How I import bookmarks from 1 browser to Safari?

Hello everyone.
How I import bookmarks from 1 browser to Safari?
This applies to version 5.0.1

It is Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox
Thanks.
To export your bookmarks from Chrome, see:
[Bookmarks: Import or export bookmarks|http://www.google.com/support/chrome/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=96816 ]
To export your bookmarks from Firefox, go "Bookmarks > Organise Bookmarks". In the bookmarks Library screen, go "Import and Backup > Export HTML".
Once you've got the bookmarks html files from Chrome or Firefox, in Safari bring up your menu bar and go "File > Import Bookmarks". Browse to the html file you exported from Safari or Chrome, select the html file, and click "Open". That'll take you to the Bookmarks page in Safari. The bookmarks will be in a new folder called "Imported <DateYouImportedThem>".

How to import bookmarks from iPhone to Mac using iTunes?

Can anyone tell me how to import bookmarks from an iPhone onto my desktop (iMac)? All of our bookmarks were accidentally deleted from our mini mac, which then deleted them from our desktop with iCloud. My wife has all the bookmarks on her phone but we can't figure out how to sync them. The only info we could find was to click the info button on iTunes and then sync, but there is no info button. Any help?

If you have OS X 10.9 Mavericks, then at this time there is no direct syncing of bookmarks, contacts nor calendar items between a Mac and an iOS device. All synching is done via iCloud. If there's another way to transfer your bookmarks from the iPhone to your Mac, I'm not aware of it, unless there's a third-party browser for the iPhone that could import the bookmarks from Safari and then transfer them by some other method. But if you set your wife's iPhone up to your iCloud account, that should then sync.
Regards.

How to import bookmarks from an older PC to a new one on the home network

I have a new PC (Windows 7 and MS Office 2010) and as I was starting up the first day I saw a message that a network had been detected and asking whether I wished to import bookmarks from an earlier one.
I ignored it at the time as I had plenty of other things to set up, but would now like to import them PROVIDED that they would not be deleted from the old PC.
I cannot now find the link.

How to import bookmarks from the hd of a dead laptop using Windows 8.

Hello,
I have tried the other solutions listed for this issue but none of them seem to work. My profile folder for the older version of firefox is empty, and I don't find APPDATA or any .json files even when files are unhidden. I would be grateful if you could provide an alternative method for importing old bookmarks from an external hd to a new computer than runs Windows 8.
Many thanks in advance.

Hi,
Please try this: Open your current profile folder via Firefox '''Help''' ('''Alt''' + '''H''') > '''Troubleshooting Information''' > '''Show Folder''', exit Firefox, and delete '''places.sqlite''' into the Recycle Bin. Next, open the drive letter corresponding to the external HD (usually it would be listed after your current drives i.e. if your laptop has C and D drives, the attached external HD would start at E), browse to '''E:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles''', open the folder inside, copy the '''places.sqlite''' into your current Firefox profile folder opened earlier via Firefox, and start Firefox.

How do Import bookmarks from google toolbar into firefox 6.02

Firefox 6.02 does not support google toobar add on. I have a ton of bookmarks in google toolbar and would need at least to import them to firefox but I do not see any way of doing it.
Please advise urgently

You can open the Bookmarks Manager in Google Chrome (wrench icon > Bookmarks > Bookmarks Manager) and select "Tools > Export Bookmarks"
This will export the Chrome bookmarks to a file bookmarks.html.
You can import that file in Firefox: Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import HTML : "From File"

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:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1036975
I'll provide an answer for you in that thread.

'''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 '''

Run time error when trying to import bookmarks from firefox

When trying to import bookmarks from Firefox to Safari I get the following error message: "Run Time Error. This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way." Safari does not function anymore and I have to close it. Can somebody help me? I am using a PC with Windows 7.

In the Bookmarks Manager (Library) there is a toolbar with the Back and Forward button and three other buttons (Organize, Views, Import & Backup).
* The first (gear) button is the Organize button with basic edit menu items for bookmarks
* The second button is the Views button that allows to change the sort order for viewing purposes (doesn't sort permanently).
* The third (star) button is the Import & Backup button that allows to backup and restore a JSON backup and import and export an HTML backup and import bookmarks from other browsers.
Hover each button to see the tooltip or click each of them to see what they do.

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.

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.

Cannot import bookmarks from Safari because "import" option is NOT highlighted (not available). Why?

MacBook Pro - FireFox 4
I was able in the past (earlier FireFox versions) to import bookmarks from Safari when clicking on the "Organize Bookmarks." This now is not available. Instead, under "file" there is an "import" option but it is NOT highlighted, i.e., it is not available for clicking. How do you import bookmarks from Safari (or any other browser) after you have used FireFox for a while. i.e., not when you first set it up, but later?

"Organize Bookmarks" has been renamed to "Show All Bookmarks" in the bookmarks menu.
The option to import can be disabled if you are in private browsing mode. To stop Firefox opening in private browsing mode do this:
# Open the Preferences window and go to the Privacy panel
# Change the setting "Firefox will" to "Remember history", alternatively if you set it to "Use custom settings for history", de-select the setting "Permanent Private Browsing mode"
