How can I import Firefox bookmarks, now stored in User folder on same (new) PC, into Firefox?

How can I import Firefox bookmarks, now stored in User folder on same (new) PC, into Firefox? I have exported the Firefox bookmarks from my old PC into a [Windows 8] folder on my new PC.
When I use the Firefox import facility, it will only import one bookmark at a time - and then it bookmarks all the main pages on the bookmarked website, not just the one which I originally bookmarked. It also does not import the information stored in the bookmark tag.

Sure thing.
# Open the run dialog by holding the Windows key and pressing R
# Type <code>%appdata%</code> into the run window and press ok
# Open the ''Mozilla'' folder
# Open the ''Firefox'' folder
# Open the ''Profiles'' folder
# Copy the folder that is located in this folder to a USB drive
# Install and run Firefox on the new computer
# Close Firefox
# Repeat steps 1 to 5 on the new computer
# Open the folder that you copied from the old computer
# Copy the contents of that folder into the folder located inside of the new computer's profile folder
# Allow Windows to replace any duplicate folders with the ones that you are copying onto the computer is prompted

    how do i delete photos which were being imported and are now stored in a folder which i can't access

    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
    Look there for a Folder called 'Import' or 'Importing'.
    Drag it to the Desktop. *Make no other changes*.
    Start iPhoto. Does that help?
    If it does then look inside that folder on your desktop. Does it contain anything you want? If not you can trash the folder.

  • How can I import not only apps from the old iphone to the new iphone, but also the content of the apps?

    How can I import not only apps from the old iphone to the new iphone, but also the content of the apps?

    You can sync apps as you normally would, but I do not believe this copies over app specifc data (i.e. saved game status/scores).
    You can always restore your new device with a backup from your old device.

  • How can get 40,000 pix from old computer restored by Carbonite to new computer into PE 11 or 12?

    I bought a new,  faster, more storage Windows 8 computer.
    I had 40,000 pix on old computer tagged with names, event, location, date with PE 11. Also several projects involving hundreds of pix.
    Carbonite restored all files (250 gig) from old computer to new, and their tech support says they all are on the new computer.
    I bought the new PE 12 and installed it on new computer.  It has only found 4,000 pix.  I don't at all like PE 12 after enjoying PE2-11 and managing all my  pix with it.  PE11 was clearer in the pix presentation.
    Apparently when imported to the new computer, I lost the tags that went to events, location, and the person tags did not  separate family from friends etc.  I can't even find my projects.
    I was so frustrated with PE12, that I installed PE11, but everytime I try to open the Organizer, it doesn't open.
    Help.  I am so frustrated.  I am pretty sure  before I made the transition that I had written all tags to files.  When I put PE11 on the new computer, why won't it give me what I had on the old.
    This is probably my 10th generation computer change, and I never had such problems before with PE.

    I am using 10 and 11 instead of 11 and  12.  I tried to go back and edit,
    but couldn't figure out how.  Sorry,  typing errorC.

  • Hello there - how can I share my iTunes library between two users on the same computer? I put the library in a shared folder between both and have selected this library on both as well, but when I update iTunes with music etc it only appears on one?

    Hello there - how can I share my iTunes library between two users on the same computer? I put the library in a shared folder between both and have selected this library on both as well, but when I update iTunes with music etc it only appears on one?

    Thank you Joe - I tried this but it's only showing a teensy amount of music - the stuff on the second users account as opposed to the giagntic library on the 'main' account. I actually went to a Genius Bar and they said that apple doesn't really want you to share music between accounts - parents don't want to hear their kids music etc. Which seemed strange, but it might be the case sadly   Thanks anyway!

  • How can i share purchased apps between 2 diff users on the same mac?

    How can I share purchased apps between 2 diff users on the same mac?

    A purchased app is associated with an Apple ID. A user with a different Apple ID cannot use the app unless they also use the same Apple ID.
    I cannot use my wife's apps nor she mine because each were purchased with different Apple IDs.

  • HT1660 how can I use one single library for all users on the same laptop?

    how can I use one single library for all users on the same laptop?

    You are most of the way there. Each user having access to hard drive is the key. If users are limited in file privileges this is harder.
    Any files you add to your library and any files she adds to her library are available to the other. Just not automatically. Each user must add the files to their own library using the add file or add folder option from menu bar.
    What I have done is set library location to a location outside of My Documents\My Music. On my network storage I have a folder names s:\itunes. Both accounts iTunes are set to use this location for the library.

  • How can I import/restore bookmarks to firefox from another computer/browser with bookmark icons included?

    When you import bookmarks from Firefox or another browser into Firefox in a separate computer the bookmarks get imported fine, however their icons get disappeared. You have to click on every single bookmark in order to load its corresponding icon!
    Note: The Google Chrome does not have this issue. The bookmark and their icons get imported to Chrome without further clicking on the imported bookmarks.

    You would have to copy the places.sqlite file or possibly import an HTML backup (bookmarks.html) to get the favicons.
    A JSON backup doesn't include the favicons, so in that case you need to visit each bookmarked site.

  • How can I import my bookmarks and RSS feeds from Flock?

    I just switched over from Flock because it's too sluggish to use anymore. How do I import all my bookmarks, passwords, and RSS feeds? If I have to do it all by hand, I'm going to cry.
    Also do I need a separate RSS reader to get my feeds in a nice list like Flock does it? I don't really get how Live Bookmarks are supposed to work.
    Thanks. I used Firefox before moving to Flock, so hopefully switching back won't be too painful.

    Hm. This was somewhat helpful. I got my bookmarks moved (although now that I see how many of them I had backed up, I'm not sure that was a good idea).
    Still trying to figure out the passwords... I have my Flock profile folder and my Firefox profile folders open... it looks like I need to copy the key3.db file and the signons.sqlite file from the Flock folder to the Firefox folder, does that sound correct?
    As for the RSS feeds, it looks like I'll need an external reader to make any use of the .OPML file that Flock exported for me. I'm still not really clear on how Live Bookmarks work, exactly. I see how to create and manage them, I just don't get how they function day to day. I have a ridiculous number of RSS feeds, some of which still have half a hundred posts I'm working my way through.
    Any recommendations for a good Firefox compatible feed reader?
    Thanks!

  • Just installed 7 pro, how can I import my bookmarks which I saved on a different drive?

    just installed windows 7 pro. I saved my bookmarks on a second drive but can not find how to import into my new copy of firefox. Why is this not an option when I go to import? Only option is IE.

    It depends on the format you saved the bookmarks in.
    If it was an HTML file see [[importing bookmarks from an HTML file]]
    If you used the JSON format to backup the bookmarks see [[backing up and restoring bookmarks]]. (Use the Restore - Choose file option)
    If you saved the places.sqlite file, you can place that file in your new [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox profile folder], replacing the file that is already there. This will replace the bookmarks and history with those from your previous version.

  • How can I place a bookmark in the horizontal toolbar, which I could do before the Firefox upgrade?

    I had several bookmarks in the horizontal toolbar before the latest upgrade. They all disappeared after the upgrade and I cannot find a way to make them show up again.

    Make sure that toolbars like the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible.
    *"3-bar" Firefox menu button > Customize > Show/Hide Toolbars
    *View > Toolbars<br>Tap the Alt key or press F10 to show the Menu Bar
    *Right-click empty toolbar area
    Open the Customize window and set which toolbar items to display.
    *"3-bar" Firefox menu button > Customize
    *check that "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
    *if "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the Customize palette into the Customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
    *if missing items are in the Customize palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
    *if you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the Customize palette then click the Restore Defaults button to restore the default toolbar setup
