How do I sync the bookmarks from Safari with those in Firefox?

I have a PC running Firefix and Firefox Sync okay. I have an ipad 2 with Firefox Home installed and connected okay to my FF sync account.
I was expecting FF Home to sync the bookmarks on ipad Safari with those on the desktop. Apparently not so.
I can see the desktop bookmarks within the FF Home app on the ipad.
How do I...
- Properly sync bookmarks between the two systems (FF on desktop and Safari on iPad?)
- Failing that, how do I sync the bookmarks on the iPad with Firefox? Currently it seems to be a one-way transfer (i.e. I can only access the bookmarks on the desktop PC from the iPad)
Thanks
James

Thanks for the quick response. At least I know now, and won't waste any time tying to get it to do something it wasn't coded for.
Regards
James

    How do I copy my bookmarks from Safari on my iMac to my new iPhone 6?

    Hello!
    Here is the manual. iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer - Apple Support
    - Note that the manual presupposes you have Mountain Lion installed on your Mac, which is what it says in your message, so I'm assuming you have.
    Also, I suppose you're not using iCloud. If you ARE using iCloud on your Mac and iPhone, I recommend using that for your bookmarks over USB-syncing. Here's the manual for that: iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Bookmarks and Reading List - Apple Support
    The relevant excerpt:
    Turn iCloud Bookmarks off and back on:
    Quit Safari.
    Choose Apple () menu > System Preferences, then click the icon for iCloud.
    If you are using OS X Mavericks or Mountain Lion, deselect the checkbox next to Safari. If you are using OS X Lion, deselect the checkbox next to Bookmarks.
    Close System Preferences and wait about a minute.
    Open System Preferences and choose iCloud.
    Select the checkbox next to Safari (or Bookmarks). Click Merge.
    Close System Preferences.
    Open Safari and test to see if the issue is resolved.

  • HT4759 Cannot sync my bookmarks from Safari Web Browser to iPad.

    I cannot sync my bookmarks from Safari Web Browser to my iPad.
    When connected to iTunes it lists that my bookmarks are being synced via iCloud, but I cannot see where my bookmarks are being stored on iCloud.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    I have loaded my Firefox bookmarks into Internet Explorer Favorited. I also uninstalled Safari.
    I go to iTunes on my phone and see no wat to connect my iPhone to my laptop. I see Music, Shows, etc., the kind of stuff I would expect, but no clue as to how to proceed.
    Would you please be so kind to fill me in on how to "That syncing is done via iTunes. Connect the device to iTunes, select it, then go to the Summary page and select to sync bookmarks."?
    I am not sure what you mean by "Summary Page"
    Thank you

    Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old comptuer, to your new one.

  • I am not able to access Firefox under one user account on my computer so I created another account. How can I transfer the bookmarks from the old account?

    I use windows Vista and I cannot open Firefox under one user account (I keep receiving the "firefox profile cannot be loaded . . ." error message) on my computer so I created another account. How can I transfer the bookmarks from the old account?

    NOTE: you can skip this 1st step.
    Step 1
    I'm on Win7 so the paths might be slightly different... C:\Users\(YOUR PC ACCOUNT)\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\bnelgkol.default\bookmarkbackups ... Find the "bookmarks-[DATE].json" you want and copy it to the profile you want. You may want to change the date to a name you will recognize.
    Step 2
    Then on your browser "Bookmarks>Show All Bookmarks or Ctrl+Shift+B ". This will bring up the Bookmark Organizer, I think they call it Library now. From there click "Import & Back up>Restore" this will bring up a drop down with your back ups. If you followed step 1, find the json you added and select it. If you skipped step 1, from "Import & Back up>Restore" select "Choose File..." Then browser for the json you want to import. Which should be in a similar location as mentioned in step 1.
    NOTE: "AppData" is a hidden folder, will have to set show hidden folders to be able to see it.

  • How does one sync the new time capsule with the old airport extreme and airport express in order to extend range?

    How does one sync the new time capsule with the old airport extreme and airport express in order to extend range?

    Thanks for the additional information.
    Unfortunately, the AirPort Utility application in the Lion and Mountain Lion operating systems, which is used to configure the new Time Capsule does not support the older versions of the products that you have.
    Even if it did, there are no settings on the older AirPorts to "Extend a wireless network", so they are not compatible with the new Time Capsule if you intend to extend the network only using wireless connections.
    If you have the ability to connect each AirPort to the Time Capsule using a permanent wired Ethernet cable connection, it might be possible to use a complicated workaround to install an older version of AirPort Utility to configure the older AirPorts to work with the new Time Capsule.
    If you have another Mac there that is using the Leopard or Snow Leoapard operating system, things would likely be simpler. I have not done this type of procedure to mix a new Time Capsule with older AirPorts, so I would not be able to say whether this would work or not.

  • Since the import feature is missing from the Firefox 9 File menu, how do I import my bookmarks from Safari on an iMac using Lion?

    I don't know what to add to the question, which is quite specific. I downloaded Firefox 9, but cannot find the Import section on the File Menu, as in previous versions, and as in the help section in Firefox Help.

    i had the same problem you describe. the simplest way i found to import my bookmarks from safari is to: with firefox open click on "bookmarks" then " show all bookmarks". you will get a folder titled "library". in the menu bar you will see a 5 pointed star. click on it to open the drop down box. one of the options is to "import data from another browser". then follow the instructions from there. this worked for me. hope this helps.

  • I am changing computers, how do I move the bookmarks from one computer to another? WinXP Pro on both, FF $.0 on both. I have found the json file, now what?

    I found the places.sqlite folder......it still will not accept the bookmarks from the other computer

    There's too much above for me to specifically answer your questions, but I'll assume from the title that you're basically trying to sync to a new computer.  So here are some articles to help you.

  • My pc crashed and bought a new one.  how do i sync the music from iphone to new pc?

    My primary pc for syncing both my iPhone and iPad crashed.  I have a new computer and have synced the apps but not the music on the iphone.  How can I transfer the music from the iPhone to the new computer?

    You need to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer files/docs/pics/music/etc.  Use this to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy (not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases
    The music sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases.
