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.<br />
If you do not see them there then try to use the search bar to see if they show up.<br />
If that also doesn't show them then it is likely that something went wrong with importing the bookmarks.<br />
Does that file display correctly if you open it via "File > Open File" in a Firefox tab?

I have done what it said in a previous question and exported my IE RSS feeds, but I can't understand how to import them into FireFox ot how to view them once they are imported.

In a previous question, someone asked hoe to import RSS feeds from IE to FireFox:
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/forum/1/358684?s=rss&as=q
I have done as it says, but had trouble with the second step which was "installing OPML Support 1.5.2 extension for Firefox, which you can use to import OPML file you just exported from IE". I think I installed the extension, but now what? how does it help me import the feeds? And where do i view RSS feeds in FireFox?

I formatted my hard drive and have tons of bookmarks I saved, but I can't figure out how to get them from my old folder into my new folder for my bookmarks.

I formatted my hard drive and backed up all my bookmarks to an external hard drive. I now want to take my bookmarks from my external hard drive and put them into my freshly formatted computer but I can't seem to find the place on my hard drive to save my bookmarks to. I searched everywhere online and it keeps telling me to import an html, but that doesn't help when I have about 20 bookmark folders and about 100 bookmarks altogether. Please help. Thank you.

'''''"... I have about 20 bookmark folders and about 100 bookmarks altogether. " '''''
Firefox doesn't store bookmarks like that, sound like a Windows / IE favorites scheme used for '''''url''''' files and folders which isn't directly compatible with the way Firefox does things. Firefox uses a '''json''' file for bookmark backups, a '''bookmarks.html''' for import and export is bookmarks, and stores the users bookmarks in the '''places.sqlite''' file, along with browsing history.
Put those folders and bookmarks in the '''\user\Favorites\''' folder so they are in IE and export your IE Favorites in HTML format, so you can import them into Firefox.
In IE:
File > Import/Export - Export to HTML file
''then in Firefox:'' <br />
Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks -> Import & Backup - Import HTML... = From HTML file

I am trying to open PDF files from safari, but when I click on them they open in a separate window and the information is encrypted. Any ideas on how to get them to open them in Adobe? Any help please!

The pdf is loading as html code. If you save it, it will download as :
605124.pdf.html
Change the extension to .pdf
And it opens and works perfectly, I just tested it:

ID CS3 export to PDF - how to get superscripts into bookmarks ?

I'm exporting my InDesign (CS3 Design Standard) file to PDF, and the headings are all nicely showing up in the bookmarks, but the superscript chars in my headings (such as the trademark symbol) are showing as regular chars in the resulting PDF bookmarks.
Anyone know if it's possible to get superscripts into the PDF bookmarks? Either directly from InDesign's export function or after-the-fact w/Acrobat?
I'm using Acrobat 7.0 Standard on Win XP, but if this is do-able with Professional or a later version, I'm open to upgrading.
(I asked the same question in the InDesign forum, and it was suggested that I ask here in the Acrobat forum.)
Many thanks,
-Monique

>superscript chars [..] (such as the trademark symbol)
There is some dispute over a trademark symbol being superscript or not. In some fonts it is, in others not. Therefore, for some fonts you need to apply "superscript" and in others not.
>[..] showing as regular chars in the resulting PDF bookmarks
That's the way it is. You cannot apply formatting to bookmark text. You
i can
change the font (I seem to rembember), but that doesn't help -- it's a global change.
If you desperately positively need some characters to be in superscript, check the character map for (I think) Arial Unicode. There is a tiny set of characters that has a superscript form: ¹²³ -- but do check if they appear the same in Acrobat.

I did not make any recent changes, but now instead of having my bookmarks bar, I have an empty space instead. Any idea how to get it back?

As of last weak, my bookmarks toolbar has been completely missing. I checked my toolbars, and it is definitely one of the ones marked to show. I checked my bookmarks, and nothing has been deleted. I'll appreciate it if anyone can tell me how to get it back, instead of the empty space that I now have.

Just did some experimenting and I fixed it on my computer! My pointer is back to normal!
For me, the problem was caused by the Adobe PDF Viewer plugin in Safari. I noticed that when I would hit F3 for Expose, there was a blank window that said "Adobe PDF Viewer" attached to Safari, but when I tried to click on the window to open it, nothing would happen. I figured this might be causing my issue.
Then I found out that the Adobe PDF plugins aren't supported on the new versions of Safari, so I uninstalled them. Here's how:
1. Go to the folder : Your Hard Drive / Library / Internet Plug-ins.
2. If you see the files AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin and AdobePDFViewer.plugin, drag them to the trash.
3. Restart Safari. Pointer issue should be fixed.
I hope this helps!!

Safari 3.04 with Tiger crashes on page but not Firefox

Safari 3.04 on 10.5.1 crashes on page while Firefox has no problems! Safari with previos OS dir not crash on same page.

Is this a known scenario ?

I have a very simple test case for this. Go to the following really simple form and submit it without with or without typing anything in the text box ...

It doesn't matter what the form processor does, because the form is never submitted. This is a super simple HTML page, and it crashes Safari every time (after installing the latest security update, but not before).

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

I used to be able to save all open tabs to a folder in Bookmarks, but cannot figure out how to do that in Firefox 4.0.

Older versions of Firefox allowed the user to save all open tabs to a folder in Bookmarks with one touch (not laboriously bookmarking each tab), so if Firefox did not remember your tabs when re-opening your browser after closing down for the night, you could at least re-open each tab if you'd been clever enough to save them to a Bookmarks folder. I still have my Bookmarked folders full of tabs from previous months, so I know I'm not imagining this useful Bookmark function.
I cannot find this function, Save All Tabs (I think that's what it was called,) under Bookmarks anymore.

THANK YOU! So easy, now I feel stupid. ;)
Sorry, Firefox 4.0 is driving me nuts in many ways, this is just one of them.

Exporting from Flash to FLV, docs say you can, but not how.

The Help files state that you can export animations from Flash to FLV. I'm in CS5 Pro and cannot find ANY way to do that...
Alternatively, you can use Flash to create animations for use in movies. You can create an animation in Flash. You can export the animation as an FLV or F4V file. Then, you can import the FLV or F4V file into Adobe Premiere Pro for editing. In Adobe Premiere Pro, for example, you could add titles or mix the animation with other video sources.

Are these documents wrong??
I can render to QuickTime and the encode, but I lose the linking on click to a url...
Thanks in advance for some guidance.
BTW, it really should be a lot easier in this "Pro" package to create items for YouTube for advertising purposes. Youtube accepts .FLV (Adobe - FLV1 video codec, MP3 audio) but not SWF

then you can't export an flv from flash. the help docs are incorrect.
i added a correction to the help docs. hopefully, the adobe technical writers will fix that will a future edit of those docs.

Illustrator extention export PDF file as PSD worked on Windows XP but not on Windows 7

We have a extension that convert files to CMYK PSD with color profile attached. It worked fine (for most of files) on Windows XP but not on Windows 7.
var expOpt: ExportOptionsPhotoshop = new ExportOptionsPhotoshop();
expOpt.resolution = 300;
expOpt.imageColorSpace = ImageColorSpace.CMYK;
expOpt.embedICCProfile = true;
doc.exportFile( psdFile, ExportType.PHOTOSHOP, expOpt );
above code never throw any exception on Windows7, but just no file been saved. It only happened to convert PDF to PSD.
If I manually open file in Illustrator (win7) and export it as PSD, I got ‘not enough memory’ error. I googled a solution make the manual exporting worked but still the extension didn’t work.
The solution for manual operation is set ‘additional plug-in folder’ for preferences-> plug-ins& Scratch disks’.
Any advice?
Thanks!
Ling

I apologize for not having an answer. I just wanted to chime in and say that I am having the exact same issue. I have never had this before. It's happened ever since I had my hard drive replaced and Illustrator has been reinstalled, so I am assuming that it's a preference somewhere that I have missed?

I downloaded 'bookmarks.html' from another Firefox and the book marks don't merge with my existing ones nor will they replace them. How do I get them into a SINGLE 'unsorted bookmarks' file?

My O/S is Windows Vista.
Please explain baby-step-by-baby-step in 'kindergarten' language, will you?

Thanks for the response, cor-el....Seems like I've seen your name and help on the Secunia forum, maybe? And it does seem like I have a separator, but that is not the case. After opening the manager, and all bookmarks, the "Bookmarks Menu", by double clicking, shows 4 separators, and the fourth section has two alphabetized lists, (without a separators) The first list is about thirty, and the second list of all the rest, 100+. I've looked all through the two referrals you mention, and nothing fits. I just downloaded the "SortPlaces" add-on and will see if that works out just to get around the "short list" that tends to throw me off in looking up bookmarks in the main (longer list). Thanks for your suggestions, I will let you know how it works out, but tonite I am ready for the sack....manana..
PS. I am including a screenshot that shows how it is organized, with the short list on the top, and the start of the "A's" on the longer list....(couldn't get any more on the page for the screenshot)

When I'm in Safari, it automatically opens new tabs that I did not request. How do I stop this?

Help! Every time I do a new search or open a bookmarked page in Safari, another tab/window opens up with different ads. How do I stop this? It's so annoying!

Switching from MSN to firefox, how do I retrieve my favorite bookmarks? I haave tried the procedure outlined but I am not getting my favorite folders.

I have tried to import my Favorites from MSN (Internet Explorer) but I am not getting the bookmarks that I have available on MSN

Go to the "Convert bookmark file" web page at http://www.linkagogo.com/go/Convert?informat=msn&outformat=netscape to convert the MSN Explorer file '''favorites.xml''' ('''input''' format) into a "Netscape (also Mozilla and Firefox)" HTML file ('''output''' format) . (If you have problems locating the "favorites.xml" file on your computer, read the "MSN Explorer users" section of the web page and [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_foldersthis article].) After converting, use "File -> Save Page as" to save the output. You can then import the HTML file you just saved into your Mozilla browser using the "[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Import_bookmarks#From_file Import from file]" feature of the Bookmarks Manager (see above). You can alternately try the MSN Favorites Export Toolkit, available from http://www.mainsoft.fr/en/downloads.htm to convert the MSN Explorer file (favorites.xml) into a Netscape bookmarks file (bookmark.htm) which you can then import into your Mozilla browser (details [http://www.tutorials-win.com/IE/favourites-1835/ here]).
