How do I update bookmarks?

I don't know if this is a problem or a functionality request, but here goes: If the URL of a bookmarked page changes (e g due to site restructuring) I would like to be able to add the new bookmark in such a way that it replaces the old one, rather than getting added beside it. This is done in IE - if I add a bookmark with an already excisting name, I get a dialogue box asking me if I want to replace it. This doesn't seem to be the case in FF, though. So, is there some way to turn on his functionality (or a plug-in to add it), or will I just have to go ask the developers and hope they will consider it in the future?

Go to '''Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks'''
That should open the library window. In the Library window, select the bookmark you want to update, and manually edit the ''Location'' field.
The Update Bookmark extension might help as well. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/689/

  • I updated to Yosemite on my Mac. Firefox then began to freeze. I uninstalled Firefox and then downloaded/installed it again. How do I recover bookmarks, etc?

    I updated to Yosemite on my iMac. Firefox then began to freeze. I uninstalled Firefox and then downloaded/installed it again. It's possible I uninstalled everything Mozilla related. I'm not sure. How do I recover bookmarks, passwords, etc? I don't believe I previously had a username & password for Mozilla. I do have my Mac backed up in Time machine and also a Carbon Copy Clone.
    Also, I was able to migrate setting from Safari. Perhaps I don't want some of that stuff? Looking at the list of installed plugins, I have no clue if they're standard Apple/Mozilla stuff, or if they were selected by me/my family earlier in Safari? Are any of them a threat to my online security?
    Any detailed instruction would be most appreciated. I'm not much of a tech guy.
    Thanks.

  • I need to update to 6.0 but it doesn't work--I've tried several times and it never gets past the stage of "connecting to update server"--so how can I update without uninstalling first and losing all my bookmarks and passwords?

    I have a MacBook Pro with Lion. Every few days Firefox will tell me, "you really need to update to 6.0," and I say, "yes please!" but then it says "connecting to update server" for ages and ages and nothing ever happens. I wouldn't mind uninstalling the old one and downloading a new one, except that I have lots of bookmarks and passwords saved, and I don't want to lose them all. So what's going on, how can I update?

    Thanks, but, using the "free" version of Reader, there is no opportunity to open nor import the xml data - the menu options do not exist - there is no import listed.
    If we try to open the xml file directly, then we get an error - something to the effect of "unsupported file type, or the file is corrupted".
    I just noticed in my Pro version that there is the command File ->Form Data ->Import Data to Form... command. Is this what you are referring to?
    What do you recommend? Perhaps the easiest thing to do would be to purchase a few copies of Acrobat Pro for the reservations people to use? I was hoping that the free version of reader would do it, but perhaps not?
    Thanks again,
    Rob

  • How to update bookmarks when merging two PDF files?

    We have a company catalog that gets generated once a night.  It's three step process:
         Step 1)  A raw XML file gets generated from our main ERP software (Microsoft Dynamics).
         Step 2)  Then that raw XML file is ran against a stylesheet with XEP to produce a nice professional looking catalog.
         Step 3)  And the third step is a script that merges the front and back covers with the main catalog produced in step 2.  Each cover is two pages (front and back).
    My problem is when step 3 runs it produces a final catalog but all the bookmarks are off by 2 pages because the front cover adds two pages in the very beginning.  This post may be premature because up until now I've been merging the PDF pages with a program called "GhostScript" and it allows me to merge them via line command.  I'm just now trying out AcroExch.App COM Object for VBScript so I'll see if it works but wanted to fire this out for help to see if anyone has encountered this or can confirm if Adobe automatically updates them for you?  When I "Merge" the PDF files through Acrobat Pro they get updated automatically, so hopefully it will work the same way with AcroExch.App Object.   Thanks guy!

    I think you might be misunderstanding what I'm saying... we are not performing tasks for non-licensed individuals.  We purchased a copy of Adobe Acrobat Standard so we could create a PDF of our catalog.  That catalog we then put on our website and let people download it.  Since our products change all the time, we generate a new catalog every night.  The term "server" is just a place where a script runs, I could have it run on my desktop computer if that's really an issue but I think we're talking semantics.  Acrobat is not what produces the main catalog PDF, that is done through XEP when it runs through the raw XML produced by our ERP software every night.  The only thing we want Acrobat to do is an automated process to merge 3 PDF files together:  Front Cover, Main Catalog and Back Cover.  That's it.   Are you saying that is against the EULA of Adobe for us to do that? 
    Now for the bookmark problem, what do you recommend I do then?  When I merge all three of those PDF files in Acrobat Standard manually it works perfect.  All I'm trying to do is automate that process once every night.  I know how to automate with Acrobat, I just can't figure out how to fix the bookmark problem?

  • How to restore safari bookmarks after osi update

    how to restore safari bookmarks after ios. update

    The only way is to restore from a useful backup, if you have one.
    If you sync the iPad to iTunes and use Time Machine regularly, you would likely have the appropriate backup to restore from. In that case:
    Restore the iPad backup set from Time Machine from a date before you overwrote the bookmarks. The location of the backup is ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/ (you can get to it by pressing Cmd+Shift+G in the Finder and entering this path).
    Connect the iPad, run iTunes and restore from the backup.
    If you use iCloud Backup, then you can restore from iCloud and choose which date's backup you'd like to restore from. You can check if you're using iCloud Backup by opening the Settings app on the iPad, then going to the iCloud submenu and looking at the status right below "Storage & Backup", where it would say "iCloud Backup is off." (or "iCloud Backup is on.", as the case may be).
    In any case, keep in mind that restoring from a backup means you lose all application data changes after the date of the backup.
    Also see Restoring from a previous iCloud backup.

  • Sync with .mac to update bookmarks on two PCs

    I have a mac mini and a mac book. I want to keep my bookmarks updated on both. I used to have the ability to sync the two, but now I can't since I installed 10.4.7. How do I update my bookmarks so that they are all the same on .mac and the two PCs?

    You have posted your query in the iSync forum, and are unlikely to receive the attention you issue requires, as iSync has had nothing at all to do with .Mac Sync since the release of Mac OS X 10.4 more than a year ago. You should instead have posted in the .Mac Sync forum, here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=957
    To reset sync history, do this:
    • launch the System Preferences application
    • select the .Mac pane
    • press the Advanced tab
    • once your registered computers appear in the list, press the Reset Sync Data… button
    • select Bookmarks from the Replace: drop-down menu
    • press the right facing arrow so that the orange animated arrow moves from left to right
    • press the Replace button
    This will move a copy of your Safari bookmarks on that machine to .Mac, and through it, to the other computer in your pool. You may then have to go to the .Mac bookmarks area and either turn on synchronization—or turn it off and turn it back on once again—by first pressing the Open Bookmarks button, and the the switch icon in the page which then appears.

  • Adding or updating bookmarks

    The bookmarks that were added from my IE7 favorites aren't up-to-date. How do I update my bookmarks in Safari? Also, if I want to delete the IE7 folder that is not current in Safari and start over, how do I find the right folder to import all of my IE7 favorites/bookmarks without a window telling me "file not found"?

    Hi,
    Unlike employee in your own company, B1 has only Contact Persons for Business Partner. There is no First Name and Last Name fields in this table (OCPR). You can only add the full name in one field.
    You may create UDF to get them if you like.

  • Safari 7.0.5 updating bookmark issues

    I just got a new 27" iMac running 10.9.4 at work and copied my old Safari Bookmarks.plist to our server. In trying to put them on the new computer, I no longer have the Library/Safari in my Home folder to drag the bookmarks.plist into. How do I update my Safari bookmarks? I tried to make a Library folder in the Home but it said there is already a Library folder, but it does not show up. HELP! I have too many Bookmarks I need and do not want to lose. It sounded simple online when it said just replace the Bookmarks.plist over the Home/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist
    In home the folders that show up are Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Movies, Music, Pictures and Public.

    Select
              File ▹ Import Bookmarks
    from the Safari menu bar. Import from the old bookmarks file.

    I have a hundred or so bookmarks. I would like to see them come up by category such as - Banks&Financial; Shopping; Ancestry; Travel; etc. Even subcategories such as Travel: Airlines, Hotels, Auto Rental

    Bookmark folders may be a good solution; I have thousands of Bookmarks in hundreds of "nested" folders. <br />
    Subcategories: You can use "nested" folders (folders within folders); try to limit number of "nested" levels to 4 or 5.

  • Deploying Mozilla Firefox 10.0.5 ESR and Update Bookmarks & other settings

    Hi,
    need help to include new bookmarks on the user browser during the upgrade via SCCM and making sure that the old bookmarks are in place as well after the upgrade installation is complete.
    Or, how to merge the old and new bookmarks in Mozilla with the help of packaging tool Wise, InstallShield or Adminstudio.
    Is there any command line to include new bookmarks in Firefox. We have to use either script, command line or EXE to include new bookmarks.
    Customization Required:
    # Custom home page
    # Auto-Update Settings
    # Set Default Search Engine
    # Include Flash player Add-in
    # update bookmarks
    The above customization need to be performed during fresh install and upgrade using EXE or MSI.

    You can initialize the bookmarks via a bookmarks.html file placed in defaults\profile (needs to be created), but AFAIK then there is no way to merge new bookmarks with existing bookmarks via the command line or otherwise apart from importing an HTML file in the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks ).
