HTML Bookmarks B/U is HUGELY long

Html Backup has a huge long file which appears to be earlier versions of my BM folders. how do i know which is the current one? and how do i delete the older ones?

If you have a recent bookmark.html file, you might have created it manually or maybe you have an extension that created it.
For quite a while now, Firefox has made its bookmark backups in JSON format. While there's no harm in making extra backups, if you only intend to restore them in Firefox, you probably won't need the HTML format. It's less complete than the JSON format (e.g., no tags).
If you want to back up bookmarks off disk, try copying the places.sqlite database file (contains bookmarks and history) or the bookmarkbackups folder (contains dated daily JSON backups).

  • Recently reformatted PC. Tried to import HTML bookmarks, but nothing happens. Tried other browsers, still does not work. How can I fix this?

    Before reformatting my PC, I exported all my bookmarks via HTML file. I reformatted, installed Firefox, then tried to proceed with importing all my bookmarks. I go to the import function and choose the HTML bookmarks file and nothing happens at all. I tried using other browsers to import, but nothing happens. I am not sure how to fix this.
    I thought maybe I could transfer the HTML file into a JSON file, but I couldn't find a way to do so, even after renaming the file extensions. Could the HTML file be possibly be corrupted? I'm out of ideas on how to import my bookmarks!
    I really need to fix this, please help!

    Make sure that the backup file with the bookmarks has the correct file extension:
    * .html for a HTML backup
    * .json for a JSON backup
    You can check the type via the right-click context menu of that file and open the Properties.<br />
    If you are not sure about the file type then you can open the file in Firefox via "File > Open File"<br />
    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: <b><nowiki>{"title":"","id":1,"dateAdded":</nowiki></b><br />
    An HTML backup starts with: <b><nowiki><!DOCTYPE NETSCAPE-Bookmark-file-1></nowiki></b>
    Add quotes ("") around the name to rename the file to the correct file extension if the current file extension is hidden or if it is otherwise not working.<br />
    Verify the file type in the Properties via the right-click context menu to make sure that the change has been successful.

  • Firefox 4.0 no "manage bookmarks" no import html bookmarks?

    When I go to your help files the answers are for versions prior to 4.0 In 4.0 there is no "manage bookmarks" selection on the menu. I want to import .html bookmark lists and .nab but all that comes up is IE.

    Not sure why, but the manager/organizer was renamed to "Show All Bookmarks".

  • Will Acrobat Reader recognize an HTML bookmark as a named destination?

    I have a Word file with bookmarks. I make a PDF from this file. How do I code an HTML link in a different file that will open the PDF at the location of a bookmark.
    I asked a similar but maybe less precise question yesterday. The response I received had links to articles that described how to use a named destination. One article said a plugin was needed. The article was for Acrobat 7. I cannot assume readers will have the plugin. An article also described some steps to go through probably with Acrobat to identify the named destinations. This set of steps is not a direction I want to go either. I don't want to identify bookmarks everytime I reprint the file. Maybe the question I am asking is "will Acrobat Reader recognize an HTML bookmark as a named destination?"
    The response I received yesterday included the following:
    You can possibly use "Named destination" instead of bookmarks.
    To create them: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/X/pro/using/WS58a04a822e3e50102bd6 15109794195ff-7ca7.w.html
    To link to them: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/link-html-pdf-page-acrobat.html
    In my HTML file is the following:
    <a href="LinkTestDestinationFile.pdf#nameddest=RevisionHistory">Revision History</a>
    RevisionHistory is a bookmark I made in my Word file. The bookmark marks the section Revision History. The link above does not open LinkTestDestinationFile.pdf at the Revision History section. I do not have the plugin suggested in one of the articles mentioned above.

    With Adobe Acrobat you can create named destinations.
    Bookmarks and named destinations are not the same.

  • Difference(s) in usage of a ".json" bookmark backup file and a ".html" bookmark file

    Hello to all,
    What is the difference between usage of a ".json" bookmark backup file and a ".html" bookmark file? It seems both of them are doing the same job. If it is the case, then why there are two options (.json and .html) for doing the same job? If not, then what is the reason behind availability of the two options and how do they differ? Although I've read all the related documentaion, it's not quite clear form me yet. Please be kind enough to elaborate on the question so that I can get a clear understanding of their right usage(s).
    Thank you very much in advance for your time and expertise

  • Permanent html bookmarks and/or pdf nameddests

    Question on FrameMaker
    We have version 7.2
    If I export as html I get numerous autogenerated bookmarks in the form of #WP123456
    If I export as pdf and have the "Create Named Destinations for all paragraphs" set I get numerours Named Destinations in the form of G123456
    As it stands now these autogenerated bookmarks may change evertime I update my document.
    I want to reference a specified section in my document from a web page that is not created by FrameMaker.
    I want to be able to put named bookmarks or namedests inside my document that have permenant names so I don't have to modify the referencing web pages everytime I change my manual.
    Is this possible?
    I want to be able to reference positions in my manual using URI such as these below from a web page not created by FrameMaker.
    pdf nameddest method:  http://MySite/help/operation.pdf#nameddest=WhatToDo
    or
    html bookmark method:  http://MySite/help/operation54.html#WhatToDo

    Almost,
    It does create a nameddest but it does not give it the name specified.
    Using your suggestion I found a way to create a named destination and I called it Testlink
    When I tried accessing it by that given name it did not work. http://MySite/help/operation.pdf#nameddest=Testlink
    When I viewed the doucment in Acrobat and asked it to show me Destination Navigation panel
    I finally found my link but FrameMake renamed it to M8.newlink.Testlink.
    I tested that with internet explorer and it worked http://MySite/help/operation.pdf#nameddest=M8.newlink.Testlink
    Which I could live with if I can be guaranteed that the M8 will never change.
    Does anyone know what the M8 represents? Is it stable or will it change over time as the document gets edited?

  • Ff24, windows 8: displaying bookmarks in a sidebar no longer resizes the web pages to the remaining viewable area. ff24 does do it on my other windows 7 pc's

    ff24, windows 8: displaying bookmarks in a sidebar no longer resizes the web pages to the remaining viewable area. ff24 does do it on my other windows 7 pc's

    Are you sure that you are opening the Bookmarks sidebar and aren't using the Bookmarks Menu button that show the bookmarks in a drop-down list?
    Firefox has two bookmark buttons with a star in the Customize window.<br />
    One star button has a drop-marker that open the Bookmark menu and may appear on the Navigation Toolbar or on the Bookmarks Toolbar if the menu bar is hidden.<br />
    The other star button without the drop-marker opens the bookmarks in the sidebar (View > Sidebar > Bookmarks).
    You can drag the Bookmarks menu button with the drop-marker in the Customize window from the toolbar palette on a toolbar (e.g. Navigation Toolbar or Tab Bar or to the left side of the Bookmarks Menu Items).<br />
    If you do not see the drop-marker then try them both to see which works.

  • Firefox 4 has no "Organize Bookmarks" option to import Chrome html bookmarks. How?

    Can't import Chrome html bookmarks because the
    "bookmark menu at the top" has no "Organize Bookmarks"
    option. How can I import the Chrome bookmarks?

    the-edmeister: How on earth can "Organize Bookmarks" be misleading! When that is the main reason any one clicked on that button? If I wanted to "organize" my bookmarks, I chose "Organize Bookmarks" went in there and organized them and then closed the window. How can "Show All Bookmarks be more correct?
    If you think "Show all Bookmarks" is more correct, then what is the purpose of showing all the bookmarks, what do you do once you can see them? Scroll through and check out what bookmarks you have? The main reason to go in there is to organize your bookmarks! That's why once you are in there you have the menu buttons like "organize", "Import and Export" "sort" etc.
    "Show All Bookmarks" is just simply dumb. Why don't they change "Options" to "Show lots of stuff", that would be just as meaningless and unhelpful.

  • There is no "Organize Bookmarks" on my Bookmark tab and I don't know how to import html bookmarks from old computer, which is now dead, per the instructions.

    I saved my old bookmarks as part of my regular backup from my old computer. It died this week and I just bought a new computer. The instructions for importing an html file with bookmarks says to open the Organized Bookmarks tab under Bookmarks. My computer does not have this bookmark and I can't find anywhere else how to import the html file with my old bookmarks. The old computer used Windows XP and this one has Windows 7.

    "Organize Bookmarks" has been renamed to "Show All Bookmarks" in the bookmarks menu. The rest of the instructions will be the same.

  • I can not save a bookmark to a subfolder any longer. when I select "Bookmark this page" the subwindow for where to save the link does not open. It just saves all bookmarks to the end of the bookmark listing.

    I am running 3.6.13

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Firefox not importing my html bookmark backup

    I just built a new computer. My old bookmarks from Firefox were saved as a html titled "bookmarks". I have firefox running now (all drivers up to date, etc), but I can't import my bookmarks. They show up on my computer as a firefox file, I just can't get FF to import them. I'm running Windows 7, if that makes any difference.

    Make sure that the file has .html file extension (bookmarks.html).

  • Bookmark Properties box is too long. How to fix?

    The screenshot speaks for itself.
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/mpwgwus8bkpdnt9/Untitled.png
    When I try to view the Properties of any of my Bookmarks, the box is far too wide. This is extremely irritating as I have to drag it over to the left in order to exit, save or cancel. This problem suddenly occurred several days ago for no rhyme or reason. Any solutions?

    Oh no, that's quite fine. I actually found a way to get over that. Right clicking and press "Size" then resizing using the arrow keys on the keyboard did the trick.
    Which leads me to wonder if this option was open during the Bookmarks-Properties-Too-Long period, because it would've saved a lot of trouble.

  • I Can't import HTML Bookmarks in 4.0b9

    No library in Firefox Bookmarks. Running OSX 10.6.6 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

    I'm not sure about MacOSX, but on Windows and Linux, the menu item named ''' ''Organize Bookmarks'' ''' was changed to '''Show All Bookmarks''' to open the ''' "Library" ''' window. The keyboard command of {Ctrl/Cmd + Shft + B} still opens the "Library" window.

    Open the iCloud Panel on your PC. Deselect the box next to Booksmarks then reselect it.
    On your iOS devices, tap Settings > iCloud
    Switch Safari off then back on.
    Give iCloud a few minutes to re sync the data.
