How to save/backup bookmarks in firefox 5.01?

Dear Support,
Please teach me how to save/backup bookmarks in Firefox 5.01?
(1) On the File menu, there is only "Import" option but no "Export" option for me to export or save my Bookmarks.
(2) On the Bookmarks menu, there is no "Manage Bookmark" tab as some online help suggested.
Thank you.

  • How do you backup bookmarks in Firefox 11.0 and restore

    How do you take and backup the bookmarks in Firefox 11.0 being there is nothing under the menu's of where to go. Also how do you restore a backup in version 11

    nanceal, <br/> Maybe your problem is the integration of the Gnome or Unity Desktop and the Firefox User Interface in Ubuntu. Try clicking in the strip at the top of the bookmarks library adjacent to where it says Library. Do the options then appear ?
    I am using Ubuntu 11.04 with <s>Gnome</s>('''edit''' I posted a Unity example) Desktop and Firefox 11 so my setup will not be identical to yours. I have attached a screenshot .

    HOW DO I SAVE MY BOOKMARKS FROM FIREFOX AS I HAVE TO REINSTALL WINDOW ON MY LAPTOP

    This would be a multistep process. First you would need Firefox on your desktop computer then import the bookmarks from IE into Firefox. Then once the bookmarks are in Firefox they can be synced to Firefox mobile.

    The built-in Firefox Sync service allows you to store your settings, including bookmarks, on a Mozilla server. This isn't accessible as a file like Google Drive; it can only be used by connecting another copy of Firefox to your Sync account. You can read more about this here: [[How do I set up Firefox Sync?]] (I haven't tried it myself since it changed recently.)
    The cross-browser Xmarks service is more focused: it just does bookmarks. http://www.xmarks.com/ (I've never tried this one either)
    If you prefer working with files and you have a Dropbox or similar account, you could in theory back up your Firefox profile folder, or more particularly, the bookmarkbackups subfolder. I haven't tried that myself. To find the folder:
    Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using either
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
    * Help menu > Troubleshooting Information
    In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button
    A window should launch showing your currently active settings files. The bookmarkbackups folder should contain dated .json files which can be used to restore your bookmarks to another copy of Firefox.
    Alternately, someone might have created an add-on for saving Firefox bookmarks to the cloud another way, but I haven't heard of one.

  • How do I import Bookmarks from Firefox 28.0 into Firefox 29.0.1?

    How do I import Bookmarks from Firefox 28.0 into Firefox 29.0.1? I am running OS X 10.7.5 and just updated Firefox from 28.0 to 29.0.1. How do I import my old 28.0 bookmarks into 29.0.1? I've tried all the suggestions but nothing works. WHERE are my old bookmarks? Help, please!

    Your bookmarks can be imported and exported from the Library (Bookmarks Manager).
    *Go to the clipboard icon, click Show All Bookmarks <i>OR</i> press Cmd + Shift + B
    *Once there, you'll see Import and Backup (see screenshot), you have a choice to choose between backing up as a JSON (Import and Backup -> Backup) or HTML (Import and Backup - > Export bookmarks to HTML)
    Once this is done and the file has been backed up, you can import them using the same method (Import & Backup -> Backup for JSON/Import & Backup -> Import bookmarks from HTML (HTML)
    One of our awesome contributors explained the difference between a JSON backup and a HTML backup that is very explanatory:
    Restoring a JSON backup will replace all your current bookmarks (you get a warning about that), so if you already have bookmarks that you wish to keep then export them to an HTML file before restoring the JSON backup.
    You can import that HTML file after you have restored the JSON backup to get your current bookmarks back (you need to remove duplicates).
    You can't import a JSON backup to add (merge) bookmarks.
    Importing bookmarks from an HTML file adds the imported bookmarks to the already existing bookmarks, so you may need to remove duplicates.
    An HTML backup doesn't support tags and annotations, so if you want to preserve those then you need to use a JSON backup.
    A JSON backup doesn't preserve the website favicons, so you need to visit a website to get back that favicon.

    i want to renew my window and how to save backups which i hav on my itunes ??

    See Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy. As long as you copy your entire library over to the new/rebuilt computer your devices should sync with the library and will be backed up on the first sync. If you really want to backup the device backups see this support document iTunes: About iOS backups and backup the device backup folders, then restore them into your new profile.

    how to save bloger password in firefox 3.6.6 ?
    common ways at internet such as changing nsLoginManager.js is not working because the notepad cant save the new file.
    == URL of affected sites ==
    http://blogger.com

    Some sites like PayPal, Yahoo, Windows Live and bank sites use ''autocomplete="off"'' to prevent Firefox from saving the name and the password.
    If a site uses ''autocomplete="off"'' then look at this article for a bookmarklet to remove that autocomplete attribute.

  • BI 7.0 webtemplates - How to save a bookmark

    Hi,
    In 3.x webtemplates/web reports we can save the bookmarks on the IE explorer current session directly(not going for FAVOURITES), where as in BI 7.0 webtemplates this functionality is not there.
    I want the same functionality to implement in BI 7 templates, how can I change the 7 webtemplates, so that when I click on 'Bookmark' function it should not ask me to save in Favourites, but display the created bookmark in the current IE explorer .
    Thanks & regards
    Ramesh

    You can do a Copy & Paste in the Bookmarks Manager (Shift+Ctrl+B) to create a copy of a bookmark.
    You can also drag the (fav)icon in the location bar to a folder in the Bookmarks menu drop down list or to a folder in the side bar (Ctrl+B) or to the Bookmarks Toolbar.
    In the side bar you need to click to the left of the icon to prevent Firefox from opening the bookmark.

  • In JS, how to save a bookmark which can open in main, not sidebar?

    I did lots of search on the web. People have been struggling with this problem for many years.
    The scenario:
    My standard_weight.php takes height parameter either from $_GET or from $POST. The web page has a form to let users type in height.
    Control-D can save the location, but not the height.
    My page is too simple to ask users to create an account and save profile.
    So I want to provide a link users can click and bookmark the current page with height.
    <pre><nowiki><script language="JavaScript1.2" type="text/javascript">
    function CreateBookmarkLink() {
    title = "my ideal weight";
    height = function_to_get_current_height_value();
    url = "http://my.site.com/standard_weight.php?height=" + height ;
    if (window.sidebar) { // Mozilla Firefox Bookmark
    window.sidebar.addPanel(title, url,"");
    } else if( window.external ) { // IE Favorite
    window.external.AddFavorite( url, title);
    } else if(window.opera && window.print) { // Opera Hotlist
    alert("Sorry, your browser doesn't support this function." );
    return false ;
    if (window.external) {
    document.write('<a onClick ="javascript:CreateBookmarkLink();">Add to Favorites</a>');
    } else if (window.sidebar) {
    document.write('<a onClick ="javascript:CreateBookmarkLink();">Bookmark Page</a>');
    } else if (window.opera && window.print) {
    document.write('<a onClick ="javascript:CreateBookmarkLink();">Add Bookmark</a>');
    </script>
    </nowiki></pre>
    When the link is clicked , a dialog will pop up and the user can save the bookmark.
    The problem is that when the bookmark is opened, it is in sidebar. The bookmark property has the check for "Load this bookmark in the sidebar."
    Asking users to clear the check is not a friendly solution.
    Is there anyway to get around this problem?
    If you google this topic, you can find that people has been struggling with this for long time. I guess that they just end up with saying "sorry, your browser doesn't support this function." on Firefox.
    Best wishes to Firefox !

  • How to save backup in a target folder

    I am trying to figure out how to save a backup to a folder when I backup files like G:/Data Backup instead of creating a folder with a random name. I have a WD My passport portable hard drive using WD smartware.   With backups will it save to that target location and replace just files that have changed?

    You can't. All you can do is move the top level folder of the save from the root of the drive to somewhere a bit deeper down a file tree, e.g. your G:/Data Backup folder. But what will then happen is the WDSmartware.swstor folder will be created within that folder, and the device and drive sub-folders within that. It's done that way as Smartware is actually designed to work with NAS drives to save backups from multiple devices and multiple drives within those devices. The "random name" you describe isn't actually random, it's the ID of the individual drive(s) within the device you're backing up. For your case you might want to look at the new WD Backup Software, which may meet your needs a little better. I haven't tried it (as I need proper NAS backup, hence use Smartware), but from the description it's better suited to backups onto portable drives like your MP.

  • How do I transfer bookmarks from Firefox 3.6 on one computer to Firefox 4 on another computer?

    I have a new HP 6720 Pavillion Desktop using Windows 7 and downloaded FF4.0 to it. I have bookmarks in FF3.6 on an older computer using XP and have exported Firefox to a jump drive. I need step by step instructions on how to get my old FF profile info including bookmarks transfered to my new computer.By the way, I need the same instructions for transfering my Outlook email files and address book on the old computer to Thunderbird on the new one. Thanks

    You can export the bookmarks using Firefox 3.6 to a json file, then restore that file to Firefox 4 on the new computer. For details see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Backing+up+and+restoring+bookmarks

  • 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).
