"Import" bookmarks (e.g. from Safari) disappeared for the latest version of Firefox. How do I do it?

I'm using 8.0.1 Firefox and OS 10.6.8 in my Mac Pro. I've been using Firefox's import function for years. I've tried reinstalling Firefox (& first dumping Firefox and its Application Support file). I'm also using Ghostery and Norton.

Thanks, but this apparently this only works with PCs.
I did figure out what to do however:
(1) Choose "Show All Bookmarks".
(2) Click on the strange, rightmost, star-shaped icon at the top left of the Library window.
(3) Select "Import Data from Another Browser"
Thanks again.

  • Firefox can't read any Bookmark that was imported from my PC with file extension .url. Safari reads them fine. Is there a fix, so I can use Firefox instead of Safari? Many thanks if so. I have the latest version of Firefox

    Hello JF.
    I don't think that extension is supported. I believe Firefox can only read .json and .html.

  • I have Firefox 8.0.1 on my Windows XP PC. On my Firefox opening page I still get a warning that I do not have the latest version of Firefox. Which is the latest version for me and from where do I download it?

    On the opening page of Firefox, I am constantly reminded (and sometimes warned) that I do not have the latest version of Firefox. Yet, when I click for upgrade, I start getting a download of the same version 8.0.1 which I am already running.

    This - http://www.google.com/firefox - is the old Firefox Start Page used by the Firefox 3.6 and earlier versions of Firefox, I don't think it is being maintained.
    Starting with the Firefox 4 version, Firefox is using a "local" Start Page with the address of '''about:home'''. It looks similar to the old Start Page, but it isn't exactly the same.

  • The other day I had downloaded the latest version of Firefox and now none of the icons for the different websites I normally go to are there?

    As I said, the other day I had downloaded the latest version of Firefox and after doing so none of the icons for the different websites that normally go to are no longer there. Websites such as MSNBC, MSN, Most visited, that entire strip is no longer visible. I tired resetting Firefox and still nothing. Can anyone tell me how to get them to appear again? It's a hassle every time that I want to go to one of those sites I have to type it in the search bar, instead of just clicking on it as I did before. Please keep in mind if you answer, that I'm still learning about these things called computers and not very well versed in some of the things that you experts know:) Thanks

    On Windows XP Firefox shows the menu bar by default and not the orange Firefox menu button that is shown when the menu bar is hidden.<br />
    The menu bar is the toolbar at the top that shows menu items like File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, Help.<br />
    You can press the F10 key or tap the Alt key to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily in case this bar is hidden (View > Toolbars or Firefox > Options).
    The Navigation Toolbar shows the Back and forward button and the input field where you type the address of a site that you want to visit (aka location bar) and also has a search bar where you can type items that you want to look up with a search engine (Google).

  • After updating to the latest version of Firefox on my Mac there is no progress bar for the page load. I really miss this feature and can't seem to find a way to obtain it.

    The page load progress bar that was on the lower right of the window is no longer there. After updating to the latest version of Firefox on my Mac there is no progress bar for the page load. I really miss this feature and can't seem to find a way to obtain it. The tab has a circular progress wheel but this is useless for determining a stuck or slow loading page.
    PLEASE NOTE: I am typing this in from a Windows based work computer but am asking about my Apple MacBook Pro that i use at home.

    Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session.<br />
    You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time.<br />
    There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default <b>about:home</b> Home page.<br />
    Another possibility is to use:

  • I just downloaded the latest version of firefox (5.0). Can I delete all the older versions that are still on my drive? 2) When I call up some web sites sometimes the web site comes up 3 or 4 times...how do I stop this from happening?

    I just downloaded the latest version of firefox (5.0). Can I delete all the older versions that are still on my drive?
    When I call up some web sites sometimes the web site comes up 3 or 4 times...how do I stop this from happening? For example if I click on a link the exact same link comes up 3 or 4 times and I have to manually delete all of them but one.

    Do you organise your email into separate folders, or do you just let it accumulate in the Inbox?
    I would strongly advise you not to let it sit in the Inbox.
    When you see this happening, try right-click on the affected folder, select '''Properties''' then '''Repair Folder'''.
    Large folders (actually, a folder in Thunderbird is stored as a file, so it is sensitive to file size limits set by the underlying file system) can be problematic. This is one reason not to let messages collect in one folder. I use Thunderbird's Archive folders so that accumulated mails over several years can happily coexist because they are effectively stored in many small folders. No single mail store folder then exceeds the 2GB or 4GB sizes that have been known to stress the OS. I appreciate that current builds of Thunderbird and a modern 64-bit OS should be able to cope, but practically I find it slows down when given huge files, so I err towards a pragmatic solution; a large number of not very big files.
    Archives are searchable, and a Saved Search folder can give you a virtual composite folder allowing access to the entire Archive.

  • I inadvertently deleted and emptied the trash bin on Firefox. I have a MAC OSX-VERSION 10.4.11. How can I re-install the latest version of Firefox that is COMPUTER FRIENDLY for the MAC OSX Version 10.4.11? I appreciate any help.

    I inadvertently deleted Firefox and emptied the trash bin. I believe it was version 3.5. I have a MAC OSX 10.4.11. After several futile attemps how can I re-install the latest version of Firefox compatible to my MAC system? Thanks!

    As of Firefox 4.0 and newer the Firefox builds from Mozilla requires both Mac OSX 10.'''5'''+ and a Intel.
    Either you can use 3.6.19 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    Though for you 3.6.18 will be safe also as 3.6.19 was to workaround a font crashing issue on 10.7 Lion that was not fixed in time on Lion before release. http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.6.18/mac/ and pick your language and download the Firefox 3.6.18.dmg

  • Can I upgrade directly from elements 3 to the latest version?

    Can I upgrade directly from Elements 3  to the latest version?

    Yes. But compare prices. Sometimes sites like Amazon have a lower price for the full product rather than the upgrade version. They are identical; so buy whichever is cheapest.

  • What is the latest version of Firefox for my laptop as of August, 2011?

    I'm running Windows 8 (xp) and thinking of switching to Firefox. I'd like to know what the latest version of Firefox is for my laptop?

    Do you mean IE8? Windows 8 has not been released.
    You can use the current version, Firefox 5.0.1. Look at the system requirements '''''carefully''''' to be sure you have what is necessary, especially '''Pentium 4 processor''' and enough '''RAM''' since many XP systems came with only 256MB. Right-click on the "My Computer" icon on your Desktop and choose Properties for basic information about your system in the "General" tab.

  • In the latest version of Firefox, I am not able to open a new tab neither by Ctrl+T nor from the File Tab nor by pressing the '+' sign next to the last tab

    In the latest version of Firefox, I am not able to open a new tab neither by Ctrl+T nor from the File Tab nor by pressing the '+' sign next to the last tab. So the only solution is opening "New window" which is extremely messy. Kindly help me with this issue.

    hello, can you try to replicate this behaviour when you launch firefox in safe mode once? if not, maybe an addon is interfering here...

  • What are the new features for the latest version ...

    what are the new features for the latest version of N6300? can you cite me the newest features?

    The latest update was just bug fixes and improved stability, no new features. That is nearly always the case with series 40 phones like the 6300.
    Nokia do not make the changelogs available publicly but often they do appear on unofficial sites. Searching google may provide you with more detailed info that cannot be posted here.
