I've tried every conceivable suggestion to import my bookmarks from IE 11. Nothing works! I need step by step help from someone at Mozilla in a chat call
I have the latest Fire Fox, unfortunately all my bookmarks are on IE 11, NO METHOD that you provide imports the bookmarks to Fire Fox. I need help. Just re-hashing the same info that you give as "technical" advice when it doesnt work either the import from another browser or import from HTML stuff doesnt work. You are giving incomplete directions.
Foxfire appears to import only the first ten of my IE favorite folders,''' in alphabetical order'''. I managed to import 15 additional folders as follows:
# In IE, create new folders named a, aa, aaa, etc. and copy all the other favorite folders into those folders. Or you may group your IE favorites in folders like, A-D, E-H, etc.
# In Firefox, click Show All Favorites, Import and Backup, Import Data from Another Browser, Select IE, Next, check only Favorites. This should import folders alphabetically.
# Then, you can organize your Firefox favorites by dragging subfolders out of a, aa, etc. and into the "Bookmarks Menu" folder, or leave them in folders like, A-D, E-H, etc. Delete extra copies.

Since installing Windows 7 professional via bootcamp onto my 2008 24" imac i have no sound. The sound worked when i had Windows xp installed. I have tried every solution suggested on various forums. Can you please help me?
After you install Apple driver to enable the audio chip, YOU then need to manually download and install (Cirrus or Realtek audio depending on the Mac).

Eddie,
There is a forum specifically for Boot Camp & MS Windows users. Because that is where the Boot Camp guru's hang out I'd recommend re-posting there. -

am trying to import Firefox bookmarks from a Windows machine into Firefox on an Apple. I do not want to use Safari. How do I do this?
I have, on my HP laptop, running XP Pro, using Firefox 4.0, went under bookmarks to show all bookmarks. A window opens up that says library. I then go to import and back up, and I choose export HTML. I then move this file over to my new Mac Pro. On my Mac Pro I also have Firefox 4.0. I go up under bookmarks, show all bookmarks, import HTML. It lets me browse and I find the file on the desktop, I select it then nothing happens. I am not interested in using Safari. I would like to continue using Firefox. However, as an experiment, I followed the same process except on my Apple computer I opened up Safari and tried to import in the Firefox bookmarks. It came up with an error saying the file could not be accessed. I then thought perhaps the file got corrupted, so I went back to my Windows Firefox and re-exported the bookmarks again. Same problem. So, am I creating the bookmarks incorrectly on my Windows machine?
Thanks,
KentProbably your Mac cannot understand the Windows html format, please try the following to see if it helps:
In your PC, export the bookmarks in html as you did in your post. After you have saved it, change the name of the file to “bookmarks.html” and save it again.
In your Mac, import the saved file as you posted. -
I'm on a Mac with 10.7.2 I'm trying to import my bookmarks from Safari to FireFox. When I open the "file" to click on import like the instructions say there is no "import" in file. So how do I import my Safari bookmarks to FireFox ?
I don't have that activated either.. :-s

I am trying to import my bookmarks from IE and have read the instructions, but the Import button under File is grayed out and will not let me import. Any ideas?
* Make sure that you not run Firefox in [[Private Browsing]] mode
* In Private Browsing mode some menu items are disabled (grayed) and features like visited links are disabled and not showing
* You are in Private Browsing mode if you see "Tools > Stop Private Browsing", possibly grayed
See [[Private Browsing]] -

Imported favorite bookmarks from IE and now all links are to BBC news
I downloaded and installed Firefox, imported favorites/bookmarks from IE running Windows 7, and now all the bookmarks that seemed to have been imported point to BBC news link.
Any suggestions?Open the Firefox SafeMode and select '''Delete all bookmarks except for backups''', then Continue in SafeMode. <br />
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode
Then close Firefox. Open IE and use '''File > Import/Export - Export to HTML file''' and save that file to the Desktop. Close IE.
Then open Firefox and open '''Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks -> Import & Backup - Import HTML... = From HTML file ''and select that file you saved on the Desktop'' '''.
Hopefully that method will work better. -
How do I save and import my bookmarks from another hard drive? When I try to open the installed Firefox on the old drive, it (obviously) opens a browser from the new main drive, free of bookmarks. Is there a way I can save the bookmarks on the old drive without opening a browser?
The guts of my computer were rearranged and I got a new main hard drive. My old one is still in there and I can get stuff from it, but when I go to the Mozilla folder on the old one, I can't figure out if there's anything I can do to get all my bookmarks from that drive to my new one, where Firefox is newly installed.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. -
