Import data from another browser - Only few IE9 favorites get transfered to bookmarks. HTML solution - HTML file all favorites correct, but same result

Win7 / IE9: First time use. Example: One favorites folder has 4 HTML entries - only 2 get transferred. Some have none transfered - folder empty. Others have random correct + some missing.

Monday Nght
I can see complete IE9 Favorites HTML list in HTML file on Desktop with Firefox -> New Tab -> Open File.-> Open
In desktop HTML file, there are 37 IE9 folders with no more than nesting 3 deep in any one top folder. These are all correct wrt IE9 favorites.
All top folders + deepest nests are copied to FF ok. Contents random. Copied contents work ok
7 HTML web sites not allocated to IE9 top folders are also copied <- these 7 copy to FF and work ok
Example: First folder in IE9 list has no nesting., IE9 has 4 entries - Firefox has only 2. when either method of copying is used.
BTW - please advise how I can delete whole Bookmark list in Firefox in one keystroke to be able to retry with a clean Bookmark list
I am going to uninstall Firefox and start again with a clean copy and use HTML method only to try to transfer IE( files. I will report result.
BTW, I am in UK on UK time - hence delays in replying - need to sleep sometimes!!!!!
Tuesday Evening
Hi
I uninstalled Firefox. Re installed and loaded IE9 favorites from HTML file.
All seem copied correctly
First time I started by using the "import data from another browser". Partial copied.
Then I tried "Import from HTML file" without deleting whatever favorites had been copied. Still partial copied.
All seems well.

  • Chrome missing in Import data from another browser

    I use both chrome and firefox portable from site portableapps because mozilla doesn´t have a portable version.
    My dilemma today is this:
    I always had on firefox on menu "import and backup" > > "import data from another browser" listing chrome like this
    https://support.mozilla.org/media/uploads/gallery/images/2012-02-24-10-35-53-97ff60.png
    today i want to import chrome bookmarks to firefox but chrome is missing on the list, in the past i always had it there listed now is just pointing to IE
    Do i need chrome installed on machine to grab something from registry?
    By what i can remember always had that option on portable versions, i am importating this with a fresh pc machine because i installed now windows where i previously wiped the disk from manufacturer erasing tool.
    i digged the net and on questions here but cant find why its missing, can you guys tell me why?
    P.S- i would like to say that this site, Mozilla and Mozilla support, forums and community are the best service i´ve seen in years over the whole web i believe its really the best one and am not writing this because of this question, only thing missing is having Mozilla apps portable, a online chat would be cool too for the community
    Oh god i hope today the "fox" saves me cause i can´t find solution on this
    You guys take it easy.....

    Do you mean the portable version of Google Chrome as well?
    *http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/google_chrome_portable
    Which that version you probably need to export the bookmarks to an HTML file and import that file in Firefox.
    You can open the Bookmarks Manager in Google Chrome (wrench icon > Bookmarks > Bookmarks Manager) and select "Tools > Export Bookmarks"<br />
    This will export the Chrome bookmarks to a file bookmarks.html.<br />
    You can import that file in Firefox: Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import HTML : "From File"

  • I would like to import my bookmarks from IE but the 'Import Data from Another Browser' is greyed out and not an available choice.

    By following the directions on Firefox to open up the Library tool - import & backup - The drop down choice to 'Import Data from another Browser' this choice is greyed out and unavailable. I do not know how to proceed in order to import my favorites from IE.

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Private+Browsing
    To see all History and Cookie settings, choose:
    *Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting <b>Firefox will: Use custom settings for history</b>
    *Deselect: [ ] "Always use private browsing mode"

  • Why the "Import Data from Another Browser" option cannot be chosen

    I click on History on the menu, then, Show All History option, a new window appears called Library.
    I click on the button: 'Import and Backups', a drop down menu appears with the option 'Import Data from Another Browser'; however, this option in my browser is light gray, i.e. I cannot choose it. Why?

    Are you in the Private Browsing mode when you try that Import menu item?

  • Import data from another browser 'greyed out' cannot import favourites from IE

    Running Windows 7.
    Firefox version 7.0.1
    IE Version 8 (64 bit version)
    Firefox recently re-installed.

    Yes I was in Private Browsing mode as had set Firefox to not remember any history.
    Set to remember history then option returned. Imported Favourites and then restored Private Browsing.
    Thanks.
    BTW Importing from IE only brings across Folders/ Favourites not in Folders had to placed in a Folder to be picked up..............

  • My hard drive failed. I was able to restore my files from an external hard drive. I have my bookmarks saved but am not able to import them into Firefox as the only option is to import them from another browser. Any suggestions?

    -My hard drive failed.
    -I was able to restore my files from an external hard drive.
    -My bookmarks are saved to a folder on my new hard drive.
    -I am not able to import them from this folder on my hard drive into Firefox.
    - the only option Firefox offers for importing bookmarks is to import them from another browser...is there another way?

    In Firefox the bookmarks are saved in a database file called places.sqlite in the profile folder. If you have got this file from the external hard drive you can restore the bookmarks by copying this file to your current profile folder. For details of the location of the profile folder see either https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles or http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox

  • Import data from a partitioned table

    I am trying to import data from another server database. I need only data from two partitions from a partitioned table in that database. I have to use IMPORT wizard.
    The new server should also have the partitioned table with those two partitions data.

    I created the database on the destination server with a primary, log, FG1 and FG2 filegroups.
    Next, created the partition function and scheme
    create partition function pfOrders(int)
    as range right
    for values(34);
    create partition scheme psOrders
    as partition pfOrders
    to (FG1,FG2)
    go
    Next, created the table on primary with primary key.
    Next, used import wizard twice to import data related to partition_id 34 and 65.
    The problem is the data is on primary filegroup. FG1 and FG2 does not have any data.

  • Import data from few tables and export into the same tables on different db

    I want to import data from few tables and export into the same tables on different database. But on the target database, additional columns have been added
    to the same tables. how can i do the import?
    Its urgent can anyone please help me do this?
    Thanks.

    Hello Junior DBA,
    maybe try it with the "copy command".
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14117_01/server.101/b12170/apb.htm
    Have a look at the section "Understanding COPY Command Syntax".
    Here is an example of a COPY command that copies only two columns from the source table, and copies only those rows in which the value of DEPARTMENT_ID is 30:Regards

  • After "upgrade" to new firefox, bookmarks didn't transfer. Help tells how to import from another browser but not old firefox. Also my anti virus (latest update) apparently not compatible with 4.0 Can I restore my old version

    Question
    After "upgrading" to new firefox none of my bookmarks are in new bookmarks help topics tell me how to import from another browser but not from previous version of firefox. Another problem is my anti virus ( most up to date) is apparently not compatible with 4.0 liked the old firefox would never have "upgraded" had I known my anti virus wouldn't work. Can I get old version back

    Check with Kaspersky as to what versions of Firefox their programs are compatible with. It is up to Kaspersky to keep their stuff up to date as Mozilla releases new versions of Firefox. And if they are unwilling or incapable of doing it, they should inform their customers of such and maybe refund their customers instead of stringing them along.

  • When I try to import pictures from another catalog, I cannot access my RAW pictures.  I can only seem them as non supported what do I do to import?

    When I try to import pictures from another catalog, I cannot access my RAW pictures.  I can only seem them as non supported what do I do to import?

    Sorry for the long delay.  I have Windows 8.1  and using Lightroom 5.7  I have organized my unedited RAW format photos in files on my hard drive in folders in My documents/pictures.  Once I edit them I move them to another folders on a separate drive and discard the rejects.
    When trying to access my documents by selecting .File - Import from another catalog- my documents/ pictures; I see the folders, however when I select it, it says No items to match your search  When using the drop down menu on the lower right I can only see the images if I click on "all files" and when I click on the image I want to import,  it says "Lightroom cannot import this catalog; "The catalog does not appear to be a valid Lightroom catalog"
    All of this happend when I loaded a Cannon Pro 100 printer plug-in.  I tried to disable the plugin, but It is still happining and cannot access the images.

  • Importing calendar data from another [dead] computer

    My G5 recently died on me, and I'm currently using an older computer (eMac) that's still running 10.4. But I still have access to my G5's hard drive through a FireWire connection. What I'm trying to find a way to do is to reload all my G5 iCal data into my eMac's iCal app. Obviously, I didn't know my computer was going to die on me, so I didn't export an iCal file beforehand. So, assuming all my old calendar data is still on my G5 hard drive, what files will I need to copy over to my eMac? And will there be any complications bringing iCal info from 10.5 over to 10.4?
    Thanks a lot for any help.

  • I need to import data from a CSV file to an Oracle table

    I need to import data from a CSV file to an Oracle table. I'd prefer to use either SQL Developer or SQL Plus code.
    As an example, my target database is HH910TS2, server is ADDb0001, my dB login is em/em, the Oracle table is AE1 and the CSV file is AECSV.
    Any ideas / help ?

    And just for clarity, it's good to get your head around some basic concepts...

It does not have any code of it's own (although it may have some "commands" that are SQL Developer specific)
    SQL*Plus is another front end (character based rather than GUI) that submits code to the database and displays the results. It also does not have code of it's own although there are SQL*Plus commands for use only in the SQL*Plus environment.
    The "code" that you are referring to is either SQL or PL/SQL, so you shouldn't limit yourself to thinking it has to be for SQL Developer or SQL*Plus. There are many front end tools that can all deal with the same SQL and/or PL/SQL code. Focus on the SQL and/or PL/SQL side of your coding and don't concern yourself with limitations of what tool you are using. We often see people on here who don't recognise these differences and then ask why their code isn't working when they've put SQL*Plus commands inside their PL/SQL code. ;)

    Did you do a malware check?
    Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs.
    You need to use all programs because each detects different malware.
    Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database.
