How do I export bookmarks from Firefox for Mobile (android) to an html file?

I have bookmarks on my Firefox for Mobile v 33.1 that I would like to copy/back up to an html file. Even if I access the desktop version on my tablet I don't see the Show all Bookmarks - Import/Export option. This Android profile used to be linked through the old Firefox Sync to my PC but the issue is that I can't access it from my PC anymore as I just had to replace the hard disk. I have now installed the new Firefox on my PC but it won't sync with the old Android version as the new Firefox Sync is not compatible with the old one. Also when I go under Sync on the Android, it says the email account is deprecated.
Going forward I understand I need to remove account on the Android, update to the new Firefox Sync and newly link PC and Android device. However I have read that If I remove the account on my Android Firefox and set up the new Firefox Sync on it, I will lose my old bookmarks and it will only start saving and syncing bookmarks from then on even if I use the same email address to set it up. If this is the case and before taking this step, is there a way I can copy my old Android bookmarks to an html file?
All suggestions very much appreciated! I'm completely lost.
Thanks

Tangram that is an answer for desktop Firefox. It does not apply to Firefox for Android.
There is no way to export bookmarks/history in Firefox for Android.
However your Firefox sync account is unrelated to the Firefox for Android profile. You can safely remove the account without loss of data. Then set up a new Sync Account.

How to import /export bookmarks in Firefox for Mac

I wanted to export my bookmarks in Firefox for Mac, in htm or pdf format. Cant find any command for that. Nor any import from htm or pdf. Nor can I list all my bookmarks aplhabetically ; I have lots of bookmarks in different folders and I want to see all these bookmarks listed with no folders.

In Firefox for OS X, you can export your Bookmarks to HTML via the Bookmarks dialouge window.
Open your Bookmarks dialouge via the Menu bar: Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks.
When the new window has opened, this is what you can do to export your Bookmarks: https://support.mozilla.org/media/uploads/images/2012-09-16-05-44-02-10bc19.png (or view the image attachment).

How do I Exporting bookmarks from Firefox 5.o.1 to Safari?

I went to Help and was informed to use "Organize Bookmarks".
Under the Bookmarks in the Tool Bar there does not appear to be that command.

"Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks" has been renamed to "Show All Bookmarks" in Firefox 4 and later.

How do I import Bookmarks from Firefox 28.0 into Firefox 29.0.1?

How do I import Bookmarks from Firefox 28.0 into Firefox 29.0.1? I am running OS X 10.7.5 and just updated Firefox from 28.0 to 29.0.1. How do I import my old 28.0 bookmarks into 29.0.1? I've tried all the suggestions but nothing works. WHERE are my old bookmarks? Help, please!

Your bookmarks can be imported and exported from the Library (Bookmarks Manager).
*Go to the clipboard icon, click Show All Bookmarks OR press Cmd + Shift + B
*Once there, you'll see Import and Backup (see screenshot), you have a choice to choose between backing up as a JSON (Import and Backup -> Backup) or HTML (Import and Backup - > Export bookmarks to HTML)
Once this is done and the file has been backed up, you can import them using the same method (Import & Backup -> Backup for JSON/Import & Backup -> Import bookmarks from HTML (HTML)
One of our awesome contributors explained the difference between a JSON backup and a HTML backup that is very explanatory:
Restoring a JSON backup will replace all your current bookmarks (you get a warning about that), so if you already have bookmarks that you wish to keep then export them to an HTML file before restoring the JSON backup.
You can import that HTML file after you have restored the JSON backup to get your current bookmarks back (you need to remove duplicates).
You can't import a JSON backup to add (merge) bookmarks.
Importing bookmarks from an HTML file adds the imported bookmarks to the already existing bookmarks, so you may need to remove duplicates.
An HTML backup doesn't support tags and annotations, so if you want to preserve those then you need to use a JSON backup.
A JSON backup doesn't preserve the website favicons, so you need to visit a website to get back that favicon.

Exporting desktop (!!) bookmarks from Firefox for Android

Firefiox Sync messed up my desktop bookmarks, so a part of it lost completely now.
But as my Nexus not always online it still contain almost latest snapshot of desktop bookmarks.
I already disconnect it from Sync, so it's bookmarks won't be damaged.
Is there any way to export DESKTOP bookmarks from my android device?
Does Sync PUSH desktop bookmarks FROM android to sync-server or it just PULL them from it?

Hi zoorg,
Exporting bookmarks from Android (importing on Desktop is already in place) is a long-standing need that has not yet been filled, and I'm sorry for that. To answer your final question, each Synced device works by first pulling bookmarks from the server, merging those into its own bookmarks, and then pushing back any changes to the server. So it's pull then push.
The simplest thing is to create a new Firefox Profile (see https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles) and connect that new profile to your Firefox Account. That'll download all the bookmarks on the server. You might find that these bookmarks are correct. If that's the case, you could abandon your old profile and continue using this new one.
If the bookmarks are *not* correct, I suggest you delete your account at https://accounts.firefox.com/settings and re-create it. (You can use the same email address since you delete the old one.) Then you can re-connect your Android device, which should upload all the bookmarks it has. Then attach your Desktop (with a new, clean profile), which should download the new bookmarks.
Hope that helps, and sorry for the difficult process :(

Hi. Just switched from PC to MAC (lion 6.7) and I am trying to import my bookmarks but Firefox for mac will not recognize the file. How do I move my bookmarks to my MAC from my PC?

Hi. Just switched from PC to MAC (lion 6.7) and I am trying to import my bookmarks but Firefox for MAC will not recognize the Bookmark back up file. How do I move my bookmarks to my MAC from my PC?

Make sure that the backup file with the bookmarks has the correct file extension: .html for a HTML backup and .json for a JSON backup. 
You can check that via the right-click context menu of that file and open the Properties. 
If you are not sure about the file type then you can open the file in Firefox via "File > Open File" 
A JSON backup will show as one long text line without line breaks and a HTML backup as a web page with clickable links. 
A JSON backup starts with: <nowiki>{"title":"","id":1,"dateAdded":</nowiki> 
An HTML backup starts with: <nowiki><!DOCTYPE NETSCAPE-Bookmark-file-1></nowiki>

How do i retrieve bookmarks from firefox 3.6 on operating system windows xp to put on operating system windows 7

I was running firefox3.6 on windows xp, now i have windows 7 and need to retrieve my bookmarks from firefox 3.6. I am taking on-line classes and need this information.

See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Backing_up_and_restoring_bookmarks_-_Firefox
* [[Recovering important data from an old profile]]

I got a new computer and installed Firefox, but don't know how to transfer the bookmarks from Firefox on the old computer.

This has to be one of the the most common problems that people encounter. We all get new computers every so often, and we all need to keep the old bookmarks when we get a new computer and install the new browser.
I feel like I must be among the small minority of people who do not know how to do this. My older computer is not dead, it just got old (it uses XP). I have been keeping it around until I get all of the data from it. Any help in doing that would be greatly appreciated.
I am now using Windows 7.

Firefox also makes regular backups of your bookmarks in a folder named bookmarkbackups in your personal settings folder. You can restore the backup to your new Firefox, but unlike importing the HTML-format file, it is a complete drop-in replacement, so if you have saved new bookmarks you do not want to lose, the export/import method may work better for you.
By default, Windows hides your personal settings folder so the easiest way to access it is from inside Firefox. You can use 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 will launch a window showing your Firefox settings files.
You might want to back up this whole folder if you have other data you want to preserve from your XP computer.
Either way, you should find the bookmarkbackups folder here and when you click into it, find maybe 10 files with dates in their names.
The procedure to restore the file once you have it on removable media or some other convenient place is described in this article: [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]].
Regarding the other files and what you might find of use: [[Recovering important data from an old profile]].

How do I transfer bookmarks from Firefox 3.6 on one computer to Firefox 4 on another computer?

I have a new HP 6720 Pavillion Desktop using Windows 7 and downloaded FF4.0 to it. I have bookmarks in FF3.6 on an older computer using XP and have exported Firefox to a jump drive. I need step by step instructions on how to get my old FF profile info including bookmarks transfered to my new computer.By the way, I need the same instructions for transfering my Outlook email files and address book on the old computer to Thunderbird on the new one. Thanks

You can export the bookmarks using Firefox 3.6 to a json file, then restore that file to Firefox 4 on the new computer. For details see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Backing+up+and+restoring+bookmarks
If you want to copy more than just the bookmarks, the following links show how to do that:
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Backing+up+your+information

For help with transferring data to Thunderbird, you can ask in one of these Thunderbird support forums:

How do I export bookmarks from my ipod to my pc?

Hi there,
I have a new laptop (Samsung N120 notebook) and am trying to upload my bookmarks from my iPhone 3GS. I have tried using iTunes and have downloaded v.10.5.3. I have just uploaded IOS 5 onto my iPhone so I should be ready to go.
I've signed up to iCloud but don't know how to export the bookmarks from my Safari on my iPhone.
On iTunes under the info tab the only mention of bookmarks is 'Your bookmarks are being synced with your iPhone over the air from iCloud. Over the air settings can be changed on your iPhone' but nothing appears to have happened.
Would appreciate any wisdom/advice people might have on the topic. Thanks!
G

Did you already try the bookmarks option on the iCloud control panel?

Hi, I need to export bookmarks from Firefox/2.0.0.20 to a external hard drive. Any ideas? Thanks, Greg

Hi, I am trying to move into my new IMac. Everything is good except the old G4 running 10.3.9 with Firefox/2.0.0.20 cannot export bookmarks. I could transfer them via a external hard drive if I could get them to export. The IMac 10.7.2 will not recognize the old Mac.

How to use Websocket for Firefox for Mobile Android Addon

I am trying to write a simple firefox mobile addon that talks with my server side code using Websocket.
I have my code working for Desktop Firefox Addon but I am having difficulty with one for Firefox mobile.
function connectToServer(aWindow) {
var ws = new MozWebSocket("ws://ipaddress:8887"); // LINE 20
// var ws = new WebSocket("ws://ipaddress:8887");
ws.onopen = function() {
showToastMsg(aWindow, 'Sending');
ws.send('data');
ws.onmessage = function (evt) {
showToastMsg(aWindow, 'Display')
ws.onclose = function() {
I have tried both MozWebSocket and WebSocket, but both of them gives me error similar to the following :
> E/GeckoConsole(15569): [JavaScript Error: "ReferenceError: MozWebSocket is not defined" {file: "resource://gre/modules/XPIProvider.jsm -> jar:file:///data/data/org.mozilla.firefox/files/mozilla/sq4c77hi.default/extensions/[email protected]!/bootstrap.js" line: 20}]
Anyone know what I need to import or do to be able to reference WebSocket?
I just want to send data back and forth from my Firefox Android addon with my server side code using websocket. Any suggestions?
I am just confused because I have this setup running on Firefox Desktop Addon with very similar code.
I have a short code written at https://bitbucket.org/ykim320/kayo. The desktop firefox extension works fine. But I have having trouble getting mobile version of addon to send message and connect to server. If you have anyway you can connect to the server using firefox mobile addon any pointers will be appreciated. Thank you again.
Any help would be very appreciated thank you!
