Making changes to bookmarks on safari

When i make changes to order or add new/delete a bookmark or create a new bookmark folder, the changes are not saved when i close the safari down. When safari is re-launched, any of the above changes i made are gone, and settings are re-set. I have many folders i need to sort different research into, so really need these to be saved.
Please can anyone clever help ? thank you so much.

Hi,
From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Extensions tab. If you have any installed, turn that off, restart Safari.
If it's not Extensions, then go to your Safari menu bar click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 7 boxes, then click Reset.

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.

Change Delicious bookmark layout in Safari?

Hi,
I downloaded my Firefox bookmarks and imported into Safari and I don't like the way I chose to upload them (they are in category mode). See here:
Can I change this layout within Safari or do I have to do this all over again from del.ici.ous?
S.

An alternative to this is to use a plug-in like DeliciousSafari that you can get at http://delicioussafari.com.

In updated Yosemite Safari how can I change the Bookmarks edit view to a full list not icons

On iMac with updated Yosemite I'm unable to locate how to change the "bookmarks" view to a list with Http addresses displayed instead of icons. Any ideas?

Try "Edit BookMarks".
Click Bookmarks in the Safari menubar. Select "Edit Bookmarks"
Click the triangle beside the folder to open the folder.

Can I copy my bookmarks from Safari to Firefox if they are on the same computer?

I would like to use Firefox and I want to '''copy''' the bookmarks I have in Safari. I have a Mac with OS10.6 and both Safari and Firefox are on the same computer. I want to know if Firefox is more friendly since I do a lot of writing.

You should update to Firefox 6.0.1 through Help > About > Check for updates
before testing rather than be disappointed with a Firefox update after testing.
All browsers can use the Netscape bookmarks formatted HTML file to copy bookmarks. But according to documentation you can import directly from Safari. Hopefully that applies to your Mac, because it is not shown as an option for me on Windows 7.
'''Import bookmarks''' - MozillaZine Knowledge Base
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Import_bookmarks#From_Safari
"'''Firefox imports Safari settings automatically'''. Just go to File > Import... and select Safari. In the next window, check the boxes of what you want to import. For example, your Safari Bookmarks will appear in Firefox's Bookmarks menu as "From Safari." Whatever other bookmarks you had on your Safari Bookmarks Bar will automatically appear on your Firefox Bookmarks Bar, too. "
If that does not work:
:'''Exporting Bookmarks from Safari:''' (from Safari Help)
# Choose File > Export Bookmarks.
# Specify a location for the exported file. The file's name will be "Safari bookmarks.html." Most browsers are able to import this type of file.
'''Importing Bookmarks into Firefox:'''
#"Command+Shift+B" to bring up Bookmarks Library List, can be done from Bookmarks menu > "Show all bookmarks"
# "Import and Backup" menu > Import HTML > From an HTML file
#: (unless you see From Safari)
Firefox uses the same keyboard shortcut to display menus as used on Safari (on a PC it is the "Alt" key).
Firefox is highly customizable, so you can change the appearance, and a lot of what would be done in other browsers must be done using extensions in Firefox, but the extensions for the "same" feature probably give you a lot more functionality and control. In the following making Firefox look more like 3.6 would be of interest if you are used to other older browsers -- Safari grew up independently so other browsers are more alike.
You can make '''Firefox 6.0.1''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)]. ''Whether or not you make changes, you should be aware of what has changed and what you have to do to use changed or missing features.''
* http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface
There is a lot more beyond those first 10 steps listed, if you want to make Firefox more functional. (later on)
'''Keyboard Shortcuts:'''
* Firefox Support Home Page | Firefox Help<br>Adapts to your system, but a very limited number of shortcuts are shown<br>https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Keyboard%20shortcuts

Updating bookmarks in Safari

I edit my bookmarks in Safari 7.1.2, but once I quit Safari, and restart, the old list returns. I checked Bookmarks.plist and it is a version from 2013. Using iMac and OSX 10.9.5. How do i fix this?

Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Show Info in Finder (or just Show Info)
from the contextual menu.* An Info dialog should open.
☞ Does the dialog show "You can read and write" in the Sharing & Permissions section?
☞ In the General section, is the box labeled Locked checked?
☞ What is the Modified date?
If you don't have read and write access to the item, change the settings as directed here. Note, however, that if one file has wrong access settings, most likely others do as well. If the item is locked, unlock it.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Open a TextEdit window and paste into it (command-V). Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.

I need to export my bookmarks to Safari. I can't find the "Organize bookmarks" tab that has the export feature. Help?

I was trying to export my bookmarks to Safari and the instructions were to: Go to Bookmarks - select "Organize bookmarks" and "export to HTML". I can't find the "Organize bookmarks" tab on my tabs bar.
This came about because Firefox would not let me access my On Star account (kept getting error messages about a mis-direct).

Menu changes (wording), "Organize Bookmarks" under the Bookmarks menu has been changed to "Show All Bookmarks -- Ctrl+Shift+B" with the same keyboard shortcut. They didn't like the new wording either and it is expected to be changed in a later version (but no further changes seen yet in betas).
I always use the keyboard shortcuts anyway.

Cannot import bookmarks from Safari because "import" option is NOT highlighted (not available). Why?

MacBook Pro - FireFox 4
I was able in the past (earlier FireFox versions) to import bookmarks from Safari when clicking on the "Organize Bookmarks." This now is not available. Instead, under "file" there is an "import" option but it is NOT highlighted, i.e., it is not available for clicking. How do you import bookmarks from Safari (or any other browser) after you have used FireFox for a while. i.e., not when you first set it up, but later?

"Organize Bookmarks" has been renamed to "Show All Bookmarks" in the bookmarks menu.
The option to import can be disabled if you are in private browsing mode. To stop Firefox opening in private browsing mode do this:
# Open the Preferences window and go to the Privacy panel
# Change the setting "Firefox will" to "Remember history", alternatively if you set it to "Use custom settings for history", de-select the setting "Permanent Private Browsing mode"

I no longer have access to the back up email address I used when I set up my apple ID. I have since forgotten the answers to my security questions and am having a problem making changes to my account. What can I do?

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

Is there a way to get my bookmarks in Safari on my iPhone into Firefox Home?

i browse around in Safari on my iPhone, and bookmark things.
is there a way to export / sync / transfer these bookmarks i made in Safari on my iPhone into Firefox Home on my iPhone?
or into Firefox on my Mac (because then it would just sync with my iPhone Firefox Home)?

Hi teethandbones,
There may be a simpler way to do it, but I know you can set your iPhone/iPad to syncronize bookmarks with Safari on your Mac. You could do that first and then import the bookmarks from Safari into Firefox.
Just a thought!

Is there any way to create a bookmark in safari that automatically creates itself for every user/account that logs into the computer?

I am currently trying to add in a bookmark to Safari that will be automatically created on every account on the Mac.
Is that possible? Or is the only way to do such a thing, to have to add it to each and every Safari on each individual account?

Yes.

New iPhone 6. Windows 8 desktop. Running Firefox browser as my default. Would like to sync my Bookmarks with Safari on iPhone 6.

New iPhone 6. This s my first iPhone. Windows 8 laptop. Running Mozilla Firefox browser as my default. Would like to sync my Firefox Bookmarks with Safari on iPhone 6.
It would be nice if Firefox was available on the iPhone, but apparently it is not.
If I could do a direct sync of Bookmarks between Firefox on a W8 machine and the iPhone, that would be nice.
Assuming I can't, I have installed Safari of my W8 laptop,
I exported my Bookmarks from Firefox, and then imported them in Safari.
First question:
Safari shows my Bookmarks in a way that is different from Firefox. It shows all the folders fown the left side of the window. If I want to see a saved bookmark within one of the folders, I have to click on the folder name and then the contents are shown in a separate panel off to the right. Can I get all Bookmark folders to open up vertically, that is, down the left side and under the folder name as they do in Firefox?
Second question:
How do I sync the bookmarks so that all hoes-based bookmarks are downloaded to my iPhone. An articel I read speaks of connecting my iPhone to the laptop. I have no idea of how to do that.
Thank you for any help. Not sure what Community to post this in. Sorry. Newbie new to A

I have loaded my Firefox bookmarks into Internet Explorer Favorited. I also uninstalled Safari.
I go to iTunes on my phone and see no wat to connect my iPhone to my laptop. I see Music, Shows, etc., the kind of stuff I would expect, but no clue as to how to proceed.
Would you please be so kind to fill me in on how to "That syncing is done via iTunes. Connect the device to iTunes, select it, then go to the Summary page and select to sync bookmarks."?
I am not sure what you mean by "Summary Page"
Thank you
