How to have Firefox use same bookmark file when running on either Windows XP or Ubuntu (dual boot desktop)

Recently installed Ubuntu 10.04 on my desktop in a dual-boot configuration with Windows XP. (Ubuntu is awesome !)
I can run Firefox on either OS - each version maintaining its own bookmark file.
Is there any way to have each version of Firefox look in the same place for the bookmark file ? That would remove the need to regularly export/import bookmarks between versions to keep them in sync.
Thanks !
Andrew Chorlton

You can use Firefox Sync.

How to have Firefox working in Frame Buffer?

Hi everyone.
In according with this thread, I've created this one.
I've tried to reboot and * run Firefox in Linux Tty and in Fbpad * (that is quite as Fbterm), and it doesn't work.
But, in the case of Tty, it * can't find any display *, in the case of Fbpad it * found "fb0" display *.
In both cases if I set the * "$DISPLAY" variable * (I use Bash), it says to me that can't open the specified display, whatever I set.
What am I missing?
Thank so much in advance.

Good morning to everyone and thanks for the reply.
I'm becoming confused.
@ Jristz:
have you run all those stuff in X or in the Tty?
I'm talking about how to run them in Tty.
@ WonderWoofy:
I'm reading the link. Thanks.
@ jasonwryan:
I don't understand your post. Did you mean that you can run also Libreoffice in Tty?
Edit:
@ tomk:
Yeah, I'm confused right now.
So it's as I thought. It's possible just via DirectFb.
Now the question is: how?
I've already tried with Firefox, with DFB documentation without luck.
My goal would just be to have a "graphical" browser * outside * X. Just to have a decent Javascript support.
I already can read my mail, pdf, images, browsing the web (W3m for inline image and Elinks for navigation via hints), watching video (Flash too) anche listen to music. And for panels, session and keyboard shortcuts I use a scripted Tmux.
I know that support for "Office files" still left but it's not so important and we do what we can.
But what about Javascript?
Thank so much.

[SOLVED] How to have Firefox store personal data in Truecrypt volume??

I would like to start using Truecrypt and create a volume that will store all of the cache/cookies/settings/etc. of Firefox. I see the Truecrypt page on the wiki and am going to make the volume with it, but how would I get Firefox to start putting all of its data in there??
TIA for any help

When my wife goes to login to Yahoo mail, my email Id and password automatically appear. How do I tell Firefox not to populate these fields with my id and passwords. Basically how do we not have firefox automatically fill in these fields.

When my wife was already login to our shared computer, I went into Yahoo email and told the computer to save my login and password. Now, everytime my wife goes to login to her Yahoo email my ID and Password are filled in. How do we have firefox not remember the Yahoo ID and Password for anyone?

If I already have firefox open in Linux, how can I open a new URL in a new window.

I want to be able to click on a button, and have firefox open a new window at a given URL. Currently, if I already have firefox running, then it opens a new tab, which may be on a different desktop. Having to detach the new tab to a new window and move it back to the right desktop seems like unnecessary work.

If you mean a shortcut or link ''completely outside of Firefox,'' there is a hidden preference to change how that works. This requires a visit to the about:config preferences editor. I think it's (C) below that you might want to change.
In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
In the filter box, type or paste '''link.o''' and pause while the list is filtered.
Double click these and set the value as desired:
'''(A) browser.link.open_newwindow'''
3 = divert new window to a new tab (default) (checked*) 
2 = allow link to open a new window (unchecked*) 
1 = force new window into same tab
'''*''' First checkbox in Options > Tabs
'''(B) browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction''' - for links in Firefox tabs
0 = apply the setting under (A) to ALL new windows (even script windows) 
2 = apply the setting under (A) to normal windows, but NOT to script windows with features (default) 
1 = override the setting under (A) and always use new windows
'''(C) browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external''' - for links in other programs
-1 = apply the setting under (A) to external links (default) 
3 = open external links in a new tab in the last active window 
'''2 = open external links in a new window''' 
1 = open external links in the last active tab replacing the current page
Does that work?

I have Firefox 6.0 running under Windows XL. When I forward an email with a URL in it, my recipients tell me the URL is not highlighted and they have to cut and paste it into their browser. Why? How can I get my forwarded URLs to be highlighted?

If you think getting your web pages to appear OK in all the major browsers is tricky then dealing with email clients is way worse. There are so many of them.
If you want to bulk email yourself, there are apps for it and their templates will work in most cases...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Website-Email-Marketing/EBlast.html
This one will create the form, database and send out the emails...

The alternative is to use a marketing service if your business can justify the cost. Their templates are tested in all the common email clients...

How do I transfer my bookmarks from one computer to another? I have Firefox Home on my phone and I can get them there, but I want to have the same bookmarks on my home computer as I do on my work computer.

How do I transfer my bookmarks from one computer to another? I have Firefox Home on my phone and I can get them there, but I want to have the same bookmarks on my home computer as I do on my work computer. 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!

Have firefox 2.0.0.20/upgraded my mac operating system to 10.4.11, and how do I upgrade firefox to 3.6 if that is best

I presently have firefox 2.0.0.20. which I used on my older os 20.28 for my mac. I just upgraded my mac os to a 10.4.11. I have been told that firefox 4.0 doesn't work on this os and to use 3.6 firefox...is that correct and if so how do I get it to download? thank you. MMHR

For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4.0, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8 .

How to have two Firefox in the same machine?

I have Firefox installed from the repo (Namoroka), but I also want to have another version to use exclusively with Tor.
Downloading it from Mozilla's official website and running the executable doesn't work because it opens Namoroka. How should it be done?

You can create a 2nd profile with: firefox -ProfileManager (you have to close all firefox instances to do that)

How do i remove an outdated version of firefox from my applicatins. some how i have installed 2 versions: both 3.6 and 8.0

Make sure that you still have a default profile folder.

You can check the target line in the Firefox desktop shortcut (right-click: Properties) to make sure that nothing is appended after the path to the Firefox program.
Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
*Download the full Firefox installer and save the file to the desktop http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
If possible uninstall your current Firefox version to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove "personal data" when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords including data in profiles created by other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
*(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
*It is important to delete the Firefox program to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

I have no idea how to use Firefox. I used to have Internet Explorer 7 but am unable to connect to it anymore. How do I use Firefox? I know how to use a computer, somewhat, but am not as savy as I'd like to be. I will appreciate your help.

You can look at this post in this MozillaZine forum thread about inspecting a sessionstore file and possibly extract URLs.

You can open the Browser Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer).
Paste the JavaScript code in the command line and press the Enter key to run the code.
*Toggle the devtools.chrome.enabled pref on the about:config page to true to enable the command line

Have Firefox home page set for Google search, but each following tab opens w/Yahoo search instead. How do I remove the Yahoo and have Google home page on every tab????

As I said above: I Have Firefox browser home page set for Google search, but each following tab (but suddenly now it) opens w/Yahoo search instead. How do I remove the Yahoo search off the added tabs and have Google home page/ blank tab (like it used to be) on every tab????

The new Firefox Start Page - '''about:home''' - isn't the same homepage that was used in earlier versions of Firefox - http://www.google.com/firefox There is no "setting" for the "Search Container" on the about:home "page" - in the Options UI or in about:config .
Set that old "Mozilla Firefox Start Page" as your "homepage". 
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
Or open your Profile folder and delete the '''webappsstore.sqlite''' file and hope the "Search Container" on the about:home "page" returns to Google. When it '''''is''''' Google, the Google logo appears to the left of the "Search Container"; when the search engine there has been changed to something else, there is no logo to the left of the "Search Container" - AFAIK.
