How do I import bookmarks from IE with Firefox 4 beta updated to 7?

I want to import the bookmarks from ie9 to mozilla firefox 7 updated from the set up Mf beta 4. I read in an article that it is clicking on import from the menu file, but I checked and in this version (7) does not appear that option.

Hi,
Thanks for your feedback it was accurate but import HTML does not appear, it is directly from''' Import & Backup >''' to '''Import Data from Another Browser.'''
Thanks again.

How do I Import Bookmarks from one profile to another ? I have tried searching online but I can find no "bookmarksbackups" folder and no "places.sqlite" Thanks

Hi,
I was wondering how to Import Bookmarks from an old firefox profile to a new one ? My laptop stopped working but I managed to copy my firefox data from the mozilla appdata folder. I want to now copy my old bookmarks to my new firefox profile on my new laptop. I have tried searching online for guidance but most methods mention a "bookmarksbackups" folder and a "places.sqlite" file. However, I can find no "bookmarksbackups" folder and no "places.sqlite" file. Among the files in profile I am trying to import FROM are a "bookmarks" html file(which seems to only contain the default firefox bookmarks) as well as "places.sqlite-shm" and "places.sqlite-wal" files. Although, the NEW profile on my new laptop I am trying to import TO DOES have a "bookmarksbackups" folder and a "places.sqlite" file.
I would be most grateful for any help received. Many thanks in advance for your help and for your time

f458italia,
Per your screenshot - you don't have the /bookmarksbackup/ folder nor the places.sqlite file - your bookmarks don't exist in that old Profile. ''cor-el mentioned another file that is missing, so that Profile wouldn't have been operational.''
Are you sure that you don't have another Profile for that user account?
beemarco,
Sorry that we missed your question over here:

'''Thank you for your reply. If my bookmarks etc. were to unknowingly be saved in another profile how could I find/access this profile? Many thanks in advance '''

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 <i>OR</i> 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.

I have imported bookmarks from Safari to Firefox but the bookmarks bar does not change in Firefox and match that of Safari. That's the part I need most. Any ideas why? Also, I don't see where to choose for Firefox to be my default browser.

I use a Imac with OS 10.6.7. I've just uploaded Firefox 4. I had Firefox 3 already but do not use it often. I've been using Safari. I imported bookmarks from Safari to Firefox, but the bookmarks bar in Firefox did not change to match that of Safari, and that's where the important bookmarks are. Any ideas?
Also, I can't find where to choose Firefox as my default browser.

Copy the files from the old Profile into the new Profile, replacing the existing files that are in the new Profile. That will make your new installation just like the old one.
Or if you just want your bookmarks, copy only the '''places.sqlite''' file from the old Profile into the new Profile.

How do I import bookmarks from safari? I am using firefox 7.0.1 with apple lion 10.7.2

The "Import" option is gone with Firefox 7.0.1. I sure would like to be able to import all my bookmarks from Safari

I don't know if you have saved bookmarks since original Firefox install., but importing bookmarks later will add them all the end of the "Bookmarks Menu": you will have to
move the content of the bookmarks toolbar however it is called in IE to your "Bookmarks Toolbar" the rest of your bookmarks you want to move to "Bookmarks Menu" especially if they are organized into folders.
Bookmarks menu > Show All Bookmarks (Ctrl+Shift+B) > Import > from Internet Explorer
Having Firefox as the default browser is needed which you recognized, but since IE had been you default browser you must tell IE to check to see if it is the default browser, it will test to see if it is and find that is not. Refuse the request to make IE the default broswer and you should be okay.

How do I import bookmarks from a different PC installation?

I recently changed from a desktop to a laptop for my primary system when the desktop power supply failed. I was able to recover all desktop files by moving the HDD to an external USB enclosure.
Now I need to import the old extensive bookmark collection in Firefox 3.x to the laptop Firefox 3.x and combine it with the current bookmarks on the laptop.
How do I do this without destroying the bookmarks already on the laptop?

Before you do this, backup your laptops bookmarks as shown in the first part of the [[backing up and restoring bookmarks]] article. This step should not be necessary but I am just playing it safe so you can restore them if required.
The process below will save a copy of your bookmarks from the laptop, next it will replace the bookmarks on the laptop with those that were on the desktop. Finally it will import the laptops bookmarks, adding them to those from the desktop.
Export the bookmarks on the laptop again, this time to an HTML file, for details see [[exporting bookmarks to an HTML file]].
The next step is to restore the bookmarks from the HDD for the desktop. Follow the instructions in the [[backing up and restoring bookmarks]] article for restoring bookmarks, using the "Choose File" option. Now browse to the old profile folder on the HDD. For details of finding this folder see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox]. Inside the profile folder there will be a folder called bookmarkbackups containing files with names in the format bookmarks-yyyy-mm-dd.json, select the one with the latest date. This will import those bookmarks, and in the process replace those that are on the laptop.
The final stage is re-importing the bookmarks from the HTML file that you exported above, for details see [[importing Bookmarks from an HTML File]]. This will add the bookmarks to those that were originally on the desktop.
If you are likely to have duplicate bookmarks, you can use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/10897/ CheckPlaces] add-on to remove them if you wish.

How can I import images from iphoto with the albums and folders?

How can I import images from iphoto without losing the albums and folders I already created?

In Organizer, you can choose File>get Photos and Videos>From iPhoto.
Importing from iPhoto'09: If in iPhoto, you organize your media using photo references, that is, the media actually does not reside inside iPhoto library package, and are referenced through original locations, Organizer does not create new copies of those media and just refer to the original location. but if your iPhoto media reside inside iPhoto library, Organizer creates a copy all media in your pictures folder, also imports albums and tags and other metadata.
Importing from iPhoto'011: In this case, Organizer always creates a copy of your photos in your pictures folder which resides inside iPohto package. It does not import the albums and other metadata like star rating, caption etc.
Hope this information helps!
regards,
vaishali

How do I migrate bookmarks from Camino to Firefox? My only options are Safari and Chrome.

I've followed the on-site directions for this migration ("migrate from another browser") but my only options via that route are Safari and Chrome.

Export bookmarks from camino using the instructions at http://caminobrowser.org/documentation/bookmarks/#export .
Then import the html file into firefox using the instructions in the [[Import Bookmarks from a HTML file]] article.
Does that fix the problem?

How do I import bookmarks from previous version of Firefox (21) - they disappeared when I installed hte latest update to 22.0?

I had "Plain Old Favorites" installed as an extension and it showed all my bookmarks. Now it is blank - won't function - but I did not see any warning that it was not compatible. How do I convert/import these to use as Firefox bookmarks?

Import your bookmarks from IE. <br />
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Importing+bookmarks+and+other+data+from+other+browsers
PlainOld Favorites needs to be fixed for Firefox 22 by the developer of that extension, who had sufficient notice about the changes which were originally slated to be in Firefox 21 - six weeks ago, at least.

How do I import bookmarks from a json file?

I have Firefox 23.0.1.
I am trying to import Firefox bookmarks from a json file on another disc, and merge these with my existing bookmarks.
I only have options to import an html file. I can also use restore to bring in the file, but this will overwrite my current bookmarks, and I want to merge the two.

There is a better way to do this and it is part of Firefox's Import function.
1. Open Firefox and open the "Firefox" menu and then the "Bookmark" menu. When the options open to the right of "Bookmark," select "Show all Bookmarks." Alternatively, you can hit Crtl+Shift+B.
2. Select the "Import and Backup" menu, then "Restore" and "Choose File."
3. Browse to find the file and choose "Restore." Your bookmarks will be replaced with the bookmarks in your .json file.

How do I import bookmarks from a Favorites folder that I've copied from another computer? I'm using Win 7

I copied the "Favorites" folder off off another computer and now have in on a local hard drive. How do I either point Firefox to it or import those bookmarks. I'm using Win 7 and Firefox menu has no "Import" function that I can find.
Thanks,
Rich

Firefox can't handle the .url type IE favorites.
You would have to copy the favorites in that folder to the current IE favorites folder and see if you can import the IE favorites in Firefox.
If not then you need to export the favorites in IE to an HTML file and import this file in Firefox.
See "Import from another browser" and "Import from file":
