Firefox mobile crashes on bookmark import

I'm just trying to import my bookmarks from the stock browser via the Firefox mobile app .I've cleared out Data, I tried reinstalling and tried using the beta version.
Any solutions or alternative ways to do this manually? Verizon Galaxy Note 2 on 4.1 .2. Thanks

There must be some set of characters that Firefox is having trouble importing from. The only work around I can thing of for this would be to sync the Galaxy Note browser data to Chrome desktop (if possible). Then import into Firefox desktop that data. Finally use Firefox sync to get the data over.
Do you have any bookmarks that have non-latin characters?

Sync on Firefox mobile puts my Bookmarks Menu into Unsorted Bookmarks

On my laptop, I have Firefox 3.6.1.2 with Firefox Sync add-on 1.5. I have most of my bookmarks organized into multiple folders inside in the Bookmarks Menu folder.
On my Droid, I have Firefox Mobile 4.0b2 and I have set up sync.
Once I sync Firefox Mobile, and use it to look at bookmarks from my desktop, there's a problem:
The bookmarks from my desktop that should show up organized into subfolders under the Bookmarks Menu, instead are showing up in one long randomly sorted list under Unsorted Bookmarks (which on my laptop is empty).
The only bookmarks section that isn't getting mixed up this way is Bookmarks Toolbar, it is correctly showing the same bookmarks from Bookmarks Toolbar on my laptop.

This problem existed with the previous public beta as well, and it never resolved itself over a period of several weeks where I ran Fennec once maybe every few days.
With this new beta, I can't answer the question - it was so slow that I uninstalled it, sorry! (noticeably slower than the previous beta - I have a Moto Droid I with Froyo).
However, if it helps, I have attached a screen shot of my bookmarks bar on my PC so you can get an idea of how many bookmarks I've got and how they're organized (most of my bookmarks folders under Bookmarks Menu contain at least several dozen bookmarks each, and a few also contain subfolders).
I also should note that in Firefox sync prefs on my PC, I am only syncing bookmarks; I'm not syncing anything else (like tabs, history, etc.).

Firefox mobile crashes after upgrading to Lollipop OS.

Just upgraded my HTC One M8 to lollipop and now Firefox crashes every time I try to open.

hi craigmconnor, thanks for brining this up. unfortunately this is a bug on the verizon variant of the htc one m8 specifically after the upgrade to android 5.0.1 - mozilla's developers are looking into this matter as we speak.
for any progress on the issue you may follow along [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1140830 bug #1140830] (please don't post in bug reports though)...

How do I 'Open all in tabs' from a bookmark folder, in Firefox mobile? I am using an android tablet.

One of the best things about firefox on my desktop is the way I could group bookmarks into folders per subject or task,then open them all in tabs. On my Asus tablet I can see my desktop bookmark folders, but I don't see how to open them all in tabs. Also, is there a way to put a bookmark button somewhere, instead of going through the homepage?

It is not a default feature of Firefox mobile. Sounds possible via an extension. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/mobile/ Though anything more than 3-5 would cause some performance problems while the pages are downloaded. If a large number were selected there is a good chance that all the memory on the tablet would be exhausted and Firefox would be killed by Android.

Firefox Mobile changes bookmark order after sync

I've got all my bookmarks arranged on Firefox desktop into various folders and there are also various bookmarks in the Unsorted Bookmarks folder that are sorted by date added. I've connected to Firefox sync and synced the desktop. I've then installed firefox mobile on android and connected that to Firefox Sync. This then syncs all my desktop bookmarks on to Firefox mobile. However when I go back into Firefox desktop the order of my unsorted bookmarks has been changed and ordered by name.
I assumed that either Firefox Desktop would be the master and everyother device synced with this would follow the same order or that the first device linked (the desktop) would be the master. However Firefox mobile seems to sync the bookmarks, change the order and then sync this new order with the desktop.

yesterday I did what you suggest,
This morning I turned on my computer and open firefox, you bookmarks toolbar back chaotic.. you can see my snapshot
so chaos occurs bookmarks toolbar every firefox is opened and synchronize.
although today I fix bookmarks toolbar, tomorrow morning when I open firefox, it would be chaos again

<blockquote>
You would have to restore the bookmarks from an older JSON back if the recent backup that Firefox uses to rebuild the bookmarks when you delete the places.sqlite file is already corrupted.
The name of a JSON bookmarks backup file includes a total item count (includes folders and separators) and an hash value to prevent saving the same backup more than once.
*bookmarks-YYYY-MM-DD_<item count>_<hash>.jsonlz4.
So you can check if there is a sudden unexplained change in the item count.

How do I change the order of Bookmarks in Firefox Mobile?

For Firefox Mobile (v4), I can't figure out how to change the order of bookmarks.
What am I missing?

Sorry, there's no simple way to sort bookmarks in Firefox for mobile.
If you use Firefox Sync to synchronize bookmarks with Firefox on your computer, then you can move bookmarks around in the "Mobile Bookmarks" folder on your computer to re-order them on your phone.

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.

Import and Backup is the third (last) button on the toolbar in the Bookmarks Manager (Library) that looks like a star.<br />
Other platforms show the text label, but on Mac you only see toolbar icons.

Firefox 15.0.1 cannot import bookmarks from Safari 6.0.1

Hello,
Firefox 15.0.1 cannot import bookmarks from Safari 6.0.1.
I have followed the steps below:
1) Export all Safari bookmarks to an HTML file (File --> Export Bookmarks)
2) Import bookmarks into Firefox (Bookmarks --> Show all bookmarks --> Import and Backup --> Import Bookmarks from HTML)
Firefox seems to load the HTML file, but the bookmarks never show up in Firefox.
Any thoughts about why this is happening?
Best,
Jaime.-

How can i alphabetize my firefox mobile bookmarks

in firefox for android is there something i'm missing,or an addon that does this, this seems(to me)an obviously necessary feature for any list. how can you help me?

We don't currently have a way for you to sort your bookmarks, but did you know you can search your bookmarks and history by typing in the URL bar? Your bookmarked sites will be shown in the list with a star next to them. Maybe give that a try? It should be quicker than scrolling through a list.
Firefox shows your synced bookmarks in the order they were in on your other devices; your mobile bookmarks are in reverse chronological order, with the things you were doing recently at the top.

Firefox keeps crashing on my mobile

Help me please

First, restart your phone. Open Firefox browser, pick a bookmarked site. If it still crashes you may need to try and clear some 'caches' under "settings" (cookies, bookmarks, etc) Also clear your history.. Good luck.

Firefox Mobile 18a1 crashes all the time

I have been testing Nightly builds of Firefox Mobile for Android for some time now. Recently (after Ion landed), the browser crashes all the time. I can't even get into about:config or about:crashes long enough to get any useful information or try anything. Is there a way to put the browser in Safe Mode? Any other ideas?

Hey,
Yes, this is known. We've got a couple bug reports on file and have been investigating it this week. See bugs: http://bugzil.la/791781, http://bugzil.la/792342, http://bugzil.la/790139.
The crash you describe sounds like http://bugzil.la/790139 as I came across this too yesterday.
Hopefully we'll see some fixes soon.

Firefox said bookmarks imported successfully from Internet Explorer - no folder visible in Bookmarks pane. New firefox install on new computer running windows 7.

Already tried adding Bookmarks toolbar, looking at Bookmarks sidebar, opening bookmarks pane. Don't see the "From Internet Explorer" file anywhere. Help appreciated!

If you have problems with importing the IE Favorites in Firefox then export the Favorites in IE to an HTML file and import that file in the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.<br />
That way you also preserve any sorting that you may have done in IE with the Favorites.
* Export the favorites in IE to an HTML file (bookmarks.html): File > Import and Export
* Import the HTML file in Firefox: Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import HTML: From File

I can't open Firefox and I haven't saved my extensive bookmarks, which contains all my important websites. How can I start Firefox and save my bookmarks?

I have a Dell Inspiron E1505, and I use Kaspersky Internet Security. The past week, I've had problems opening Firefox - it has been slow. Today, it just won't open at all. At first I thought it was my Internet connection, so I called my provider, Comcast Cable. But I was also able to open Internet Explorer. I was told that I may have to remove Firefox, and redownload it, but it would erase all my bookmarks. How can I access Firefox and save my bookmarks?

Try starting Firefox in Safe Mode (Firefox Safe Mode, not Windows Safe Mode).
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, check out this article:
[http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode Safe Mode]. Be careful not to "reset" anything permanently if you didn't back up.
To export bookmarks to an HTML file that IE and other browsers can read, see [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Exporting%20bookmarks%20to%20an%20HTML%20file Exporting bookmarks to an HTML file | How to | Firefox Help].
Any luck?

What to do about Firefox Mobile constant crashes?

Hi, I am using Firefox Mobile on my Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505 with Samsung Android 4.3. I keep getting a notice that Firefox has stopped or stopped red. I forget which. There is a choice whether to report or not.
After this Firefox is closed.
It's very annoying
How to solve this?

Actually, if you did all these steps, and you have deleted all cookies and cache, that means your browser is like a new Android application which you have downloaded right now, so last option is that uninstall your Firefox and re-install it, sorry for that, but i think it will solve your problem.
