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?

'''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 move itunes from one profile to another?

    does anyone know how to move my itunes from one profile to another?

    Drag the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder to /Users/Shared/.
    Log into the other user.
    Option drag (this copies instead of moves and sets the correct permissions) the iTunes folder in /Users/Shared/ to your /Music/ folder, replacing what is there.
    You can then delete /Users/Shared/iTunes/ folder.

  • How do I migrate bookmarks from one HD to another?

    Windows XP became corrupted (?). It was cheaper to install another hard drive, and install windows on the new drive (backing up the original HD would cost more than the new HD did....) The old drive is easily accessed. How do I migrate Firefox bookmarks from the old HD to the new one?

    This should explain how to grab one of the backup bookmarks file on the old drive.

  • How do I import folders from one library to another? My original library has become to large and I want to split it. There is not enough memory to select all the folders I want to move to create a new library.

    I also created a new library and tried file-import but cannot see / access any files in the original aperture library with that command.

    If you use the Command to Export Project as New Library, then such a Library can be imported into another Library with the command to  Import Library/Project.  The first such export as New Library can be the"seed' Library for starting the process.
    But the most important point is there is no performance gain from small Libraries where you think one has become too large, if the new Library is to be on the same disk drive as the original.  My primary library is 1 TB in size, and works as well as tiny test libraries.

  • How do I transfer bookmarks from one computer to another without using the sync feature?

    I have used the Belkin transfer cable which did not transfer the bookmarks. I can't find them on my C Drive. I'd like to transfer them manually using a thumb drive but can't without locating the file with the bookmarks.
    Firefox and its bookmarks are on the original computer. At this time I can't use the synch function, but must manually transfer the bookmarks. How do I recognize in the files and copy on an external device and then transfer

    Ctrl+Shift+B will open the show all bookmarks window
    and on the top of that it has an import/export menu using this you can export all your bookmarks into a file either as html or as a json
    you can then do the reverse on another PC
    does that help?

    Export your bookmarks (file menu in Safari, from the Show All Bookmarks option in Firefox) and save to your HD. Copy the saved .html file to the other Mac over the network, or by copying the file to a USB stick and copying to the other Mac, or emailing them to the other Mac. On the other Mac import the Bookmarks file into your browser of choice,

  • 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.

If I have a user name then where do I sign into Firefox, it should be that easy but I can't seem to figure it out.

    Hey susanneyes,
    Sounds like you want to set up Firefox Sync. This will allow you to keep all of your instances of Firefox synchronized. Just follow the steps in [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/what-firefox-sync?s=sync&r=0&as=s this article] and you'll be set.
    Hopefully this helps!

    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.
