Manual backup of bookmark json file is empty, export of bookmark html file "self-deletes"

I'm now using Firefox 17.0.11esr in Win 7 at work and 26.0 in Win XP at home. I tried 24.2.0esr at work, but had to return to the earlier version, because of this problem below, which also happens with my home machine:
I cannot save, manually or automatically, a usable bookmarks json file for use as a backup. The files are always empty.
When I try to export a bookmarks html file, it begins to create and save it, but then "self-deletes" it before it's done.
Why is this a problem with 24.2.0esr and 26.0, but not 17.0.11esr? What can I do about it?
Thanks

You can try to create a new profile and keep both profiles open at the same time.<br />
You can do that by starting the second instance with the -no-remote command line switch (see further down).
Then you can do a copy and paste of the bookmarks in the Bookmarks Manager (Library) from the current profile to the Library of the new profile to create a new places.sqlite database file.<br />
If that works then you can copy this places.sqlite file to your current profile folder.<br />
You will lose the history, but it is possible to copy history items to a bookmarks folder in the new profile.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
You can also opt to keep using the new profile and transfer some files from the old profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem.

See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Creating_a_new_Firefox_profile_on_Windows
Use the -no-remote command line switch to open another Firefox instance with its own profile and run multiple Firefox instances simultaneously.

Firefox will not automatically convert local pdf URL to include file:// like it does for local html files

I have some local PDFs sorted by navigating some local html files. Firefox recognizes that the html files need to be addressed file:///C:/SD_Online/datasc.html. When clicking the link for a PDF it remains c:/SD_Online/L-R4-106.pdf and I get an error saying "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because one of the following protocols (c) isn't associated with any program or is not allowed in this context."

Press the '''Alt''' or '''F10''' key to bring up the tool bar.
Followed by; '''File > Open File.'''

How do I export bookmarks from Firefox for Mobile (android) to an html file?

I have bookmarks on my Firefox for Mobile v 33.1 that I would like to copy/back up to an html file. Even if I access the desktop version on my tablet I don't see the Show all Bookmarks - Import/Export option. This Android profile used to be linked through the old Firefox Sync to my PC but the issue is that I can't access it from my PC anymore as I just had to replace the hard disk. I have now installed the new Firefox on my PC but it won't sync with the old Android version as the new Firefox Sync is not compatible with the old one. Also when I go under Sync on the Android, it says the email account is deprecated.
Going forward I understand I need to remove account on the Android, update to the new Firefox Sync and newly link PC and Android device. However I have read that If I remove the account on my Android Firefox and set up the new Firefox Sync on it, I will lose my old bookmarks and it will only start saving and syncing bookmarks from then on even if I use the same email address to set it up. If this is the case and before taking this step, is there a way I can copy my old Android bookmarks to an html file?
All suggestions very much appreciated! I'm completely lost.
Thanks

Tangram that is an answer for desktop Firefox. It does not apply to Firefox for Android.
There is no way to export bookmarks/history in Firefox for Android.
However your Firefox sync account is unrelated to the Firefox for Android profile. You can safely remove the account without loss of data. Then set up a new Sync Account.

Multiple HTML-files in one stack / link another HTML-file in a stack

Hi,
I want to integrate a webapp (html/js) into a stack of a dps-folio. All the HTML works fine ... all no problem, but at clicking the first link on the initial HTML-document the next (local) HTML-File is opened in a slider with a "ready"/"Fertig"-bar at the top. But I want, that all html files are seamlessly loaded in the same view.
At this point i found: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/digitalpubsuite/using/WS67cb9e293e2f1f60-8ad81e812b10bfd837-80 00.html and i made the file "NativeOverlays.config" and moved it to the described location. After that, the behaviour was correct in the desktop-preview-app of the DPS, but it still fails on the iPad-Adobe-Viewer.
How can i link between HTML-files without any interuption or sliding?
Thank you!
Christian

Hi Tim,
Thanks for replying. I have looked for "PDFBookBinder class" in xml publisher user guide for ver 5.6.2. I didn't get any reference of this text. Can you please guide me to a tutorial/link where i can get more information about this class.
Also, i originally thought of similar to your second logic, as my design basis. Oracle process generates the xml file in output directory which i can get. What i didn't get is how do i "pick them up and merge" using publisher. Also, is there way to do this merging process using pl/sql ? Can you please give little more information on your second approach.
My original plan of action is that i will create a report set in which i will call oracle seeded report for all 7 payrolls in a sequential manner. Then using the child requests of the report set i will get to 7 xml files generated by seeded oracle process. Then the piece i am not sure of , i will use those 7 files to generate a single xml file having payroll name as tree top for each output. Once single xml is ready, i can easily design a template and register the process to generate output as Excel.This process will not require me to actually change any data or do any calculation. It will only reformatting the feilds we see and abiity to see all 7 payroll at one time rather then entering these numbers manually into an excel to do analysis.
Please provide your feedback, if you think above plan is not feasible or need corrections.
Best Regards,
Ankur

How do I get the SWF file to send a variable to HTML file

I am new to flash and trying to figure out how this is working. I have a task to upgrade a web site. I have a map of ND with some cities on it. I needed to add a new city to the SWF which did not seem to be hard (asuming I did it correct). The action on all the buttons for each city look like this except the name after the # is the city selected.
on (release)
    getURL("locations_info.html#minot", "location_content");
In HTML code snip that controls this looked like this :
                      <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0" width="627" height="400">
                        <param name="movie" value="flash/map.swf">

                    <tr>
                      <td align="left" valign="top"><IFRAME src="locations_info.html" name="location_content" width="627" height="190" scrolling="no" frameborder="0"></IFRAME></td>
                      </tr>
                  </table>
                  </td>
snip from the locations_info.html file looks like:
<tr>
    <td align="left" valign="top"><table width="687" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="10">
      <tr>
        <td align="left" valign="top"><p class="maintext12"> </p>

Can someone help me understand way when I run this from my system it should load and address information for the correct city from the locations_info.html file but it doesn't. Nothing shows up..
Jeanne

If all of the other getURL() directives in the movie use the same syntax for the named anchor link then that part should be OK. In the html document, locations_info, again, if all of the named anchors look like the one that you listed, then you may just need to clear your cache to get the new anchor to work.
The a name="XXX" anchor is being depricated in some browsers. You can use id="XXX", or both, instead. Although if one works, they should all work.

What are the different ways to Export JTable to HTML file

What would be best way of going about (well the easiest way) in exporting a jtable to html file, I can only think of one...
Would it be to create file, then loop through Jtable and write data to the file using appriopiate tr, td tags..
Are there any other methods which are better?

Perhaps you could use XMLEncoder to write the JTable to an xml stream, and then use xslt to convert it into the html you want. Not sure if that is any easier.

Trouble exporting results to html file

Hi
When I query a clob (sql_text column on DBA_HIST_SQLTEXT) I am not able to to export the results to an html file.
Right click results|select all|export data|html
The file dialog does not come up.
Works fine without clob data, is this a limitation of the tool?
Thanks

Exporting to textile/html file

Hi everyone..I'm sorta new to this java thing..been working on it for a year or so now..and right now im working on this little project where I search a web crawler file and return a string array of results into list in a GUI I made.
What I basically want now is to export the result to a text file..preferrably a html file where I can then open the html file and then it'll have all the url links in it..so far I have this:
private class exportListener implements ActionListener
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
            String[] result = parent.getResult();
            if(result == null)
                return;
            JFileChooser chooser = new JFileChooser();
            chooser.setAcceptAllFileFilterUsed(false);
            chooser.setFileFilter(new HtmlFileFilter());
            chooser.setDialogType(JFileChooser.SAVE_DIALOG);
            int returnVal = chooser.showSaveDialog(parent);
            if(returnVal == JFileChooser.CANCEL_OPTION)
                return;
            File fl = chooser.getSelectedFile();
            String path = fl.getPath() + ".html";
            searchIF.exportResultAsHtml(path);
            System.out.println(path);
    private class HtmlFileFilter extends FileFilter
        public String getDescription(){return "Html";}
        public boolean accept(File pathname)
            String name = pathname.getPath();
            //Just checking to see if the filename ends with html.
            if (name.toLowerCase().substring(name.lastIndexOf('.') + 1).equals("html"))
                return true;
            return false;
        }These are basically handling the whole process of preparing to export to html..and then I made a SearchHandler which is accessed through an interface, and I have a method that reads like this:
     public void exportResultAsHtml(String path)
    What I'd like some help/advice on..is how I should process it..ie. what should I put in this method to setup the result into a html file with body etc and such, so it comes out in the file something like this:
www.something.com/index.html
www.somethingelse.com/index.html
www.somethingdifferent.com/index.html
And so that they are links you can click and it'll send you to the clicked link.

Here's a starter:
     private void exportAsHtml(final File target, final String[] links)
          throws IOException {
          if (target == null) {
               throw new IllegalArgumentException("No output file specified.");
          FileOutputStream fileOut = null;
          try {
               fileOut = new FileOutputStream(target);
               PrintWriter writer = new PrintWriter(fileOut);
               writer.println("<html>");
               writer.println("<head><h1>Web Crawler Links</hi></head>");
               writer.println("<body><ul>");
               if (links != null) {
                    for (int current = 0; current < links.length; current++) {
                         writer.println("<li><a href='" + links[current] + "'>" + links[current] + "</a></li>");
               writer.println("</ul></body>");
               writer.println("</html>");
               writer.flush();
          finally {
               if (fileOut != null) {
                    fileOut.close();
     }- Saish

.mov file (video) not showing in published html file

I inserted a .mov file into a digital book. Published it as html. I can see it in the web browser, but my teammate cannot. What could be the problem?

By "in it, " I mean the indd file has a mov file inserted into it. I published the file as a swf and html. She could see the html document, but the video wouldn't appear. She clicked on the poster image and then the slide was blank. If I insert a f4v file into the indd file and publish it as swf/html, she cannot view the html document at all.

Import bookmarks from html not working (YES, I know it really IS an html file and not JSON)

My objective is to make a global edit to the bookmarks in one folder. To do so, I exported to an HTML file, opened that file in Notepad, deleted all the other bookmarks, and did a search-and-replace to correct the ones I was trying to fix. Saved the file and attempted to import into Firefox. I *can* open the file and see the links, and I can use Import and Backup to get to the file and select it for import. However, after that, NOTHING happens.

Yes, does have .html extension and does work if opened in a tab. However, I just discovered that there was a missing > which proved to be the issue.
Once that was corrected, the import worked as it should.
Thanks! Your questions made me look again more closely -- I had overlooked that error MANY times earlier. :)

Manual Backup Details

Hello,
I got some problems with Windows and Bootcamp, and now I want to manual backup my Macintosh HD hard drive.
My question: What exactly files should I copy/paste for these fonctions:
1.Safari bookmarks
2.Stickies
That's it, I hope I am not forgeting smth.
Thank you,
iTunes

Hi iTunes,
For Safari bookmarks, simply copy the following file to an external source (CD-R, external drive etc):
Users/yourusername/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist
You simply place the Bookmarks.plist file back to it's original location once your done doing whatever you need to.
For Stickies, the contents are stored in a file called StickiesDatabase which resides in the user's library folder. More details here:

Importing new bookmark html file without doubling bookmarks

I saved my bookmarks form my laptop in an html file. now I want to import that file into the bookmarks on Firefox on my netbook.
the files are basically the same but i have dded several new bookmarks because I was using my laptop and have not used my netbook in awhile.
how do I import the new html file without doubling the bookmarks that are already on my firefox which is running on my netbook. a lot of the folders are the same.

There is no option to just import the new bookmarks.
A few options.
# Import the HTML file, then use the CheckPlaces extension to remove the duplicates - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/checkplaces
# Use the Firefox Sync extension to synchronize the bookmarks - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/firefox-sync
# If you want bookmarks on the netbook to be replaced with those from the laptop used the method in the following link - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Backing+up+and+restoring+bookmarks
With the last method, you backup the bookmarks to a json file and import that file onto the netbook. When you restore a json file on the other computer it will remove all bookmarks that currently exist and replace them with those in the json file.

My imported backup html files from another computer do not show up after import

I am currently transferring files from my macbook pro to a pc netbook. I already exported my firefox bookmarks via an external drive and accessed the html file on my new netbook. After importing the html on firefox on my new netbook, the bookmarks do not show up on my bookmark list.

Please see this article on how to move your bookmarks and settings from one computer to another: [[Moving your Firefox bookmarks and settings]].
Caution: Restoring bookmarks from a backup will overwrite your current set of bookmarks with the ones in the backup file.

I pulled the bookmarks html file off of my computer after it crashed, and am trying to get my old bookmarks into firefox. How does one do that?

When my computer crashed, we managed to recover a bunch of the files and information from it. One of the files we pulled was the bookmarks.html from the firefox folder. The computer was running on Vista when it crashed, and I now have it running 7 Professional. The file is recorded as a Chrome html file on the new computer, and when I click on it, it pulls up a basic html page within Chrome or firefox that has links to the firefox website (kind of like a webpage version of the bookmarks folder from the toolbar, but without any of the bookmark adding capabilities). I'd like to get my old bookmarks loaded into firefox. Help?

Firefox hasn't used the '''bookmarks.html''' file for storing bookmarks since the Firefox 2 versions, in 2008. Later versions use '''places.sqlite''' for bookmarks and history. What you have is the default file that Firefox uses on new installations and new Profiles, which has like 6 bookmarks.
If you still have access to that old hard drive, see this for help: <br />
