How do I import bookmarks on an XP computer to one with Windows 7, both have Firefox 4.o

The XP computer is a 5 year old Dell and the Windows 7 is a new HP Pavilion G7 laptop. I was confused over the differences in the appearance of Firefox on both since they are both v4.o. I was able to download my bookmarks to a .json file from my XP computer, but I don't see where I can import the file on my Windows 7 laptop. I checked the program files for Firefox in Windows 7 and saw a channel preferences.js file. I wasn't sure if I should transfer the bookmark.json file to this folder to "import" the bookmarks.

Just to clarify you, need to export your bookmarks from your Windows XP machine and then import them into your Windows 7 laptop.
To replace your existing bookmarks with a Firefox bookmark backup file in JSON format, please see [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing%20up%20and%20restoring%20bookmarks#Restoring_from_backups Backing up and restoring bookmarks].

  • How do I import bookmarks to a different computer?

    same as before

    Assuming the "source" computer is up and running, you have 3 ways to move bookmarks:
    (1) Bookmarks: "Backup" / "Restore"
    This is the most comprehensive format and includes your tags, if you tag bookmarks. This article describes how to create the file, and also how to restore it to the other computer: [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]].
    (2) Bookmarks: "Export" / "Import"
    This is an ancient format from the 90s that most browsers can read. Even if you choose #1 as your preferred method, this is a good backup. These articles have the details:
    * [[Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file to back up or transfer bookmarks]]
    * [[Import Bookmarks from a HTML file]]
    (3) Bookmarks & etc.
    Your Firefox profile (settings) folder contains all your current bookmarks and history, saved passwords, many add-ons, and so forth. By copying over key files from your current profile folder, you can transfer most of your Firefox settings. The ones that won't transfer that way would be stuff installed at the system level such as the Flash plugin and your security software toolbars.
    This article has more information, and we also can walk you through some recommended methods if you go this way (some people prefer to start clean with just bookmarks for better performance):
    [[Recovering important data from an old profile]]
    Even if you decide not to transfer your whole profile folder, it's a good idea to keep a backup of it. Some add-ons accumulate data and you may need to rescue that from your old profile folder. This article has some tips on backups:
    [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
    Hope that helps. Please follow up if you run into any problems.

  • How to run import from Unix Oracle 8.0.5 database with Windows Oracle client?

    How to run import from Unix Oracle 8.0.5 database via network with Windows Oracle client? Is it possible? When I try to do it Oracle client just hangs... If not which ones are compatible Aix or Solaris to Unix or it must be a Unix client to connect to Unix Oracle database. Thank's for any help.

    Hi,
    In our project we are using this type. Since in this project server in UNIX(DEC) and client is running on windows. We have created a listener which always listen requests from client and doing the according to the request.
    Step1. create a request table, where u are inserting ur request.
    step2. create PRO*C proram, which is listening request on the table. If there is any request, call the imp (executable). This is happening on server side.
    Benifit. U can make a request from cleint and ftp the file client sit.
    Are u interested in more details and code, pls send a mail to me

  • How do i import PSD's from my Computer and keep layers?

    How do i import PSD's from my Computer and keep the layers?
    I have tried using the creative cloud but it is pretty much a useless feature when it only imports PSD's as JPG, deleting all the layers.

    I believe that PSDs imported into PS Touch simply are flattened; they are not converted to JPG. I think this was done to protect the integrity of the app. (The number of layers available in PS Touch are much more limited due to the hardware. It's like 16 I believe vs. the theoretical thousands or so layers in Photoshop.) You can, of course, do the reverse (save as PSD in PS Touch and have the integrity of the layers preserved in Photoshop).

    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.

  • I am trying to import bookmarks from google account. Your drop down menu does not have the "import" option. How can I do this?

    Your instructions for importing bookmarks/favorites are to click the top left Firefox button and select "import" to start the process. I don't have that option, there is not "import" in the drop down menu. How can I import bookmarks into Firefox?

    You will still find it in the File menu in the Firefox 5 version that you are using.<br />
    If Firefox 7 is has been moved to the Bookmarks Manager.
    Press F10 or tap the Alt key to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily if the Menu Bar is hidden.
    If you managed the bookmarks via the Google toolbar on the Google server then see:

  • 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.

    Or just sync to google from your HTC and export to a vcf file. After that login to icloud.com and there you can import the vcf. And now you just have to setup the icloud on your iPhone.

  • How do I move all my settings from my old computer with Vista to a New one with Windows 7 ? I'm using V. 14.0.1 on both Systems

    Hello All,
    How do I move all my Settings & Bookmarks from my 5 year old Computer running Vista and Firefox V. 14.0.1 , to my New Computer with Windows 7 and also Firefox 14.0.1 ?
    Thank you very much.

    You can copy your Firefox profile from one computer to the other and continue working with almost no changes :)
    [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
    A really easy way to do this is the following:
    #Click the Start button, type %APPDATA% into the search bar, press Enter (on your old PC)
    #Right click on the Mozilla folder, copy to a thumb drive (or something you can use to transfer it to your new PC)
    #Go to %APPDATA% the same way on your new computer
    #If the Mozilla folder already exists, I'd either delete it or rename it
    #Paste the Mozilla folder into the same place on your new PC
    #then upgrade to Firefox 15
    You can also use Firefox Sync. [[How do I set up Firefox Sync?]]

  • How can I quickly view pdf files like I can do with Windows Picture and Fax viewer for jpg files?

    How can I quickly view pdf files like I can do with Windows Picture and Fax viewer for jpg files? I need to look at several thousand PDF files. It takes too long to open each one individually. The only thing I could think of is combining them into large groups and then using the Navigation index. But I like the way windows Picture and Fax Viewer does it because you can keep the files separate. Combining PDFs causes loss of individual file names. That would be a problem since I do need to have the individual file names.

    Windows Picture and Fax Viewer is a DLL and is started via a rundll32.exe call and can't be set as an application to handle images in Firefox 3 and later versions.
    Try to set Windows Picture and Fax Viewer as the default viewer in Windows, then it should be listed automatically in the Mozilla Firefox Browse dialog.

    TM does not work like that.
    If you want files to use later.. do not use TM.
    Or do not use TM to the same location. Plug a USB drive into the computer and use that as the target for the permanent backup.
    Read some details of how TM works so you understand what it will do.
