Just installed 7 pro, how can I import my bookmarks which I saved on a different drive?

just installed windows 7 pro. I saved my bookmarks on a second drive but can not find how to import into my new copy of firefox. Why is this not an option when I go to import? Only option is IE.

It depends on the format you saved the bookmarks in.
If it was an HTML file see [[importing bookmarks from an HTML file]]
If you used the JSON format to backup the bookmarks see [[backing up and restoring bookmarks]]. (Use the Restore - Choose file option)
If you saved the places.sqlite file, you can place that file in your new [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox profile folder], replacing the file that is already there. This will replace the bookmarks and history with those from your previous version.

  • How can I import Firefox bookmarks, now stored in User folder on same (new) PC, into Firefox?

    How can I import Firefox bookmarks, now stored in User folder on same (new) PC, into Firefox? I have exported the Firefox bookmarks from my old PC into a [Windows 8] folder on my new PC.
    When I use the Firefox import facility, it will only import one bookmark at a time - and then it bookmarks all the main pages on the bookmarked website, not just the one which I originally bookmarked. It also does not import the information stored in the bookmark tag.

    Sure thing.
    # Open the run dialog by holding the Windows key and pressing R
    # Type <code>%appdata%</code> into the run window and press ok
    # Open the ''Mozilla'' folder
    # Open the ''Firefox'' folder
    # Open the ''Profiles'' folder
    # Copy the folder that is located in this folder to a USB drive
    # Install and run Firefox on the new computer
    # Close Firefox
    # Repeat steps 1 to 5 on the new computer
    # Open the folder that you copied from the old computer
    # Copy the contents of that folder into the folder located inside of the new computer's profile folder
    # Allow Windows to replace any duplicate folders with the ones that you are copying onto the computer is prompted

  • How can I import a movie into iMovie 09 from a hard drive?  The movie will open and play in idvd but breaks into separate files that can't be downloaded when I try to import.  Can it be done?

    How can I import a movie into iMovie 09 from a hard drive?  The movie will open and play in idvd but breaks into separate files that can't be downloaded when I try to import.  Can it be done? I am trying to create a disc of player highlights for a collegiate coach, and I am using movie files downloaded to my hard drive from a DVD created on a PC. 

    No unfortunately it won't open in quicktime either.  It does the same thing that Imovie does, separates it into two file folders audio and video, and if i select video it opens to reveal 8 files that cannot be selected.  VIDEO_TS.BUP, VIDEO_TS.IFO, VIDEO_TS.VOB,VTS_01_0.BUP, VTS_01_0.IFO, VTS_01_1.VOB, VTS_01_2.VB, VTS_01_3.VOB.  All of which cannot be opened or selected.
    Opening it in Idvd and folllowing your suggestion works and I get a format code of NTSC.  Is that the same?  Thank you for your time and response.

  • How can I import my bookmarks and RSS feeds from Flock?

    I just switched over from Flock because it's too sluggish to use anymore. How do I import all my bookmarks, passwords, and RSS feeds? If I have to do it all by hand, I'm going to cry.
    Also do I need a separate RSS reader to get my feeds in a nice list like Flock does it? I don't really get how Live Bookmarks are supposed to work.
    Thanks. I used Firefox before moving to Flock, so hopefully switching back won't be too painful.

    Hm. This was somewhat helpful. I got my bookmarks moved (although now that I see how many of them I had backed up, I'm not sure that was a good idea).
    Still trying to figure out the passwords... I have my Flock profile folder and my Firefox profile folders open... it looks like I need to copy the key3.db file and the signons.sqlite file from the Flock folder to the Firefox folder, does that sound correct?
    As for the RSS feeds, it looks like I'll need an external reader to make any use of the .OPML file that Flock exported for me. I'm still not really clear on how Live Bookmarks work, exactly. I see how to create and manage them, I just don't get how they function day to day. I have a ridiculous number of RSS feeds, some of which still have half a hundred posts I'm working my way through.
    Any recommendations for a good Firefox compatible feed reader?
    Thanks!

  • Docs&settings only shows bookmarks from Int Explorer used previously, not Moxilla. How can I save the bookmarks which are shown correctly when using MF?

    I want to save my bookmarks as I have done periodically since 2000 using Xp.
    For copying to F drive or USB, procedure is open C drive, Documents and settings, my name, Favorites
    I have hundreds of sorted bookmarks which I update fairly often.
    Changed to MF about five years ago.
    It looks like nothing has been added to the Favorites within Documents and Settings since then - all have the blue Int. Explorer logo, none in Moxilla colours.
    I was unaware of this as all bookmarks are shown correctly to left of desktop.

    There are three basic options
    #You can backup the bookmarks in a form that Firefox can use. And these include any tags with them.<br />See [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]]
    #Firefox stores History in the same database: '''places.sqlite'' the whole of that or even the whole of the profile may be backed up if necessary. <br /> See [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
    #You may back them up by '''export / import''' as HTML. These are the same sort of files as is used for IE favourites / favorites. (These will append or tack on to existing bookmark collections) <br />See [[Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file to back up or transfer bookmarks]]
    CARE if you restore bookmarks from a backup it overwrites your existing bookmarks so always back them up manually before doing any restore.
    Firefox creates its own library of bookmarks. It is possible to add HTML files from IE to these. You will not be able to make sense of Firefox's .json or .sqlite files other than by allowing them to be used within Firefox. The HTML files may probably be opened directly by Firefox or some other programs such as Word Processors.

  • I have a mac pro how can i import/transfer my favorites from safari and google chrome to firefox ?

    i have a MacBook Pro I usually use safari as my browser, i have downloaded firefox as well as google chrome. i would like to have my favorites i use for safari also for firefox, how do i do this ? i see they have step by step instructions but only for window users.thank you

    Simple, call the 800 number Apple Store and they will provide link to download.
    For some reason seems they think someone might mistake or be confused and... buy wrong OS (when they wanted Mountain Lion).
    Be sure before running the install, to save the package file to USB flash + DVD and someplace safe so you don't have to redownload and so you can do clean install later if you need to (you can always install to a new alternate drive but most don't realize).
    Also makes for a nice way to clean out, start fresh whatever your system has accumulated.
    Lion lacks PowerPC code support via Rosetta so keeping a dual boot system of both at least for couple months is good idea too -
    Setup Assistant will still import from your old system so it isn't like there is a lot of extra work with a clean install either.

  • I cannot start my old Dell PC, so I set up an old backup PC and installed Firefox. How can I import the bookmarks on the disabled computer to my new computer?

    My old computer was a Dell Dimension desktop running Win XP Pro. The current one is a ProTec (from MicroCenter retail store) running Win XP Home.

  • I was using Delicious to keep my bookmarks accross different computers. Delicious doesn't seem to be accessible from Firefox 4. How can I import my bookmarks into Firefox bookmarks? Or do you have another solution to access them?

    how do i access my delicious bookmarks with Firefox 4.0?

    To revert to the previous secure version which is 3.6.19, please do the following:<br><br>
    #Go to [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html Download Firefox v3.6.19] and download it to the desktop.<br><br>
    #Then go to Add/Remove Programs, scroll down to "Mozilla Firefox" and remove it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc., (''don't checkmark the box'').<br><br>
    #Then reboot and delete the folder called "Mozilla Firefox" at this location: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox<br><br>
    #Finally run the installation file you downloaded to the desktop earlier.<br>
    Your bookmarks, customizations etc., are maintained in a different location and will become available to you again once you complete the installation.<br><br>
    Having said that, it's always wise to have a backup handy just in case. So please do the following.<br><br>
    #Click the orange Firefox button and choose "''Bookmarks''", then "''Show All bookmarks''" to open the Bookmarks Manager.<br><br>
    #Click the link to ''Import and Backup'' at the top.<br><br>
    #Click "'''Export HTML'''" and save the file somewhere.<br><br>
    After you complete the installation, please go to the [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ Plugins Check] page and update where necessary.

  • How can I import my library that is saved on a  external hard drive but it's not saved on the iTunes media folder?

    I need to restore my computer to it's factory settings but I don't want to loose my playlists and my library (windows). I can copy any file from the computer because it's in good working order. All my music it's on a external hard drive, but there's lots of media files that I don't want to sync but need to keep! Any way to do that!?
    Best Regards

    I think that I didn't explain my self correctly, My iTunes media it's not consolidated. May I consolidate the media on a external drive (X:\). ?
    Yes. But consolidate to X:\iTunes\iTunes Media.
    The why I'm asking is because the music library (176gb) is way more than the computer drive (C:\). Remember that all the media is on a external hard drive (J:\)
    The steps I gave earlier will work to copy the whole library onto the new drive, in the correct layout for future ease of use.

  • How can I import safari bookmarks from my iPad or iPhone?

    I recently opened a MobileMe account and set my account to sync with my Safari on my iMac. While I was in Safari, MobileMe synced, I mistakenly allowed it to sync from MobileMe to Safari, not the other way around. So I have lost all my bookmarks. They still exist in my iPhone and iPad, but I want them to go back into my computer. I have tried syncing the devices to my iMac, but to no avail. Anyone have any suggestions? Have I missed something?

    HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
    Open System Preferences/MobileMe: Select the Sync tab. Then click the Advanced tab. Select your Mac and click: *Reset Sync Data*
    If that doesn't sync your Safari bookmarks back to your iPhone or iPad, try MobileMe: Troubleshooting iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch sync issues first.
    You can also post in the iPhone Forum to get help there.
    Do you by chance use Firefox? You could export your Bookmarks there to Safari and it would be a much simpler process ??
