Restoring a JSON backup with 12000 bookmarks can be quite a challenge.
Maybe try this is a second profile and disable the timeout to see if it finishes.

If it works then you can copy the places.sqlite file to the current profile folder.

  • Need to import bookmarks from json

    Need to import my bookmarks from a different json file. When I try to import it says that it will overwright my current bookmarks. Don't want to do that, only add it it. Is that possible?

    Thanks! I may try and see if I can still access that old computer and do an export as html then. If not, I'll do your above description. Thanks!

  • Run time error when trying to import bookmarks from firefox

    When trying to import bookmarks from Firefox to Safari I get the following error message: "Run Time Error. This application has requested the Runtime  to terminate it in an unusual way." Safari does not function anymore and I have to close it. Can somebody help me? I am using a PC with Windows 7.

    In the Bookmarks Manager (Library) there is a toolbar with the Back and Forward button and three other buttons (Organize, Views, Import & Backup).
    * The first (gear) button is the Organize button with basic edit menu items for bookmarks
    * The second button is the Views button that allows to change the sort order for viewing purposes (doesn't sort permanently).
    * The third (star) button is the Import & Backup button that allows to backup and restore a JSON backup and import and export an HTML backup and import bookmarks from other browsers.
    Hover each button to see the tooltip or click each of them to see what they do.

  • Importing Bookmarks from an HTML Folder

    I had to have a new hard drive install. The tech created a file call old back up which have all of my bookmarks in a HTML folder call favorites. Is there any way to import the whole folder into firefox 4.0 I can go in and do them one at a time, but I would rather just do the folder because it is already organize with subfolders.

    The file that stores bookmarks may be locked or damaged which is preventing them from being deleted. Try deleting places.sqlite as shown on this site - http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locked_or_damaged_places.sqlite
    Firefox will try to import bookmarks from a backup when you restart Firefox. If you do not want that to happen, in the profile folder where you found places.sqlite, there will be a folder called bookmarkbackups containing a few files with extension .json, delete all of those files. Also delete or rename bookmarks.html in the profile folder to prevent Firefox trying to import bookmarks from that file.

  • 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.

  • How do I import bookmarks from a different PC installation?

    I recently changed from a desktop to a laptop for my primary system when the desktop power supply failed. I was able to recover all desktop files by moving the HDD to an external USB enclosure.
    Now I need to import the old extensive bookmark collection in Firefox 3.x to the laptop Firefox 3.x and combine it with the current bookmarks on the laptop.
    How do I do this without destroying the bookmarks already on the laptop?

    Before you do this, backup your laptops bookmarks as shown in the first part of the [[backing up and restoring bookmarks]] article. This step should not be necessary but I am just playing it safe so you can restore them if required.
    The process below will save a copy of your bookmarks from the laptop, next it will replace the bookmarks on the laptop with those that were on the desktop. Finally it will import the laptops bookmarks, adding them to those from the desktop.
    Export the bookmarks on the laptop again, this time to an HTML file, for details see [[exporting bookmarks to an HTML file]].
    The next step is to restore the bookmarks from the HDD for the desktop. Follow the instructions in the [[backing up and restoring bookmarks]] article for restoring bookmarks, using the "Choose File" option. Now browse to the old profile folder on the HDD. For details of finding this folder see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox]. Inside the profile folder there will be a folder called bookmarkbackups containing files with names in the format bookmarks-yyyy-mm-dd.json, select the one with the latest date. This will import those bookmarks, and in the process replace those that are on the laptop.
    The final stage is re-importing the bookmarks from the HTML file that you exported above, for details see [[importing Bookmarks from an HTML File]]. This will add the bookmarks to those that were originally on the desktop.
    If you are likely to have duplicate bookmarks, you can use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/10897/ CheckPlaces] add-on to remove them if you wish.

  • How do I Import Bookmarks from one profile to another ? I have tried searching online but I can find no "bookmarksbackups" folder and no "places.sqlite" Thanks

    Hi,
    I was wondering how to Import Bookmarks from an old firefox profile to a new one ? My laptop stopped working but I managed to copy my firefox data from the mozilla appdata folder. I want to now copy my old bookmarks to my new firefox profile on my new laptop. I have tried searching online for guidance but most methods mention a "bookmarksbackups" folder and a "places.sqlite" file. However, I can find no "bookmarksbackups" folder and no "places.sqlite" file. Among the files in profile I am trying to import FROM are a "bookmarks" html file(which seems to only contain the default firefox bookmarks) as well as "places.sqlite-shm" and "places.sqlite-wal" files. Although, the NEW profile on my new laptop I am trying to import TO DOES have a "bookmarksbackups" folder and a "places.sqlite" file.
    I would be most grateful for any help received. Many thanks in advance for your help and for your time

    f458italia,
    Per your screenshot - you don't have the /bookmarksbackup/ folder nor the places.sqlite file - your bookmarks don't exist in that old Profile. ''cor-el mentioned another file that is missing, so that Profile wouldn't have been operational.''
    Are you sure that you don't have another Profile for that user account?

    Home/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist is the file you want. Use a copy, just in case & do it with Safari quit.

  • I have imported bookmarks from Safari to Firefox but the bookmarks bar does not change in Firefox and match that of Safari. That's the part I need most. Any ideas why? Also, I don't see where to choose for Firefox to be my default browser.

    I use a Imac with OS 10.6.7. I've just uploaded Firefox 4. I had Firefox 3 already but do not use it often. I've been using Safari. I imported bookmarks from Safari to Firefox, but the bookmarks bar in Firefox did not change to match that of Safari, and that's where the important bookmarks are. Any ideas?
    Also, I can't find where to choose Firefox as my default browser.

    Copy the files from the old Profile into the new Profile, replacing the existing files that are in the new Profile. That will make your new installation just like the old one.
    Or if you just want your bookmarks, copy only the '''places.sqlite''' file from the old Profile into the new Profile.

  • I want to import bookmarks from Safari but there is no import choice in the file menu

    my firefox does not have the option to import my bookmarks, even though in Help it says it does. What do I do?

    Exporting bookmarks from Safari
    Go to File->Export Bookmarks. Safari saves your bookmarks in an HTML file. Save the HTML file to the Desktop or any other location of your choice.
    Importing bookmarks to Firefox
    Go to Bookmarks->Show all bookmarks. This will open up the Bookmarks Library.
    Click Import and Backup...
    Select Import Bookmarks from HTML.. from drop down menu.
    Locate your HTML file exported from Safari.
    You can use Safari Bookmark Exporter to export bookmarks to an HTML file,if exporting to the HTML file is not supported by Safari.

    I want to import bookmarks from Internet Explorer 8, but the import link under file in Firefox is ghosted out and doesn't allow me access. How can I access the Firefox import function?

    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • Will reinstalling safari let me import bookmarks from firefox?

    I have not been able to import bookmarks to Safari, so I'm considering reinstalling safari because it is supposed to ask if you want to import bookmarks from another browser the first time it is run. Is there any way to completely uninstall and reinstall safari so that it will think it is being run for the first time?
    I am running OSX 10.3.9 and Safari 1.2. Is this the correct version of Safari? If not, exactly where can I go to dowwnload the correct version?
    Thanks
    Mac OS X (10.3.9)

    Always glad when I can solve someone's problem
