Import json bookmark backup from pc to android mobile firefox

I have a backup of the bookmarks on my pc in the form of a .json file. This file is currently on my pc desktop. The pc is connected via usb to the android tablet which is running android 5.1.
I want to import the .json backup into the android firefox on the tablet. However all instructions for this refer to importing to and from pc versions of firefox where there it is possible to right click on the tab aea and select the menu bar. The menu bar gives access to the bookmark options.
As far as I can see the mobilesversion does not have this facility and I cannot therefore import the .json file.
I do not ant to use the 'sync' facility.

Silly me!
I had not made any bookmarks in Firefox before looking for them!
However, you say "FF does not support............" I accept what you say but I still wonder how FF does store them. It would make sense to keep with the PC .json format and although FF does not give support, could you in fact replace the file if it was .json?
I do this all the time for the FF PC version.
I will make some bookmarks and see. It would still mean rooting the tablet.

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

Please post just the relevant parts inside tags as mentioned, and choose a descriptive subject line.

Successfully imported json bookmarks file into FF19, and library view shows folders correctly, but Sidebar view shows no folders and so loses my organization.

Longtime FF user. Still on 3.6.28 mostly, due to my need for my large collection of hierarchically organized bookmarks. I have 2000+.
Trying FF 19 today.
Successfully imported the json file from other system.
Via the Bookmarks menu, Show All reaches Library view and everything is there. Except for the fact that this FF design will not let me see the contents of more than one folder at one time. Which is why I've stayed with 3.6.28.
Now, a friend has shown me that I can see multiple folders AND the contents of multiple folders using Sidebar Bookmarks, just as I wish. Great! But after importing my bookmarks, all I see is a random list of bookmarks in the Sidebar view. There are no folders or subfolders so with this view I lose all the organizational structure I see in the Library.
Am I missing something? Is there a way (an addon) that would put everything in the Library Right Pane? instead of just one folder? That would be fine.
OR
Is there a way to preserve the organization of my bookmarks after importing them, in the Sidebar view? That would also be fine.
Thanks for any helpful answers. Otherwise, back to 3.6.28 I go.

In the Library view, everything functions as Mozilla would have it. Yes, individual bookmarks are not to be seen, except in the right side pane. And only from one folder at a time. Returning to the beginning, that was my complaint with Show All Bookmarks and why I've stuck with 3.6.28 coupled with Old Manage Bookmarks.
And that's why I asked if anyone is aware of an addon to make the contents of more than one folder visible in the right hand pane of the Library view in FF 4 and up. I've even tried Mike S's "hack" of OMB to see if I could make "Organize Bookmarks" return on FF19. No luck.
So Library View works as it "should". But that's insufficient for my needs.
You've indicated that Sidebar view SHOULD function as I wish. But so far, barring a fix, I don't see folders, subfolders nor individual bookmarks ''in the order'' that they started in, from PC1. I don't know why that failed. I'm happy to keep trying things, til the moon turns green.
Proceeding along -- sort Library? Yes, sorting works. But since the Library is functioning, unsorted is my preference. To make the Library View FULLY ADEQUATE though, I'd want to see bookmarks in different folders viewable at one time. What I need is the Sidebar view with all the folders showing, replicating the Library's View hierarchical structure.
HTML export and import? I'm sure I can import one into FF19. But I don't know how to export them from PC1 as my bookmarks are in .json format. When I try to do that, the dialog window confines me to selecting an HTML file, and so I can't export the .json file I have. I'm sure there's an easy answer, but its not intuitive.
Thx

How do I import a bookmarks folder from another computer and add it to my existing list of bookmarks folders?

I have two computers. One contains a folder of bookmarks that I want to transfer to the other computer and add it in. I don't want to replace all my bookmarks on the second computer with those from the first computer. How do I do this?

Which kind of backup did you do? A backup from the Bookmarks Organizer or a backup using the program MozBackup?
If you used MozBackup, you need to install it on the new computer to decode the backup. http://mozbackup.jasnapaka.com/
If you used the Bookmarks Organizer, you might just need to add .json to the end of the file name.

Imported pics to IPHOTO from a friends android and only thumbnail size are there, is there a way to re-format the thumbnails to a regular picture

I recently imported photos from a friends android phone, Galaxy Note, for some reason other than four pictures, only thumbnails were imported. He deleted them after the import, and I can't format the pictures to a normal size and quality in IPhoto. If I just re-size the quality is awful, Any ideas that may help. I normally don't touch any pictures, it's my wife's thing, and now I'm in big trouble.
Thanks for the input, in may get me back in the house tonight!

No idea how an android works - or does not work - that is a question for Android support
as to making a low quality photo a high quality one - no - it is not possible

My bookmarks only show up on the mobile Firefox, but not in the desktop browser. How can I fix it?

This is how it all happened:
1. Bookmarks first disappeared on one of my desktop computers.
2. Bookmarks disappeared on another desktop computer. Additionally I was unable to bookmark any new page - after I press the star button it would be blank (not yellow).
3. I can see my bookmarks on my tablet with updated Firefox Beta. But I am worried they will disappear soon too.
4. When I checked the Sync Quota it shows that Bookmarks only use few kilobytes even thought I have hundreds if not thousands of bookmarks.
5. I have reinstalled the browser removing all personal data, but the only thing that changed is - I now can add bookmarks, although not through Right Click->Bookmark This Link.
I strongly believe this is a bug in the Sync system and am now considering switching to chrome

'''Did you backup whatever bookmarks you did have on the computer ? '''
Remember any restoring of bookmarks overwrites whatever he current set is, and you may not want to loose them.
Even if up until now you have not made any backups of Desktop bookmarks Firefox will have backed up some of them into sets of daily bookmark backups. Once you have backed up your current set you could look at what it has by restoring those bookmarks, you may find one of those sets is fairly complete.
By the way if you look at the profile files and folders that you should now have on the desktop you should see it contains a bookmarks backup folder, the size of the files within should indicate whether they contain anything.
You need to go into the bookmarks library and try the restore option. Backup each set that you look at if it has anything of use in it, before trying the next set. With look one of those will be a fairly complete set of bookmarks.
* USE '''Show All Bookmarks -> Import and Backup -> Restore '''
** see [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer#w_restoring-from-backups]]_restoring-from-backups
I do not use Firefox on mobiles, but before you try anything further you do need to backup the desktop bookmarks and learn what existing backups you have. Unless you master that you are in continual danger of overwriting and loosing bookmarks.
Presumably you have already found this listing of help articles for mobiles

How can I import all the backups from an old Time Capsule to a new one?

Hi,
My 2008 Time Capsule just crashed a week ago. Obviously it was out of warranty, and Apple just offered me a new 1TB TC for a reduced priced, and gave me the old internal disk in a plastic bag.
I want to import the information from the old TC to my new TC. Is this possible? How can I do this?
Thanks

Your Apple service centre is very good.. they mostly refuse to help in any way.
You need a USB to sata converter cable and power supply or a USB disk holder.. SATA type.. although that is pretty universal now.. they are only a few dollars from most large computer stores or ebay. Plug the usb drive into the computer and copy the contents over to the TC. using ethernet will help btw.. if you only have the air buy a USB to ethernet or Thunderbolt to ethernet (if you have the latest one).. they are available from apple at reasonable prices.
Then you can copy the sparsebundle across..

BUT I have to say I don't recommend it.. I think you are better starting with a new backup and keep the old disk as an archive..

Importing Time Machine backup from an external hard drive

Hi...to all
Last week i bought a Macbook. I pluged in my external hard drive Maxtor OneTOuch 4 Plus and it did a time machine backup on the Maxtor OneTOuch 4 Plus. The folder that was generated by the time machine on my external hard drive has the name backups.backupdb.
Then, i decided to return the Macbook and bought a Macbook Pro.
When I pluged the same external hard drive, Maxtor OneTOuch 4 Plus, although I am able to access and open individual files and folders, I am not able to copy neither any nor all the folders/files from my external hard drive to my new Macbook Pro. Moreover, I am able to access/open the files located in my external hard drive but when try to copy specific files from this drive to my Macbook Pro I get the following error message: Sorry the operation could not be completed because an unexpected error ocurred (Error code -50). Now, here is where it gets interesting: after 2 failed attempts to copy any single file from my external hard drive to my Macbook Pro desktop and receiving the above error message I am then able to copy the specific file (singular). This would mean that to copy the files and folders in the external hard drive i would need to do it on a one by one basis? If so, it would take forever...
Can someone please kindly help out.
Thanks on advance

Are you referring to the files in Time Machine's backup directory on your hard drive? If so, and if what you are trying to do is to recover those from the backup to your working volume on the Macbook Pro (which is not what your title says you want to do but seems to be implied by the body of the question) then you need to have the computer name of the Macbook Pro the same as the computer name of the original Macbook (I think that step is required), then on the Macbook Pro choose "Browse Other Time Machine Disks" from the Time Machine menu in Dock. This will allow you to recover files or folder in the usual way.
Alternatively, if you wanted to transfer all your user data in one go, you could fire up Migration Assistant and choose the Time Machine backup as the source to transfer the user data from (again I think the computer names have to be the same but I'm not totally sure).

Can I combine bookmarks etc from different computers when syncing Firefox or will the main computer erase the other devices' bookmarks, etc?

I have different bookmarks on the different computers that I want to sync. I want to have all the bookmarks on all the devices. Is this possible when I sync? Thank you.

Hi!
Yes, Firefox Sync merges and adds all the info in all the profiles. It doesn't delete the information on any of them. That way you will have the information from any of your devices in the rest of the devices.

Importing a bookmark file

I have a bookmark file from a previous version of firefox.
How can I import the data from that file ?

hello mam/sir read this link how to import bookmark file. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/import-bookmarks-html-file

I cannot get the restore function to use another bookmarks file - why? I am using Firefox v6.0.2 on HP laptop dv4t-1000 with Win 7 OS.

I copied a Firefox bookmarks file from my desktop to my laptop, so I could restore the bookmarks to Firefox on my laptop. But the restore function does not seem to work. Can someone please offer some help with this? Thanks!

Exactly what type of file did you copy?
'''Restore''' is for JSON bookmark backup files - it will replace your bookmarks. <br />
An HTML '''export''' needs to be '''import'''ed into Firefox - it will append the currently installed bookmarks.

Solved "Error message": Unable to process backup file .json of bookmarks saved from different computer

Want to move bookmarks from old laptop running Firefox 3.1.6 and Win XP to new laptop running Win 7 64-bit and FF 3.1.6 which I just installed. On new laptop I browsed from FF to Restore bookmarks from file I had saved from old laptop (edit to add: it is about 4500kb). The file (bookmarks-2010-10-15.json) is NOT write protected. FF reports "Unable to process backup file".
I have shut down FF and rebooting computer. I am able to restore a bookmark file that was created on new laptop but NOT the one saved from old laptop so I do NOT think the file that the knowledge base (http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_process_the_backup_file_-_Firefox) refers to as potentially problematic is the problem in my case. I do NOT want to proceed with the other suggestions (create new profile and etc.) for fear of creating even more problems.
Appreciate your advice - I have probably a 1000 or more bookmarks to move and so this is vital and probably typical of anyone with a new computer.

PROBLEM SOLVED I did backup from old laptop again both as .json file and as an export to html. This time the .json file worked to restore from it.
I had read on a different thread here about using the html version and was going to give that a try but also made the new .json at the same time to see if I could get that to work - which it did. I expect that either approach gives the same results and so if one approach is not working for you perhaps the other approach will take care of it.
