Firefox Android, how can I save a bookmark to one of my desktop bookmark folders?

On Firefox in Android I can see all of my desktop bookmark folders.
I want to be able to bookmark a site and to save that bookmark in one of my desktop bookmark folders rather than the 'Mobile Bookmarks' folder.
Is this possible?
If not is it an issue with Firefox that could be addressed with an add-on, or is it an issue with Android?

It is not possible. It should be possible to find the bookmark by typing a few letters of the name or URL of the bookmark.
The other option is to use Firefox Sync and organize your mobile bookmarks on desktop Firefox. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-set-up-firefox-sync

  • I am receiving a "couldn't load XPCOM" error. I know that I can reinstall Firefox but how do I save my bookmarks?

    I am receiving a "couldn't load XPCOM" error. I know that I can reinstall Firefox but when I went to do that it erased all of my bookmarks so I did a system restore. How do I save my bookmarks?

    Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
    *Download the full Firefox installer and save the file to the desktop<br>https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
    If possible uninstall your current Firefox version to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
    *Do NOT remove "personal data" when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords including data in profiles created by other Firefox versions.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
    *(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
    Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure NOT to remove personal data when you uninstall Firefox as that will remove all Firefox profile folders and you lose your personal data.
    If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

  • How can I save my bookmarks toolbar

    I am reformating my hard drive and want to save my bookmarks toolbar in firefox. How can I do this so I can reload it when I reinstall it?

    See https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Backing+up+and+restoring+bookmarks
    You can back up more than just the bookmarks - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Backing+up+your+information

  • Bookmarks have disappeared on two machine unable to restore from backup folder in Firefox. How can I restore my bookmarks?

    All my bookmarks have disappeared on two machines. I tried used the restore function it did not work, and I tried to updated my Plugins and for some reason Firefox would not register the updates . How can I restore my bookmarks?

    Immediately backup the profiles on both machines. Keep the profile backup files and folders somewhere safe outside the Firefox program and profile paths. The Windows Desktop would be a suitable location.
    * see [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
    * also note the information on bookmarks [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]]
    Do you use Firefox sync ?
    *[[Firefox Sync - Take your bookmarks, tabs and personal information with you]]
    that is not itself a backup, but you may consider the synced second device to be a backup
    Restored bookmarks overwrite the existing bookmarks. You may still have some left, but unfortunately you could have overwritten most or all of them with corrupt copies. If you backup the profile at least you have access to copies of whatever automatic backups were made. Note in future that it is good practice to periodically make backups.
    Post back again once you have backed up the profiles, and read the linked articles.

  • How can I save a DVD I have to my desktop?

    How can I save a DVD that I have previously bought, recorded or burned from TV onto my MacBook Air?

    1) How can I simply drag photos from albums onto my desktop?
    select the photo and drag it to the desktop  --  or export it to the desktop (file menu ==> export)
    2)does anybody know how to change the email setting for "from"?  When I attempt to share a photo and email it to someone, I cant because I have no idea of the information in my "from" box.  Therefore I dont have the password to send it.  How can I change that setting?
    to change account information iPhoto preferences ==> accounts  --  or better yet IMHO just set the e-mial client to Apple Mail rather than the default iPhoto and send using mail
    In the lower right hand corner grab the corner of the window and drag it to the size you want
    LN
    3) how do I minimize my iphoto screen so I can see other pages on my desktop simultaneously?

  • How can I save individual songs to one album?

    I have an album and the  iTunes split it into separate songs. How do I save them back to one album?
    Please help its keep happening. I installed and reinstalled I tunes several times, but no change.

    This is a tagging issue and usually happens when songs on the album have different artists.
    Setting a common Album Artist will usually correct this.
    If it does not then make sure all the other fields for the songs on the album are the same, obviously, except for title and track number.
    You can edit the tag info here:
    In iTunes, Right-click on a song > Get Info > Info

  • Docs&settings only shows bookmarks from Int Explorer used previously, not Moxilla. How can I save the bookmarks which are shown correctly when using MF?

    I want to save my bookmarks as I have done periodically since 2000 using Xp.
    For copying to F drive or USB, procedure is open C drive, Documents and settings, my name, Favorites
    I have hundreds of sorted bookmarks which I update fairly often.
    Changed to MF about five years ago.
    It looks like nothing has been added to the Favorites within Documents and Settings since then - all have the blue Int. Explorer logo, none in Moxilla colours.
    I was unaware of this as all bookmarks are shown correctly to left of desktop.

    There are three basic options
    #You can backup the bookmarks in a form that Firefox can use. And these include any tags with them.<br />See [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]]
    #Firefox stores History in the same database: '''places.sqlite'' the whole of that or even the whole of the profile may be backed up if necessary. <br /> See [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
    #You may back them up by '''export / import''' as HTML. These are the same sort of files as is used for IE favourites / favorites. (These will append or tack on to existing bookmark collections) <br />See [[Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file to back up or transfer bookmarks]]
    CARE if you restore bookmarks from a backup it overwrites your existing bookmarks so always back them up manually before doing any restore.
    Firefox creates its own library of bookmarks. It is possible to add HTML files from IE to these. You will not be able to make sense of Firefox's .json or .sqlite files other than by allowing them to be used within Firefox. The HTML files may probably be opened directly by Firefox or some other programs such as Word Processors.

  • How can I save my bookmarks, and email them?

    I would like to save my bookmarks, and email them to one of my Gmail accounts. This way I can download them into another computer.
    How do I do this?

    A couple of methods.
    If you want the bookmarks on the other computer to be replaced with the bookmarks on your current computer, follow the procedure in the [[Backing up and restoring bookmarks]] article to backup the bookmarks to a json file which you can email, and then restore those onto the other computer.
    If you want to add the bookmarks to the other computer, but still keep the bookmarks that are already on the other computer, you need to export them to an html file. To do that see [[Exporting bookmarks to an HTML file]]. You can email the html file, and import it to the other computer, for details see [[Importing Bookmarks from an HTML File]].

  • How can I save a bookmark in more than one location?

    In previous versions, I could save a bookmark in one folder, and again in another. This option seems to have disappeared with 29.0. The reference articles don't outline how to do this.
    Does anyone have a trick up their sleeve that will let us do this?
    I know that I should perhaps be using tags, but I have thousands of bookmarks filed and can't start a new procedure now with a major project launch coming up.
    Thanks!
    Allan

    hello allen, in the bookmark library you can copy and paste bookmarks into multiple locations. however as you have said, tags are probably a far more efficient way to organize your bookmarks...

  • I got a new computer and a new firefox. How can I move my bookmarks from my old firefox on old computer to the new one?

    I installed firefox on my new computer (Win XP). So how can I move all my firefox bookmarks from my old computer to the new one and use them?

  • How can I save my bookmarks, then move them to a new computer when I re-download firefox?

    I am getting a new CPU and will download FireFox when I get it. I would like to be able to save and or print my list of favorite bookmarks so I can re-create them on the new computer/FireFox. Is there someway I can just transfer the old bookmarks list to an new computer and a new download of the browser.

    Hello Hellen.
    If you're just getting a new CPU, you shouldn't need to worry about backing up your information, since you don't need to format your hard drive to change the CPU.
    However, and I don't mean to insult you in any way, so please forgive me for my assumption, if you're referring to the computer (the tower itself, with the drives, boards and all that) as a "CPU", hopefully this support article is what you need:
    http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information
    The main thing to remember is that you don't need to just back up your bookmarks. You can port your ''whole'' Firefox experience (that includes passwords, history, cache, settings, add-ons, bookmarks, home pages, absolutely everything) from computer to computer by just copying your profile folder around. It's a brilliant thing that many people don't know, and often people will start all over again, which is totally unnecessary and definitely a big shame. I hope this helps.
