Firefox 4.0 no "manage bookmarks" no import html bookmarks?

When I go to your help files the answers are for versions prior to 4.0 In 4.0 there is no "manage bookmarks" selection on the menu. I want to import .html bookmark lists and .nab but all that comes up is IE.

Not sure why, but the manager/organizer was renamed to "Show All Bookmarks".

I can not get my IE 8 favorites over to Firefox (ver.25.0.1) bookmarks even after exporting IE fav. to html file and then in Bookmarks importing thru Manager!!

using XP professional, have hundreds of Favorites in IE 8. I can not get them over into Firefox either directly from the Bookmarks Manager (show all bookmarks/import and backup/Import data from another browser OR by exporting the Favorites in IE 8 to a html file (did) and then coming back over to Firefox Bookmarks and using the Bookmarks/show all bookmarks/import and backup/import bookmarks from html file. I find the file, double click it open BUT nothing happens in the Bookmarks Library???
It is not a case on some come over - nothing happens??

Did you try a search in the Bookmarks Manager (Library) for some know bookmarks?
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 had to create a new profile in Firefox and now, I can't access important data such as bookmarks which I desperately need.

After two days of not being able to open Firefox, I found an article on this website which suggested that I create a new profile. I followed the instructions (which never stated that I should first backup Firefox or my old profile) After creating the new profile, Firefox is once again working fine but, I am unable to access important data such as bookmarks and history.
I have followed several suggestion on this website but, I am still unable to find my old profile content.

As long as you did not uninstall Firefox and remove personal data, your old profile still should be in the same location. Depending on how messed up it was, here are two options:
'''(1) Use the profile manager to start Firefox up in your old profile and create a fresh bookmarks backup.''' If it didn't run, this won't be useful.
To start in a different profile, Exit out of Firefox and start it up from the Start menu, search box, using
firefox.exe -P
Your old profile may have a name like default.
Then you can create a fresh backup or export of your bookmarks (or both) to a neutral location (e.g., the Documents folder). These articles have the steps for creating these files:
* [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]]
* [[Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file to back up or transfer bookmarks]] (note: does not preserve tags you have assigned to bookmarks, if any)
Exit Firefox, use the profile manager to return to your new profile, then you can either restore the bookmark backup or import the HTML file. The difference is that a restore completely replaces whatever exists now, while an import adds to what you have now.
* [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]]
* [[Import Bookmarks from an HTML file]]
Success?
'''(2) Restore an old bookmark backup.''' Firefox creates these files regularly, but it might not be perfectly complete.
To access the old files, I suggest starting from your current (new) profile folder. You can open that from within Firefox using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
* (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
* type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button. This should launch a new window showing your ''current'' settings files. Using the address bar of that window, click up to the Profiles folder level and then double-click into your old profile folder, then into its bookmarkbackups folder. Copy the latest backup file to a neutral location (such as your Documents folder).
Back in Firefox, try to restore the older backup. Note: this will completely replace your bookmarks in this profile, so if you have saved new bookmarks you want to save, please perform the optional steps in the following list:
* Optional (preserve new bookmarks): [[Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file to back up or transfer bookmarks]]
* [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]] - use Choose File to go to your Documents folder to get the old backup
* Optional (add new bookmarks to the restored set): [[Import Bookmarks from an HTML file]]
Success?

I have Firefox 7.0.1 and it has no bookmark transfer feature that I can see. It used to have a Manage Bookmarks but that seems to have vanished. I am trying to transfer my bookmarks from my Imac to my Macbook Pr0 can you no longer do that?

hello,
It would be 'Bookmarks' > 'Show All Bookmarks' and in the window that appears there is an 'Import and Backup' menu on the top. Click that and then choose 'Export Bookmarks to HTML..'. Now on the other PC it would be the same procedure except for the last, where now you have to choose 'Import Bookmarks from HTML...'.

Firefox 8.0.1 where do you import bookmarks? Cant find the import or thr bookmark organizer

In Firefox 8.0.1, where is the import feature to import bookmarks from another browser or a back up of bookmarks on a dvd. Also, there does not appear to be a bookmark manager to organize or edit bookmarks.
operating system is windows xp home edition 2002 service pack 3

I have no bookmarks in Firefox 4 and can't restore or import any.

After I upgraded (?) to Firefox 4, I opened Bookmarks - Show All Bookmarks and it was empty. None of my bookmarks, no default bookmarks, no bookmarks at all. Weird, but easy to fix, or so I thought. I went to Import and Backup, Restore, and picked a date two days old. I got the expected This will replace all of your current bookmarks with the backup. Are you sure? and clicked OK. It immediately pops up Unable to process the backup file. Next I tried the same with two more dates with the same results.
Okay, let's try to import. Selected Import HTML then From HTML file and selected the one I created before I updated Firefox. I could see the bookmarks in the preview pane at the right, so I know they are there. I click Open and the dialog box goes away, but no bookmarks. No error message, no bookmarks.
I then picked a website, went there and clicked Bookmark This Page. I tried this with a few pages. No bookmarks, none, not one.
I uninstalled Firefox and installed it again, watching carefully for errors, problems, anything. It seemed to go fine, but still no bookmarks. I tried all the above steps and got the same results. I tried Firefox Safe Mode and once again, you guessed it, no bookmarks.
I looked in support and the forums. All I found was people who were unhappy with Firefox 4 and the advice Go to Import and Backup . . . yeah, that doesn't work.
I returned to Firefox 3.6.13 and did a restore from two days ago and it worked fine. I had bookmarked a site since that date, so next I imported from the HTML file I created before this mess all started and that worked fine as well. This proved that the HTML file and the JSON file were not the problem. I'll stay with Firefox 3.6.13 until they fix this problem with Firefox 4.

I can no longer find a manage bookmarks tab anywhere in my (the latest) Firefox browser.

I have been using browsers for over 15 years, and Firefox for about 10. After the next to last Firefox upgrade I was no longer able to find a manage bookmarks tab. I can bookmark a page and place it in an existing folder, but I can no longer create folders, arrange tabs alphabetically in a folder or delete folders. I have searched everywhere for help, but found none on point.
By the way, it was very annoying that after I had typed in a question about the same as above, I then went to Troubleshooting Information and tried to find help, but when I was unable to do so and I returned to this page, my question was gone and I had to start over again.

OK working now ... for some reason the bookmarks screen was behind the Firefox screen ... duh .... how about renaming this function something which indicates it has an edit function? Like in the past ...

Firefox can't read any Bookmark that was imported from my PC with file extension .url. Safari reads them fine. Is there a fix, so I can use Firefox instead of Safari? Many thanks if so. I have the latest version of Firefox

Hello JF.
I don't think that extension is supported. I believe Firefox can only read .json and .html.

I don't have Manage Bookmarks in Firefox 4.

I want to delete something from the bookmarks list, and in researching it, I discovered I don't have manage bookmarks. Help!

'''Manage/Organize Bookmarks''' has been renamed to '''Show All Bookmarks''' in Firefox 4.
''corrected a spelling error''

I am using Firefox 6 and cannot delete bookmarks. I cannot find an option for "manage bookmarks". This is very baffling.

I cannot seem to figure out how to delete certain bookmarks. I have read articles on line and they all refer to a "manage bookmarks" option. I do not have that option in my Bookmarks tab.

Tutorial for managing bookmarks in iPhone environment?

I hate asking newbie questions but here goes. Searched for this but found threads regarding desktop environment.
When I open Safari on my iPhone 3CS, I see bookmarks imported from my pc when I synched. Don't need all those so deleted most. Here's the problem: if I type in a new address in Safari addres field at top, and go to that page, then do Add Bookmark, it doesn't show up the next time I open Safari and look at the bookmarks. If I start to re-type it in the address field, the full link and title appear below, so I know it's storing it somewhere.
Can someone just point me toward an online tutorial for manageing bookmarks within the iPhone environment not the desktop?
Thanks!

it's one of the dangers to BYOD.....The best way to manage this is education(unless you are ready for MDM).
Granted that can be a bigger pain in the buttocks than working around it.
What I tell people(having had this happen to me a couple of times) is when it's time to change your password
1.) Make sure you have all your devices with you
2.) disable the wireless on everything
3.) change password via your laptop
4.) enable one device, and go change the password there < rinse repeat for subsequent devices.
Now, when the company I was working for moved to a MDM, the issue went away on my phone and tablet, as the mail settings were controlled by the MDM, so when i changed my password, it pushed to my other devices.
HTH,
Steve

In Firefox 4, "Organize Bookmarks" has been changed to "Show All Bookmarks" to open the Library window.

I want to know how Mozilla FireFox knew all of my bookmarks, etc from my laptop when I installed it for the first time on my desktop.

What sort of tools are you using to track me? How did you know it was me? My iCloud account? My iTunes account?

If your stolen laptop continues to Sync with Mozilla's servers, you might have access to information about some of the browsing activity on that laptop, such as browsing history, new bookmarks, and new saved passwords. However, I suspect that iCloud is a more powerful tracking tool than Firefox Sync.
For your security on your new PC, you probably should create a new Firefox profile. One way to do this with minimal transitional pain is the use the Reset feature. This duplicates certain key data from your active settings folder into a new one, bypassing some add-ons and custom settings.
More information in this article: [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]].
Do not sync your ''new'' profile with your ''old'' Sync account.
To access your old profile for any purposes, such as to delete any saved passwords or see whether you get any new data, you can switch back and forth using Firefox's Profile Manager. This article describes how to start Firefox in the profile manager. I do not recommend removing anything until you are 110% certain that you will never need any of that profile's data in the future. [[Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles]].

My manage bookmark line has disappeared from my bookmarks menu. How can I get it back?

on the dropdown "Bookmarks" menu tag on the firefox menu bar there used to be a line that read "Manage bookmarks. I used this to move the bookmarks around etc. That line.."Manage Bookmarks" is no longer on the list with "Bookmark this Page," "Show all bookmarks" etc. Have no idea how to get it back...and I cannot put some new bookmarks into alphabetical order as a result.

You can use "Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks" to access the Bookmarks Manager (Library) instead of Organize or Manage Bookmarks.

Manage Bookmarks on Preview application

Hi there,
does anybody know, how to manage bookmarks on preview application?
I want to group my bookmarks in different folders or how can I highlight pages or sth. like this?

ideato, thank you for your reply. perhaps I am missing it, but I cannot find anything in these articles about how to create bookmark folders on Firefox/Android, not how to move bookmarks between folders. I can see how to sync bookmarks to desktop, organize them into folders on desktop, and then sync the folders back to phone. I am hoping for something that can be done just on the phone.
