then I realized my computer getting slow. I uninstalled it. My laptop started to work fast again. Then I download again the iTunes. So now I know, it has the ability to slow my computer. Everytime I turn on my iTunes, it hang. (Not Responding). Solution... CTRL+ALT+DELETE. Then every second time to open the iTunes, and it works. (it means, to open iTunes, need twice)
Then suddenly my laptop is not working. All my files has been corrupted. My Hard drive doesn't work properly. Now I don't have any stupid BACK UPs. My music files usage is 18 GB, only contacts, documents, notes, or some other files that can only fit to your "iCloud" not my 18GB music files and other photos. Your solution is to BUY more storage. Another COST! Another wasting time to set everything then need to pay more?
If you let your unit (iPod,iPhone,iPad) to export music to PC, or any mini SDcard to use as storage, it won't happen.
There is another....
It has Bluetooth, right?
Use less! Doesn't work. There's no way to use it.
All I need is to install an application to use your bluetooth. (for same unit or Apple unit only). And pictures only can send via Bluetooth if you an application.
Even if you go to "Photos" check if there's a way to send pictures? there is no way to send via Bluetooth, even Photos, Songs.etc. It can't even share some other friends (even they have own iPad, iPod, iPhone or same products) who has a unit with Bluetooth.
And the last.. only one port. there's no way to watch videos through HDMI. No HDMI port, no SD or any card slot. Must to buy their products.
Very costly!
I know (like iPod) it's very friendly to use it, but you must spend more money first before it can use.

Yes, the old album art view is gone, bu you can see the album art for a song that's playing by clicking on the art image and it will open a bigger view.
Everything else in your post is a waste. I'm not going to spend time reading it. If - and I repeat if, you have a question on how to get the best out of the new look iTunes, post it. But don't spend your time in long rambling negative rants.

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.

The bookmarks simply don't show in the sidebar. What is with this program, I thought it was supposed to be a good one. The bookmarks are totally unintuitive. How do you get any of your bookmarks to show?

I thought this program was supposed to be so great. The bookmarks are totally unintuitive. I tried to import favorites from Explorer, can only see them if I bring down the menu from the top and select imported bookmarks. When I select Organize bookmarks, it is empty. No bookmarks show at all on the left. Does this sidebar actually work? Can you bring your imported bookmarks onto the sidebar? Can you organize it the way you want in the order you want to see them, as you can in Explorer? I am no big fan of Exploroer, which is why I am trying Firefox, but if bookmarks cannot be easily used, the program is worthless. Any herlp would be appreciated.

Thanks - I had same problem with newly-imported Bookmarks from IE which didn't show in the sidebar. I have opened the Bookmarks Menu and all is OK.

Why is Bookmark Favicon Changer missing from the add-ons list?

The Bookmark Favicon Changer add-on is currently installed on my browser [ESR 31.2.0] and it seems to work, although imperfectly. Yet the add-on pages (https://addons.mozilla.org/) do not list it at all, as far as I can see. What's going on?

The developer was flaunting the rules that AMO operates under. AMO cut him some slack, and provided a month warning about uploading an updated version. '''Then''' that extension was downgraded, and after warning the developer again and not getting a response from the developer Mozilla disabled the listing for that extension. All he had to do was to upload a new "fixed" version to have that extension enabled again.
Fair or unfair, the rules are the rules. Violate the rules and you're liable to be tossed out. ''I use 6 different extensions that aren't hosted at AMO; two were pulled from AMO years ago due to "new rules" similar to what this developer didn't like and the other 4 were never hosted at AMO for one reason of another.'' And at least Mozilla doesn't do like some of the App stores and restrict add-ons to being installed '''only''' from the Mozilla Add-ons website or Market Place as will soon be known. Add-on developers still have the choice to host add-ons on their own website, and users still have the choice to install add-ons from any website that they want to.
As far as "notification" goes - why would Mozilla want to do that? Mozilla didn't like a "call" the developer was using, so why should Mozilla contact users? And how would Mozilla even go about contacting users? There's no "registry" of users for each extension that is kept by Mozilla, and IMO keeping track users like that would violate each users privacy. Who wants to be tracked in that manner?

How do I import/export bookmarks in firefox 4?

I am trying to copy bookmarks from an older computer to a new computer and I can't find import/export as in versions of Firefox. I am currently using version 4.

In the Bookmarks menu select "Show All Bookmarks", this opens the bookmarks manager and that includes menu options to import and export bookmarks.

If autocomplete data already previously has been saved in Firefox then adding autocomplete=off won't have effect since this data is already stored and you need to remove this manually via (Shift+) Delete.
If you are experimenting with code then you need to take this into account and possibly use forget about this site.
Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox from that domain like bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache, history, and exceptions, so be cautious and if you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make sure to backup this data or make a note.

Unable to export bookmarks

running Firefox 14.0.1
My FF became infected with the ClaroSearch toolbar & must be erased & reinstalled.
There is no option to export bookmarks anywhere: I've checked all tabs all bookmarks. This is a big oversight on the part of the developers. Every program should have the ability somewhere to save a copy of user data. There is no working data on the web about FF bookmarks backup

Can you open the Bookmarks Manager (Library)?
* Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks
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.

Export your HTML and then Just edit index.html with any text editor look for sentence <link rel="...................................>
Then delete all this sentence and copy this one
<link href="//PATH/favicon.ico" rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon">
PATH = Where you have your favicon.ico
I usually copy the favicon.ico in the folder images so the sentence will be like this
<link href="//mydomain.com/images/favicon.ico" rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon">
i hope it helps you

Lost bookmarks,only recent ones showing, the restore dates don't restore

Flashplayer had crashed. After rebooting and doing other things. I went to look at All Bookmarks and nothing was there. All I could get was under recent bookmarks. I went to import and backup and it didn't show the large number of bookmarks that I had under each of the dates, it showed around 45, I tried to restore those as of a recent date and afterwards nothing still shows under all bookmarks, but about 8 show up under recent bookmarks. How can I get all of them to appear under all bookmarks?

In the Library dialog, could you check the Unsorted Bookmarks folder?
To open the Library dialog, you can use either:
* Ctrl+Shift+b
* Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks
In the left column, you should see three "containers":
* Bookmarks Toolbar
* Bookmarks Menu
* Unsorted Bookmarks
The missing bookmarks might be in the third container. You can drag them to the menu.
Regarding the Restore feature, how far back do the backups go (dates listed on the menu)?
In case that doesn't sound familiar, please see: [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]].
