FF 30,MBP OS 10.9.3 Bookmarks are EXORTED as a 0TEXT file, NOT a 0

Bookmarks File is exported as a TEXT file, NOT as a HTML file. Only FF v30 is running.
system is a macbook pro, os 10.9.3, 8GB ram, 2.6 GHz Intel, I7, 1600 MHz, DDR3

Is this a problem with the internal format of the file -- it's just plain text inside -- or with Firefox not naming the file with a .html extension? You should be able to fix the file name as needed, although I use Windows, so this might be different on Mac.

  • Acrobat bookmarks are lost when resaving the file

    Hi,
    I am converting a docx to pdf using Save as --> PDF --> clicking on options and selecting create bookmarks using headings and publish.
    The conversion is done perfectly. However after encrypting, or changing a name of a bookmark and saving after that, the bookmark links are lost. When I right click on any bookmark and checking there link, there is nothing.
    I noticed that if I use Microsoft Word 2007 with SP2 this problem is resolved. However, I have various pdfs already converted (and don't have the original doc) which I need to encrypt. However this is not possible to do so as they lose their bookmarks.
    Is there a solution for this?

    I am seeing a similar bug in Acrobat, and I am seeing it in both Acrobat 7 and Acrobat 9.
    If I have an open PDF, and I choose File > Save As, then rename the PDF, all bookmarks are lost.
    Gone. Poof. Bye-bye.
    If I rename the file in Windows Explorer, the bookmarks are retained just fine.
    This happens without exception. Every PDF file.
    I simply cannot use the File > Save As command at all. Ever.
    First detected it in Acrobat 7, and I am still seeing this behavior in Acrobat 9.

  • Bookmarks are added even though I've not requested them.

    Whenever I click on Bookmarks>Recently added a whole list of pages appear that I have not bookmarked. I then have to go and delete each and every one, one at a time. This is annoying, as it then takes forever to find my recent bookmarked pages. I can't find a help article to find the answer to this problem.

    Are you sure that you haven't clicked the star on the location bar?
    Problems with bookmarks and history not working properly can be caused by a corrupted places.sqlite database file.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Bookmarks_history_and_toolbar_buttons_not_working_-_Firefox
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Bookmarks+not+saved#w_fix-the-bookmarks-file
    You can try to check and repair the places database with this extension:
    *https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/places-maintenance/
    * "Most Visited" and "Recently Bookmarked" are examples of the so called [[Smart Bookmarks folders]] and are not real existing folders.
    * Such smart folders show a list created by a query of the places.sqlite database that stores the bookmarks and the history in Firefox.
    * Smart folder lists show a maximum of 10 entries by default.
    * Bookmarks that show up in a smart folder list are stored elsewhere in another folder and any changes made are applied to the real bookmark or history item.
    * If you remove an entry then the list is shifted up and a new entry that wasn't shown previously is added to show 10 entries.
    * If you add a new bookmark or visit a website then a new item is added at the top and the entry at the bottom disappears from that list.
    * Items that disappear from the list are not gone, but merely do not show up anymore in that list.

  • Please clarify the purpose of sync. I thought of it as a backup tool and reinstalled windows and now years of bookmarks are lost. This hurts!

    I would like you to please verify the purpose of sync more clearly in the future. I had to reinstall windows and thought I could use sync to save my bookmarks. Now years of bookmarks are lost because the program was not specific in telling me about the recovery keys until it was too late. This put a huge dent in my productivity and really sets me back. I realize that nothing can be done at this point but please clarify this for others so that it doesn't happen again. This really sucks!

  • Bookmarks are always displayed and we don't want them.

    When I open any pdf file, bookmarks are always displayed. I do not use bookmarks, and would like to turn that feature off.  How do I disable them from opening automatically when I open a document?

    (This may or may not work) I found it in anothert thread.
    SOLUTION for hiding navigation panel in Adobe:
    1. When the navigation panel is opened, left-click and drag each individual icon to the right so that you pull it off the navigation panel and they each become bigger floating pop-up windows.
    2. Now continue doing this for all icons until the navigation panel is entirely gray.
    3. Click on the "X" in the upper right hand side until you close all those pop-up windows.
    4. Right click on the navigation panel gray area and click "hide".
    5. Now that navigation panel will be gone whenever you open up Adobe.
    I've found in both Windows and Mac  that if I close the panel and then close Reader, it doesn't open again.

  • I want to import my bookmarks from my old hard drive to my new computer. Old hard drive is in new computer as secondary drive, can't run firefox from it. Would like to find the file where my bookmarks are stored

    have looked in the old hard drive for the file where my favorites would be stored. the only file that I can find is not the latest. I did not back up my favorites on the old computer.

    Bookmarks are no longer stored in an html file. Instead, they are stored in a file called '''places.sqlite''' in your '''Profile''' folder.
    # Locate the '''places.sqlite''' file in your old hard drive.
    # Copy it into the '''Profile''' folder of your new hard drive.
    # Note that since you would be overwriting the places.sqlite in your new drive, your current bookmarks/history etc would be overwritten by the ones in the old drive.
    For more information, see these articles:

  • What is a "live bookmark," and how can I make sure none of my bookmarks are live?

    I'm trying to reduce Firefox's voluminous automatic Internet communication (see previous thread at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/968773#question-reply for background). As far as I know, I have not subscribed to any news-feeds nor clicked on "subscribe to this page."
    One thing I don't understand is how to tell whether any of my bookmarks are "live," or whether any of the sites I normally visit automatically refresh their open pages on my browser. I can find no entries on Mozilla Support that even explain what a "live bookmark" is.
    Can somebody please:
    1) define a "live bookmark,"
    2) tell me how to identify one in my bookmarks sidebar (or elsewhere),
    3) tell me how to change any "live bookmark" into and ordinary (dead) bookmark, and
    4) tell me how to prevent any open Web pages from automatically updating on my browser? (Internet Explorer used to have options for when a page should be updated, including "never.")
    I'm currently running Firefox 24.0 under Windows XP SP3. Thanks in advance! -- JCW2

    See the [[How to stop Firefox from automatically making connections without my permission]] article.
    Live bookmarks, are not enabled by defualt, unless you enable them (the item will always show).

  • Tried to update firefox to 9.0.1, did not work, tried to go back to 8.0.1, now it will not browse and no bookmarks are showing.

    I got message that a Firefox browser update was available. I tried to update a couple times and got message that another Firefox browser was running on my computer, so I tried removing version 8.0.1 and used Internet Explorer to download Firefox 9.0.1 and install it. I had saved what I thought was my bookmarkbackups folder on a separate hard drive. The new version would never load or open and kept giving me .dll files that were missing, so I uninstalled that version 9.0.1 and tried going BACK to Firefox v 8.0.1 . Now that will open but will not browse to any sites, not even Google, and all my bookmarks are not showint even though I pasted them from the hard drive copy to the bookmarkbackups folder. Can someone help me get Mozilla Firefox working again and how to import my bookmarks?
    Also, when Firefox opens I get this message every time:
    "Alert:
    Could not initialize the application’s security component. The most likely cause is problems with files in your application’s profile directory. Please check that this directory has no read/write restrictions and your hard disk is not full or close to full. It is recommended that you exit the application and fix the problem. If you continue to use this session, you might see incorrect application behaviour when accessing security features."

    I went to the link you said to and then clicked on the "Firefox Free Download, 9.0.1 for Windows, English (US)" and that took me to ''http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/products/download.html?product=firefox-9.0.1&os=win&lang=en-US'' which had another limk to click on to start the download.
    The file downloaded but when I tried to run it my AntiVirus (ZoneAlarm) said that it was corrupt. So I removed that file and downloaded another from the same site and ZoneAlarm said that was infected and a contained possible malicious virus.
    So now I have no Mozilla Firefox and do not know how to get it back in a version that will run.
    Anyone, please help if you can.

    AFAIK, no.

  • I can't clear recent history. It worked on 6.0 but on 6.0.2 I can't do this. Also my bookmarks are lost. How can I fix it? Old bookmark archives don't work. Error: Can't read data.

    The day I updated my Firefox to version 6.0.2, I had some problems. The first time I want to clear recent history as "everything" Firefox cleared my all bookmarks and history page (Ctrl + H or Ctrl + Shift + H) but visited websites are still on address bar. They are on Firefox Menu > History section. Bookmarks are not important, how can we fix Clear Recent History function?
    Troubleshooting Information is in Turkish, if it is not useful I can send that text in English. Please send an e-mail for this.

    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • Maverick has messed up my computer. Slow scrolling in I photo. Bookmark icons are blue all the time and not marked with the company symbols. I cannot find out how to solve this.

    I switched to Mavericks two weeks ago and have had nothing but troubles. Scrolling in I photo is slow and very inaccurate. When I click and drag a photo the ones above it all flicker, making it hard to find where to put it. My bookmarks bar Icons are all blue. Before they used to show the symbol for the company they represented. Now I click on one, it changes to what I want, then a few minutes of hour later, it goes back to the blue ball, which I hate. My font size is different with every page and I have to click Zoom in all the time. I tried adjusting it in Preferences in Advance settings on the right, but this does not solve the problem permanetly. I have one web page, a hockey one, which tries to load, then I get either a black page or a white one. Driving me nuts. I need some help. Been to Apple at the store, talked to them on the phone for four hours last week. Rebuilt the I photo library with no luck. Would appreciate any help. Please Thanks. I even keep a fan behind my computer to keep it cool, that is how much I look after this baby. Some say it might be Safari? Not sure. I have little computer experience, so please it you are kind enough to reply, do not use tech talk or short forms as I will not understand any of it.

    Rick,
    I have a few of your issues as well: 1) Safari popular icons are all bue making them very hard to distinguish from each other. 2) My font size is also different with each page / window.        What I have been able to find out is that in the Maverick OS - Apple removed one size of display resolution 2048 x 1152. Whether this is the cause of my 27" screen clarity & font size issues, I do not know - but it seems like a contributing factor.  Maybe help is on the way - maybe not. Cheers

    hello sofg777, when you're at a page you want to print try to press ctrl+P and select a different printer than the Microsoft XPS Document Writer which seems to be set as your default printer in firefox at the moment.
