How to import /export bookmarks in Firefox for Mac

I wanted to export my bookmarks in Firefox for Mac, in htm or pdf format. Cant find any command for that. Nor any import from htm or pdf. Nor can I list all my bookmarks aplhabetically ; I have lots of bookmarks in different folders and I want to see all these bookmarks listed with no folders.

In Firefox for OS X, you can export your Bookmarks to HTML via the Bookmarks dialouge window.
Open your Bookmarks dialouge via the Menu bar: Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks.
When the new window has opened, this is what you can do to export your Bookmarks: https://support.mozilla.org/media/uploads/images/2012-09-16-05-44-02-10bc19.png (or view the image attachment).

Hi. Just switched from PC to MAC (lion 6.7) and I am trying to import my bookmarks but Firefox for mac will not recognize the file. How do I move my bookmarks to my MAC from my PC?

Hi. Just switched from PC to MAC (lion 6.7) and I am trying to import my bookmarks but Firefox for MAC will not recognize the Bookmark back up file. How do I move my bookmarks to my MAC from my PC?

Make sure that the backup file with the bookmarks has the correct file extension: .html for a HTML backup and .json for a JSON backup. 
You can check that via the right-click context menu of that file and open the Properties. 
If you are not sure about the file type then you can open the file in Firefox via "File > Open File" 
A JSON backup will show as one long text line without line breaks and a HTML backup as a web page with clickable links. 
A JSON backup starts with: <nowiki>{"title":"","id":1,"dateAdded":</nowiki> 
An HTML backup starts with: <nowiki><!DOCTYPE NETSCAPE-Bookmark-file-1></nowiki>

How do I export bookmarks from Firefox for Mobile (android) to an html file?

I have bookmarks on my Firefox for Mobile v 33.1 that I would like to copy/back up to an html file. Even if I access the desktop version on my tablet I don't see the Show all Bookmarks - Import/Export option. This Android profile used to be linked through the old Firefox Sync to my PC but the issue is that I can't access it from my PC anymore as I just had to replace the hard disk. I have now installed the new Firefox on my PC but it won't sync with the old Android version as the new Firefox Sync is not compatible with the old one. Also when I go under Sync on the Android, it says the email account is deprecated.
Going forward I understand I need to remove account on the Android, update to the new Firefox Sync and newly link PC and Android device. However I have read that If I remove the account on my Android Firefox and set up the new Firefox Sync on it, I will lose my old bookmarks and it will only start saving and syncing bookmarks from then on even if I use the same email address to set it up. If this is the case and before taking this step, is there a way I can copy my old Android bookmarks to an html file?
All suggestions very much appreciated! I'm completely lost.
Thanks

Tangram that is an answer for desktop Firefox. It does not apply to Firefox for Android.
There is no way to export bookmarks/history in Firefox for Android.
However your Firefox sync account is unrelated to the Firefox for Android profile. You can safely remove the account without loss of data. Then set up a new Sync Account.

How do I Exporting bookmarks from Firefox 5.o.1 to Safari?

I went to Help and was informed to use "Organize Bookmarks".
Under the Bookmarks in the Tool Bar there does not appear to be that command.

"Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks" has been renamed to "Show All Bookmarks" in Firefox 4 and later.

I need to reload (resend information) multiple tabs in less than a second (I am playing Travian), but how can I do this with firefox for mac?

When I try to send multiple attacks within a second playing Travian, it is impossible because it is too slow to confirm "resend information" on each tab, and it also takes too long to move from one tab to another. I've tried changing all the possible settings I can think of, but nothing seems to work.. This works fine if you have windows or linux, so how can I make this work with my mac, or do I have to get a pc just for that :( Thank you ever so much for helping me.. I've spent countless hours on this and I am just about to give up playing Travian because of this one stupid little thing :(

It is working for me if I open a second Firefox instance with its own profile by starting Firefox with the -no-remote command line switch.

Use the -no-remote command line switch to open another Firefox instance with its own profile and to run different Firefox instances simultaneously.

I want to download Firefox for Mac OS 10.4.11, but it downloads Firefox 4 even when I click on 3.6 0r 3.5. How can I download the correct Firefox for Mac OS 10.4.11??

I have Mac OS 10.4.11. My Mac Laptop Pro has a new hard drive and has been completely refurbished by Apple. However ever since, I have not been able to obtain the correct Firefox. Prior to the replacement of my hardrive, I had Firefox and used it for many years. Not being able to download the correct Firefox is frustrating. Firefox 4 will NOT work on Mac OS 10.4.11. But every time I click on a download of 3.5 or 3.6 the download turns out to be Firefox 4. I cannot use Firefox 4, do not want Firefox 4 but it keeps trying to plant itself on my computer even though it will NOT work on my computer. YIKES!!!!

There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

I had all my files, including bookmarks, backed up to my NAS when my hard drive failed. How do I import these bookmarks to Firefox on my new notebook? Is there a single HTML file I should be looking for on my NAS?

I had all my files, including bookmarks, backed up to my NAS when my hard drive failed. How do I import these bookmarks to Firefox on my new notebook? I can easily find the folder "Favorites" on my NAS, but can't get Firefox to "see" this folder, or my bookmarks.

If you open Firefox then Firefox will always use the default profile folder as found via profiles.ini on your system drive.
You either need to import the file in your current default profile or copy the file to your current profile folder while Firefox is closed.
Firefox 3 stores the bookmarks and the browser history in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/places.sqlite places.sqlite] and no longer creates an HTML backup by default.
There are also (five) JSON backups in the bookmarkbackups folder within the Firefox profile folder.
You can either copy the file places.sqlite to your [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] or import the most recent JSON backup from the bookmarkbackups folder of that old profile.
See:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Backing_up_and_restoring_bookmarks_-_Firefox
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
"Application Data" in XP/Win2K and "AppData" in Vista/Windows 7 are hidden folders.
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders
Go to: Control Panel > Folder Options > "View" tab > under "Hidden files and folders", select "Show hidden files and folders".
You may want to un-check the box "Hide extensions for known file types" to see the file extensions of all files.

How do I import Delicious bookmarks into Firefox with tags?

How do I import Delicious bookmarks into Firefox Bookmarks Organizer so the tags port over? I tried importing but the tags are not coming over.

I recommend Xmarks. For the long-winded reasons why there's nothing better, read below.
[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/xmarks-sync/ https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/xmarks-sync/]
# Once installed, run the setup wizard and sign up for a free Xmarks account.
# Once signed up, sync your bookmarks.
# Head over to [http://my.xmarks.com/ my.xmarks.com/] and click the '''Tools''' menu option on the page, then choose '''Import Bookmarks From Del.icio.us...'''
# Enter your del.icio.us login information so Xmarks can import your bookmarks.
# You should see a list of your del.icio.us bookmarks. Click the '''CHECK ALL''' button, then the '''IMPORT CHECKED ITEMS''' button.
# When Xmarks next syncs your bookmarks, you will have all of your del.icio.us bookmarks complete with tags, in a folder named "Imported from Delicious ''date of import''".
# If you're the untrusting sort, change your del.icio.us account password.
There are two official Delicious extensions at the moment. "[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/delicious-bookmarks/ Delicious Bookmarks]" which not compatible with Firefox 4.0.x, and "[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/delicious-extension/ Delicious Extension]" which is marked as compatible but doesn't actually work.
@u48998 |
Slurp didn't work for me. I got all the prompts like I was supposed to, but clicking the '''Export''' button on the delicious page changed its text to '''Please Wait...''' and it just got stuck like that with no way to continue.
Apart from that, I was rather uneasy about installing an unreviewed extension from an author I've never heard of.
@the-edmeister |
You have that backwards. It's Firefox that does not either import or export tags from or to bookmarks.html. The only way to preserve tags when exporting is to create a json backup; these types of files wipe out all existing bookmarks when imported.

How can I backup/save my Firefox for Android bookmarks?

I would like to be able to save/export/backup my Firefox for Android bookmarks to a file on my Samsung Tab 2 tablet for safety.
How can this be done or CAN it even be done.
Thanks

They cannot be backed up to a file. You can use Firefox Sync, https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-set-up-firefox-sync

How to import book marks from Firefox

How do you import bookmarks from Firefox?
Thanks,
Sam

You may find as I did that you don't have to export anything from your existing browser(s).
Go into Safari and click on the 'book' icon on the toolbar below your navigation bar.
This will bring up the Bookmark page below. Scan through the list of the left-hand side of the screen.
What I saw was that there were 2 folders included already (without exporting anything); one for imported IE bookmarks, and another for Imported Firefox bookmarks. I then selected all of the links inside my Firefox folder and dragged them into the Bookmarks Menu folder and that was all I needed to do. I didn't want my IE bookmarks, so I deleted that folder along with my now empty Firefox bookmarks folder.
You may have similar luck if you check here first. You can always manually export/import later if you wish.

How to install Firefox for Mac on an external USB 3.0 drive and run Firefox portable?

I recently acquired a new MacBook Pro 10.9 Mavericks laptop and, I would like to to install Firefox for Mac on a Mac-compatible external USB 3.0 HD, and import my 16MB of legacy bookmarks from a PC-compatible USB 2.0 HD and, run Firefox as a portable application, as I did for years on my 7-year-old EOS'd Dell Inspiron XP laptop.
Do-able?
If so, I would like to do the same with Thunderbird...

Hi,
There are portable versions of Firefox and Thunderbird but Mozilla doesn't offer them directly. You can get them from PA.com. Links are below:
*[http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable Firefox 28.0]
*[http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/thunderbird_portable Thunderbird 24.4.0]
All you have to do is open it, and point the installation directory to your USB Stick
