Switched from Safari to Firefox so I could read Yahoo mail--how do I find all my Yahoo bookmarks?

Yahoo! Mail stopped working w/ Safari, so I just installed Firefox. I'm trying to find the many BOOKMARKS that I saved, but I can only find them when I go back into Safari. Have they been moved to Firefox as well? If not, is there a way to move them, or will I just have to keep going back & forth? THANKS!!!

  • Switching from Safari

    Hi,
    I'm switching from Safari to Firefox (due to Google problems), and I have Firefox set up as a Startup Item (replacing Safari). However, while Firefox opens, the window doesn't show up. There is no startup window, or window of any kind, but the Dock shows Firefox open.
    Thanks,
    Allan

    Thanks Starman.
    I figured out a solution to the problem. In System Preferences>Accounts>Startup Items, I mistakenly put a check mark on the Firefox choice. Then I read the Startup Items instructions and it said to check Items you want hidden at Startup. That's why I couldn't see the page.
    I just assumed the check box meant to make the app. active.

  • Just switched from safari on my imac. when using search menu safari gave me the option to "find on this page," which was an incredible help while doing research. Is there any way to have this feature using firefox?

    Just switched from safari on my imac. When using search menu in safari I had the option to "find on this page," which was an incredible help while doing research and looking for specific phrases/words. Is there any way to have this feature using firefox?

    I think Safari has the same keyboard shortcut as Firefox "command+F" on a Mac or "Ctrl+F" on Windows.
    Look in the lower left corner for the Find. There are more likely to be differences in Find Next and Find Previous in the keyboard shortcuts, but continuing at the Find bar at the bottom doesn't matter what browser you use. There is an "X" there to dismiss the Find bar. In Windows the "Esc" key will dismiss the bar if you are within the find text entry area.
    Keyboard shortcuts:
    * [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Keyboard%20shortcuts?s=keyboard&r=0&as=s Keyboard shortcuts | How to | Firefox Help], from Mozilla very limited number of shortcuts but will show correctly for your system
    * [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/keyboard.htm Firefox and other Browser Keyboard Shortcuts (Comparison Table)], more comprehensive but is oriented to Windows users with some guidelines for Mac and Linux users.

  • Will bookmarks move with change from Safari to Firefox

    -----
    I'm considering going from Safari to Firefox. I'm weary of trying to organize files into Safari Folders, which is an almost impossible thing to do. My question is, if I switch to Firefox, will I lose all my bookmarks?
    -----

    HI,
    You can Export Safari Bookmarks from the Safari Menu Bar.
    File/Export Bookmarks. Then launch Firefox, from that Menu Bar, click File/Import
    You shouldn't lose any bookmarks doing it that way.

  • I am considering switching from MIE to Firefox. But I need to use an outdated version (7.3.1) of QuickTime, and I do not want Firefox to update it. If I installed Firefox, how would I prevent this?

    I am considering switching from MIE to Firefox. But I need to use an outdated version (7.3.1) of QuickTime, and I do not want Firefox to update it. If I installed Firefox, how would I prevent this?

    Firefox doesn't update plugins like that. The worst you might see is a "nag" from Firefox after an update, about that plugin being outdated; and you can dismiss that "nag" by just closing it.

  • 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.

  • My macbookpro is not opening pdf sites from safari or firefox, it goes to the address but just gives me a black screen. I can however open a pdf file that I have saved on my HD, it opens on preview. any thoughts?

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste (command-V) into the text box that opens, then press return.
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    I've seen an unconfirmed report that the "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you might need to remove it as well, if applicable.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

    How do I import bookmarks from Safari to Firefox?

    Import and Backup is the third (last) button on the toolbar in the Bookmarks Manager (Library) that looks like a star.<br />
    Other platforms show the text label, but on Mac you only see toolbar icons.

  • I download whats app and delete it an now i can't find it on app store..when i download from safari it write "your request could not be completed" tell what to to to find and download

    i download whats app and delete it an now i can't find it on app store..when i download from safari it write "your request could not be completed" tell what to to to find and download

    Go into your account in the App Store, sign out, do a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank then power ON again in the normal way.], go back to the Apps Store, sign in and try again.

  • My norton tool bar has not loaded when I switched from IE to Firefox

    My Norton tool bars, for phishing and Identity Safe, disappeared when I switched from IE to Firefox. I reloaded Norton to see if this would help but nothing changed.

    You can import the IE Favorites via
    *Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import Data from Another Browser
    You can also export the Favorites in IE to an HTML file and import that file in the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.<br />
    That way you also preserve any sorting that you may have done in IE with the Favorites.
    * Export the favorites in IE to an HTML file (bookmarks.html): File > Import and Export
    * Import the HTML file in Firefox: Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import HTML: From File
    See also:

  • I've switched from Google to Firefox because I was so tired of Google crashed all the time. Now I have the same problem with Firefox, Bank id, file down

    Hej!
    I've switched from Google to Firefox because I was so tired of Google crashed all the time. Now I have the same problem with Firefox, Bank id, file downloading, accessing Web pages, none of it works. What is the error?
    Ronnie.

    When Firefox crashes, it usually records information about what was happening at that moment and displays the Mozilla Crash Reporter. Are you seeing that, or is Firefox just freezing and you're killing it?
    Assuming you have crashes, you can submit that data to Mozilla and share it with forum volunteers to see whether it points to the solution. Please check the support article "[[Firefox Crashes]]" (especially the last section) for steps to get those crash report IDs, and then post some of the recent ones here.
    If that's not possible, have you tried Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
    You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
    After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
    Any difference?

  • PDFs saved from Safari won't open in Adobe Reader

    PDFs saved from Safari won't open in Adobe Reader - damaged file
    iMac late 2009 8Gb 3.06 Intel Core 2 Duo - Safari 6

    I encountered the same problem and tried doing what Suzanne did by right clicking the file and saving it to the computer first and then opening it.
    And then after double clicking the saved file windows prompted whether I want to open it with the newly installed Adobe reader 9.0 or with Microsoft Word. I chose the Adobe Reader 9.0 and clicked on the check box asking whether we always want to open this type of file using this program.
    I managed to open the file and best of all is after that I was able to directly double click on the pdf email attachments to open it.
    Seems like that we need to let windows associate the file type with the program first.

    If there was no backup, where would you recover the photos from.  Sorry but those pictures are gone.
