Sync Bookmarks w/ Firefox

Is there an app which will sync bookmarks in Saferi Touch w/ Firefox on an iMac?

Here's a work around for you as touch Safari will only sync bookmarks with the full version of Safari.
Open Safari, go to File > Import Bookmarks and import your Firefox bookmarks. You can either leave them in the same folder or move them around the way you want them to appear on your touch.
Plug your iPod in and allow it to sync. On the Summary page in iTunes, you will see a series of tabs. Click on the Info tab, scroll down, and click the box by Synch Bookmarks with Safari. Go back to the Summary page and click the Sync button. Your bookmarks are now in the touch.
BTW, if you haven't tried the Safari beta, you might want to give it a go. It is a really fast browser.

Syncing bookmarks from Firefox in iTunes for 3GS?

When you sync your iPhone it gives you the option to sync bookmarks from IE or Safari, but I use Firefox and this doesn't show on the menu... what am I doing wrong?

Firefox does not show as a browser to select for syncing bookmarks since syncing bookmarks with Firefox is not supported. You should be able to import your Firefox bookmarks with Safari on your computer followed by syncing your iPhone Safari bookmarks with Safari on your computer.

Is there a way to sync bookmarks in Firefox with bookmarks in Safari?

I need to sync bookmarks between Firefox Sync and Seamonkey. Is this possible and if so how to do it??

I use Firefox and Seamonkey, both on the same computer and also on other computers. I would like to use Firefox Sync to sync bookmarks between Firefox and Seamonkey on all my computers, but I don't understand how to do this, since the browsers seem to use their own separate servers.
Is this possible and if so can you tell me how to set it up.
Thanks.

I understand the confusion!
I am not a Mozilla support person, but from my experience, Sync should be called Mozilla Sync, not Firefox or Seamonkey Sync.....
If you create an account in Firefox, that account is accessible to Seamonkey.
As per the Mozilla instructions, in Firefox you open "Options, sync, add device" and in Seamonkey "setup sync, I already have an account". The text here is a bit confusing because it should read "I already have a Mozilla Sync Account", otherwise you tend to think it implies a Seamonkey Sync account...
Then click "connect" and Seamonkey then supplies three fields of characters which you enter in the appropriate fields in the Firefox "add device" dialog.
I think it is confusing that in Firefox the server is called "Firefox Sync Server" and likewise Seamonkey offers a "Seamonkey Sync Server" suggesting they are two completely separate, non-connected entities.
Hope this helps!

Synced bookmarks with firefox sync missing

hi,
about a month ago i synced my bookmarks via firefox sync from my old macbook to my new macbook and it worked. hurray.
i sold my old macbook and now my bookmarks seem to be missing. because the sync seem to have worked, i didnt bother saving the bookmark list file. now i dont know how to retrieve my bookmarks, any ideas?

hello Cornan, there is no such concept as "private bookamarks" in firefox - you can only exempt bookmarks as a whole from being synced (under ''firefox > options > sync'') if you want to keep different sets of bookmarks on different pcs.
please either use https://input.mozilla.org/feedback for general feedback or if you feel that it's a missing feature in the browser file a bug at bugzilla.mozilla.org.

Using iDisk to sync bookmarks from firefox??

I do not like safari, I am just a fan of firefox. I tried using it for a while but it is just not the style for me. But, I like having my bookmarks synced with my iPhone, and that only is automated with safari. But I do backup to .mac syncing and I have got firefox extension foxmarks to upload to my idisk server to store firefox bookmarks. But it makes its own folder at /documents/firefox.xml I tried to change its path to /library/application support/bookmarks/bookmark.xml so that when safari synced with .mac, it would take the firefox bookmarks then sync that to my iphone.
First off, does that make sense?
Second off, is there anyway to do that? Because when i click upload in foxmarks it connects but then says error:forbidden. is there any way to allow myself access to that?
Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Yeah, download the new safari to your computer (the one you sync the phone to) and have it transfer your bookmarks from firefox. Then when you sync the phone the bookmarks should transfer.

Sync bookmarks with Firefox

I sometimes run Firefox, but mostly I run Safari. I'd like to easily sync my ever-changing Safari bookmarks to Firefox. What's the simplest way to do that?

I can sync bookmarks on my Firfox for android, but folders aren't sync, i can only get bookmarks from bookmarks main folder. Is a bug or a config issue?

I can sync bookmarks in firefox for android, but only the ones that are on Bookmarks main folder, the folders create below the main folder are not synchronized. Is this a bug or a config issue?
Thanks

Thanks Barney, I tried that but all that comes up in Spotlight are the log files that show the file paths! I don't know how Steam works. Are all the files held by Steam on their server perhaps?

Bug 769476 - sync from Mobile Firefox (smartphone or tablet) will disorganize the order of bookmarks on desktop

Hello,
Normally, I've been using Firefox sync on desktops (home and at work, all running on Arch Linux and one Windows desktop) until now only, without any bigger problems.
I've bought an tablet last week (Nexus 7, with Android 4.2 after update).
After I installed the Mobile Firefox (version 18 was just fresh) onto the tablet, have linked via my account to the sync.
After initial sync finished, I noticed first disorder of my bookmarks on my desktop, without knowing more about the source of the problem at first.
Have been observing and performing various tests the last days, and have come to an conclusion, that the source of this is the Mobile Firefox on my tablet.
Every time I had to restore (fortunatelly I'm performing backups of these) my bookmarks on my desktop to regain the order I want.
I have to disable the sync on the Mobile Firefox in order to stop this bookmarks disorganization.
Afterwards, the problem of bookmarks disorder on my desktops is gone, just until I reenable the sync on Mobile Firefox, then it gets broken again.
By disorder/disorganization of bookmarks I mean this:
1. normal working status as desired when Mobile Firefox ain't synchronizing:
A
B
C
D
E
F
2. broken status after Mobile Firefox sync. enabled (the order may change randomly):
A
C
E
F
D
B
-- but on the tablet's Mobile Firefox, the bookmarks order is being held as far as I've noticed.
I've already tried to clear my entire Mobile Firefox profile, in order to get rid of all Mobile Firefox settings and bookmars, to start on the tablet with a clean shield. Haven't helped, it always breaks the bookmarks order on the desktops again once newly reconnected via sync.
Unfortunatelly, I don't have no other tablet device at hand to test in elsewhere, thus to confirm or deny, whether this is lonely problem on my table only, or a globale Mobile Firefox problem.
Is this some sort of Mobile Firefox bug?
Any other ideas about what to check/change in order to fix this problem?
Thanks in advance for any help.
---- update 20130115 ---
Have just tried to enable the sync even on my smartphone (HTC Desire S, Android 2.3.6), where I used the Mobile Firefox sync before, but have disabled the sync few weeks ago (that time using ver. 17), as the Mobile Firefox started to trigger the sync very often with these new versions, and with one core CPU smarphone, it always took quite long to finish.
Since then, I was forced to perform Factory Reset due to some another unrelated problem.
Afterwards, new version 18 was released, I still wansn't using the sync on the smartphone.
But after I opened this question, just to test it I've reenabled the sync on the smartphone (having already ver.18 installed), waited for the sync to finish on both, smartphone first, following on the desktop, and what a surprise, the bookmarks order did screw up again.
Thus, it's not just my tablet affected, but smartphone is as well.
Now just to differentiate, whether perhaps my sync account with my data is broken somehow, or if the Mobile Firefox sync is indeed the the reason even globaly, not just with me?
But how to differentiate it?
Shall I perhaps open an bug at the bugzilla.mozilla.org ?
have just discovered, that bug already reported https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=769476

Windows 7, Linux, and Android each sort Alpha-Numeric strings differently.
Linux ignores beginning spaces and symbols.

Add another computer
Do these steps on the computer you are trying to add to Firefox Sync.
At the top of the Firefox window, click the Firefox button and select Set Up Sync. The Firefox Sync Setup window will open.
Click I Have an Account.
Since you're not near the device with Sync already set up, click the I don't have the device with me link.
Sign in to your Sync account:
Enter your account email address
Enter your password
Enter your Recovery Key
Then click Next
You will see a Setup Complete screen. Click Finish to complete adding this device to your Sync account.

Bookmarks of Firefox Sync lost & Request to restore Firefox Sync data

I'm using "Firefox Sync" to sync the bookmarks between a desktop and a tablet.
On the desktop, the bookmarks include 2 parts:
# all bookmarks by "Firefox Sync" is updated to "Mobile device" folder;
# another part is bookmarks that only add/change by desktop and is unchanged by "Firefox Sync".
Last night, "Mobile device" folder on the desktop lost, but other bookmarks exist. since I haven't used the tablet and synced with the tablet for a month, all new bookmarks in "Mobile device" folder lost and cannot find out from the tablet. The bookmarks includes my important research; thus, I really want to get it back.
I've tried the following methods, but it still doesn't see "Mobile device" folder:
* sync bookmark with the server (I'm afraid that the blank already replaced the data on the sync server)
* restore the autosaved bookmarks file *.json
* move places.sqlite to another computer
Does Firefox backup their Firefox Sync Server everyday? Would I request Firefox Support to restore my Firefox Sync data on the server back to 3 days ago? Thanks!

Thank you for your reply. It's so sad to hear that it cannot restore data back to 3 days ago. I've checked the tablet and the desktop, it cannot find out the data. I only blamed myself that I didn't backup the bookmarks...and I need to do it from scratch.
But I haven't understood why the bookmarks disappeared in the desktop without any error. I've just updated Firefox from 8.0.1 to 15.0.1, I hope it'll not happen again.

Bookmarks in FireFox Sync

Currently, I have two computers syncing in firefox. I am only syncing bookmarks. The screen I will be referring to is when I hit ctrl + B to show all my bookmarks.
With Firefox sync, it separates the bookmarks for computer 1 and computer 2 with a line. It shows computer 1's bookmarks on top and then computer 2's bookmarks on bottom. Anytime I bookmark something in computer 1, it shows under where all of computer 2's bookmarks are, when it should bookmark to where all of computer 1's bookmarks are.
This isn't a huge deal. I can just move it, but if I forget to move it, then I'll have trouble finding it, because I expect it to be under where all of computer 1's bookmarks are since that is where I bookmarked it from.

Another similar question regarding this. I can make a new post if needed.
Is there anyway to default the new bookmarks to the top? Currently, I have lots of folders. Any new bookmarks I keep open if I'm currently using them. And then when I don't need quick access to them anymore, I place them in one of the folders.
So the active ones need to be top, otherwise, I continually have to scroll past all the folders to get to the active bookmarks. Thanks.

Unable to sync bookmarks between N80 and Firefox

Versions
PC Suite - 6.81.13.0, Windows XP SP2, Lotus Notes - 6.0.3
Mozilla Firefox - 1.5.0.7
Nokia N80 version
V 4.0623.0.41
26-07-2006
RM-92
Nokia N80 (12)
I was able to sync up the N80 with Lotus Notes Calender and Contacts until I turned on sync of bookmarks with Firefox. It synced up the first time. Subsequently, I am unable to sync up after connecting to the N80. The only way it works is if I turn off bookmark syncing in "Nokia PC Sync - Settings/Bookmarks/Bookmark Items".
Any solutions? Please explain how bookmarks can be managed/synced up with Firefox. Which bookmarks will be synced?

My questions is why does iCloud control panel 3.0 no longer sync with Safari???? It worked so well before. And now the option is not even there? I work across platforms and across MANY iDevices. The only internet engine that might work now across all is Chrome. Can I go from Safari to Chorme in the new iCloud control panel. I use my bookmarks and reading lists everywhere. I know Safari blindfolded. Why did Apple drop it's own search engine? Inquiring minds would like to know.
Thank you
Peace
