Need to import bookmarks from json

Need to import my bookmarks from a different json file. When I try to import it says that it will overwright my current bookmarks. Don't want to do that, only add it it. Is that possible?

Thanks! I may try and see if I can still access that old computer and do an export as html then. If not, I'll do your above description. Thanks!

Restoring a JSON backup with 12000 bookmarks can be quite a challenge.
Maybe try this is a second profile and disable the timeout to see if it finishes.

If it works then you can copy the places.sqlite file to the current profile folder.

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.

How do I import Bookmarks from Firefox 28.0 into Firefox 29.0.1?

How do I import Bookmarks from Firefox 28.0 into Firefox 29.0.1? I am running OS X 10.7.5 and just updated Firefox from 28.0 to 29.0.1. How do I import my old 28.0 bookmarks into 29.0.1? I've tried all the suggestions but nothing works. WHERE are my old bookmarks? Help, please!

Your bookmarks can be imported and exported from the Library (Bookmarks Manager).
*Go to the clipboard icon, click Show All Bookmarks OR press Cmd + Shift + B
*Once there, you'll see Import and Backup (see screenshot), you have a choice to choose between backing up as a JSON (Import and Backup -> Backup) or HTML (Import and Backup - > Export bookmarks to HTML)
Once this is done and the file has been backed up, you can import them using the same method (Import & Backup -> Backup for JSON/Import & Backup -> Import bookmarks from HTML (HTML)
One of our awesome contributors explained the difference between a JSON backup and a HTML backup that is very explanatory:
Restoring a JSON backup will replace all your current bookmarks (you get a warning about that), so if you already have bookmarks that you wish to keep then export them to an HTML file before restoring the JSON backup.
You can import that HTML file after you have restored the JSON backup to get your current bookmarks back (you need to remove duplicates).
You can't import a JSON backup to add (merge) bookmarks.
Importing bookmarks from an HTML file adds the imported bookmarks to the already existing bookmarks, so you may need to remove duplicates.
An HTML backup doesn't support tags and annotations, so if you want to preserve those then you need to use a JSON backup.
A JSON backup doesn't preserve the website favicons, so you need to visit a website to get back that favicon.

How do I import bookmarks from a different PC installation?

I recently changed from a desktop to a laptop for my primary system when the desktop power supply failed. I was able to recover all desktop files by moving the HDD to an external USB enclosure.
Now I need to import the old extensive bookmark collection in Firefox 3.x to the laptop Firefox 3.x and combine it with the current bookmarks on the laptop.
How do I do this without destroying the bookmarks already on the laptop?

Before you do this, backup your laptops bookmarks as shown in the first part of the [[backing up and restoring bookmarks]] article. This step should not be necessary but I am just playing it safe so you can restore them if required.
The process below will save a copy of your bookmarks from the laptop, next it will replace the bookmarks on the laptop with those that were on the desktop. Finally it will import the laptops bookmarks, adding them to those from the desktop.
Export the bookmarks on the laptop again, this time to an HTML file, for details see [[exporting bookmarks to an HTML file]].
The next step is to restore the bookmarks from the HDD for the desktop. Follow the instructions in the [[backing up and restoring bookmarks]] article for restoring bookmarks, using the "Choose File" option. Now browse to the old profile folder on the HDD. For details of finding this folder see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox]. Inside the profile folder there will be a folder called bookmarkbackups containing files with names in the format bookmarks-yyyy-mm-dd.json, select the one with the latest date. This will import those bookmarks, and in the process replace those that are on the laptop.
The final stage is re-importing the bookmarks from the HTML file that you exported above, for details see [[importing Bookmarks from an HTML File]]. This will add the bookmarks to those that were originally on the desktop.
If you are likely to have duplicate bookmarks, you can use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/10897/ CheckPlaces] add-on to remove them if you wish.

Importing Bookmarks from an HTML Folder

I had to have a new hard drive install. The tech created a file call old back up which have all of my bookmarks in a HTML folder call favorites. Is there any way to import the whole folder into firefox 4.0 I can go in and do them one at a time, but I would rather just do the folder because it is already organize with subfolders.

The file that stores bookmarks may be locked or damaged which is preventing them from being deleted. Try deleting places.sqlite as shown on this site - http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locked_or_damaged_places.sqlite
Firefox will try to import bookmarks from a backup when you restart Firefox. If you do not want that to happen, in the profile folder where you found places.sqlite, there will be a folder called bookmarkbackups containing a few files with extension .json, delete all of those files. Also delete or rename bookmarks.html in the profile folder to prevent Firefox trying to import bookmarks from that file.

Will reinstalling safari let me import bookmarks from firefox?

I have not been able to import bookmarks to Safari, so I'm considering reinstalling safari because it is supposed to ask if you want to import bookmarks from another browser the first time it is run. Is there any way to completely uninstall and reinstall safari so that it will think it is being run for the first time?
I am running OSX 10.3.9 and Safari 1.2. Is this the correct version of Safari? If not, exactly where can I go to dowwnload the correct version?
Thanks
Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Always glad when I can solve someone's problem

Imported bookmarks from firefox

I have imported bookmarks from Firefox in to Safari that are not allowing Safari to function properly. They've given themselves folder names of "imported 2/7/07". Since I did this Safari is slow to open, it goes into not responding several times before opening. When I try to delete these folders Safari locks up totally. Is there a way to reset, reinstall or use terminal to delete these bookmark folders?

Only one collection folder should have been created, unless you selected "import" more than one time.
Because Safari is slow to open, buggy etc. one option would be to delete the existing Safari bookmark file and try the import again.
With that said, when you imported the Bookmarks, where you adding to your existing bookmarks (other than the standard Apple bookmarks), or were you starting anew? If it is the latter, go to the User Library>Safari folder and move to the trash the Bookmarks.plist file. Also, in the Preferences folder move the com.apple.safari.plist to the desktop. Restart Safari. A new Bookmarks folder is created, with the Apple Standard bookmarks.
Since this creates a new preference file, you'll need to reset your Safari preferences to your liking, plus any custom settings found in the Edit Menu (spelling) or View Menu (status bar, bookmarks bar, custom icons in the "Customize Address Bar" ).
Does Safari now seem functional? If it is, then go to import bookmarks. Here is the Finder path to the Firefox bookmarks:
User Library>Applications Support>Firefox>Profiles>onxd8rpi.default>bookmarks.html. Select it.
Then open Safari's Bookmark Manager by clicking on the Book Icon. Once open, you ought to see the Firefox Bookmarks on the left side under "collections". You can modify, redistribute, create new folders from there. I suggest moving the folders up to your Bookmarks Bar collection, so they are accessible from the Bar.

Run time error when trying to import bookmarks from firefox

When trying to import bookmarks from Firefox to Safari I get the following error message: "Run Time Error. This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way." Safari does not function anymore and I have to close it. Can somebody help me? I am using a PC with Windows 7.

In the Bookmarks Manager (Library) there is a toolbar with the Back and Forward button and three other buttons (Organize, Views, Import & Backup).
* The first (gear) button is the Organize button with basic edit menu items for bookmarks
* The second button is the Views button that allows to change the sort order for viewing purposes (doesn't sort permanently).
* The third (star) button is the Import & Backup button that allows to backup and restore a JSON backup and import and export an HTML backup and import bookmarks from other browsers.
Hover each button to see the tooltip or click each of them to see what they do.

I can't import bookmarks from SAFARI 6.0.1 on a MAC to FIREFOX 15.0.1.

I've followed directions for importing from HTML file and importing from another browser to no avail. I did get empty folders importing from another browser. Just empty folders no bookmarks.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Tom

Did you manage to export the bookmarks in Safari to an HTML file like posted above?
You need to do that first. 
Then you can open the HTML file in a (plain) text editor to check whether sections that start with "<H3" have a FOLDED attribute. 
If that is the case then you need to remove all the occurrences of the FOLDED attribute and save the file as plain text. 
After that you should be able to import the file in Firefox.

How do I Import Bookmarks from one profile to another ? I have tried searching online but I can find no "bookmarksbackups" folder and no "places.sqlite" Thanks

Hi,
I was wondering how to Import Bookmarks from an old firefox profile to a new one ? My laptop stopped working but I managed to copy my firefox data from the mozilla appdata folder. I want to now copy my old bookmarks to my new firefox profile on my new laptop. I have tried searching online for guidance but most methods mention a "bookmarksbackups" folder and a "places.sqlite" file. However, I can find no "bookmarksbackups" folder and no "places.sqlite" file. Among the files in profile I am trying to import FROM are a "bookmarks" html file(which seems to only contain the default firefox bookmarks) as well as "places.sqlite-shm" and "places.sqlite-wal" files. Although, the NEW profile on my new laptop I am trying to import TO DOES have a "bookmarksbackups" folder and a "places.sqlite" file.
I would be most grateful for any help received. Many thanks in advance for your help and for your time

<blockquote>
f458italia,
Per your screenshot - you don't have the /bookmarksbackup/ folder nor the places.sqlite file - your bookmarks don't exist in that old Profile. ''cor-el mentioned another file that is missing, so that Profile wouldn't have been operational.''
Are you sure that you don't have another Profile for that user account?
beemarco,
Sorry that we missed your question over here:

'''Thank you for your reply. If my bookmarks etc. were to unknowingly be saved in another profile how could I find/access this profile? Many thanks in advance '''

Hi
Home/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist is the file you want. Use a copy, just in case & do it with Safari quit.
