Why the "Import Data from Another Browser" option cannot be chosen

I click on History on the menu, then, Show All History option, a new window appears called Library.
I click on the button: 'Import and Backups', a drop down menu appears with the option 'Import Data from Another Browser'; however, this option in my browser is light gray, i.e. I cannot choose it. Why?

Are you in the Private Browsing mode when you try that Import menu item?

  • I would like to import my bookmarks from IE but the 'Import Data from Another Browser' is greyed out and not an available choice.

    By following the directions on Firefox to open up the Library tool - import & backup - The drop down choice to 'Import Data from another Browser' this choice is greyed out and unavailable. I do not know how to proceed in order to import my favorites from IE.

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.

  • Import data from another browser - Only few IE9 favorites get transfered to bookmarks. HTML solution - HTML file all favorites correct, but same result

    Win7 / IE9: First time use. Example: One favorites folder has 4 HTML entries - only 2 get transferred. Some have none transfered - folder empty. Others have random correct + some missing.

    Monday Nght
    I can see complete IE9 Favorites HTML list in HTML file on Desktop with Firefox -> New Tab -> Open File.-> Open
    In desktop HTML file, there are 37 IE9 folders with no more than nesting 3 deep in any one top folder. These are all correct wrt IE9 favorites.
    All top folders + deepest nests are copied to FF ok. Contents random. Copied contents work ok
    7 HTML web sites not allocated to IE9 top folders are also copied <- these 7 copy to FF and work ok
    Example: First folder in IE9 list has no nesting., IE9 has 4 entries - Firefox has only 2. when either method of copying is used.
    BTW - please advise how I can delete whole Bookmark list in Firefox in one keystroke to be able to retry with a clean Bookmark list
    I am going to uninstall Firefox and start again with a clean copy and use HTML method only to try to transfer IE( files. I will report result.
    BTW, I am in UK on UK time - hence delays in replying - need to sleep sometimes!!!!!
    Tuesday Evening
    Hi
    I uninstalled Firefox. Re installed and loaded IE9 favorites from HTML file.
    All seem copied correctly
    First time I started by using the "import data from another browser". Partial copied.
    Then I tried "Import from HTML file" without deleting whatever favorites had been copied. Still partial copied.
    All seems well.

  • Chrome missing in Import data from another browser

    I use both chrome and firefox portable from site portableapps because mozilla doesn´t have a portable version.
    My dilemma today is this:
    I always had on firefox on menu "import and backup" > > "import data from another browser" listing chrome like this
    https://support.mozilla.org/media/uploads/gallery/images/2012-02-24-10-35-53-97ff60.png
    today i want to import chrome bookmarks to firefox but chrome is missing on the list, in the past i always had it there listed now is just pointing to IE
    Do i need chrome installed on machine to grab something from registry?
    By what i can remember always had that option on portable versions, i am importating this with a fresh pc machine because i installed now windows where i previously wiped the disk from manufacturer erasing tool.
    i digged the net and on questions here but cant find why its missing, can you guys tell me why?
    P.S- i would like to say that this site, Mozilla and Mozilla support, forums and community are the best service i´ve seen in years over the whole web i believe its really the best one and am not writing this because of this question, only thing missing is having Mozilla apps portable, a online chat would be cool too for the community
    Oh god i hope today the "fox" saves me cause i can´t find solution on this
    You guys take it easy.....

    Do you mean the portable version of Google Chrome as well?
    *http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/google_chrome_portable
    Which that version you probably need to export the bookmarks to an HTML file and import that file in Firefox.
    You can open the Bookmarks Manager in Google Chrome (wrench icon > Bookmarks > Bookmarks Manager) and select "Tools > Export Bookmarks"<br />
    This will export the Chrome bookmarks to a file bookmarks.html.<br />
    You can import that file in Firefox: Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import HTML : "From File"

  • My hard drive failed. I was able to restore my files from an external hard drive. I have my bookmarks saved but am not able to import them into Firefox as the only option is to import them from another browser. Any suggestions?

    -My hard drive failed.
    -I was able to restore my files from an external hard drive.
    -My bookmarks are saved to a folder on my new hard drive.
    -I am not able to import them from this folder on my hard drive into Firefox.
    - the only option Firefox offers for importing bookmarks is to import them from another browser...is there another way?

    In Firefox the bookmarks are saved in a database file called places.sqlite in the profile folder. If you have got this file from the external hard drive you can restore the bookmarks by copying this file to your current profile folder. For details of the location of the profile folder see either https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles or http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox

  • When I try to import pictures from another catalog, I cannot access my RAW pictures.  I can only seem them as non supported what do I do to import?

    When I try to import pictures from another catalog, I cannot access my RAW pictures.  I can only seem them as non supported what do I do to import?

    Sorry for the long delay.  I have Windows 8.1  and using Lightroom 5.7  I have organized my unedited RAW format photos in files on my hard drive in folders in My documents/pictures.  Once I edit them I move them to another folders on a separate drive and discard the rejects.
    When trying to access my documents by selecting .File - Import from another catalog- my documents/ pictures; I see the folders, however when I select it, it says No items to match your search  When using the drop down menu on the lower right I can only see the images if I click on "all files" and when I click on the image I want to import,  it says "Lightroom cannot import this catalog; "The catalog does not appear to be a valid Lightroom catalog"
    All of this happend when I loaded a Cannon Pro 100 printer plug-in.  I tried to disable the plugin, but It is still happining and cannot access the images.

  • Error in importing data from multiple ASCii files, Concatenat​e

    I am trying to use the "Importing Data From Multiple ASCII FIles.VBS" and the "Concatenate Groups.VBS" scripts downloaded from here, http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/3870. When I run the importing data script and test it by highlighting the example data that comes with the download I get an error. "Error in <Importing Data From Multiple ASCII Files.VBS> (Line:60, Column: 11):  Variabls is undefined: 'AscIIAssocSet'  "
    The offending line of code is "  Call AsciiAssocSet(FilePaths(i), StpFilePath) ' assign STP file    "
    Screenshots of the error are attached.
    Can anyone tell me what this error is?  Am I just doing something wrong? Getting quite frustrated.
    Thanks in advance.

    Please have a look at the DIAdem Example to concanate channels. Its delivered with DIAdem.
    Examples > Creating Scripts > Scripts > Appending Channels to Each Other
    Please use a dataplugin (File -> Text DataPlugin Wizard...) or the csv plugin to load your data.
    Greetings
    Andreas
    P.S.: The one you have downloaded needs the old Ascii Wizard that is not activated by default in newer DIAdem versions.
    If you want to use it anyway:
    Settings -> Options -> Extensions -> GPI Extensions ...
    Add gfsasci.dll

  • Import data from a partitioned table

    I am trying to import data from another server database. I need only data from two partitions from a partitioned table in that database. I have to use IMPORT wizard.
    The new server should also have the partitioned table with those two partitions data.

    I created the database on the destination server with a primary, log, FG1 and FG2 filegroups.
    Next, created the partition function and scheme
    create partition function pfOrders(int)
    as range right
    for values(34);
    create partition scheme psOrders
    as partition pfOrders
    to (FG1,FG2)
    go
    Next, created the table on primary with primary key.
    Next, used import wizard twice to import data related to partition_id 34 and 65.
    The problem is the data is on primary filegroup. FG1 and FG2 does not have any data.

  • Need to know the sqluery to find the disabled date from OIM 9.1.0.1

    Hi Experts,
    Need very urgent inputs from you all for the preparation of our audit.
    We are using OIM9.1.0.1
    We need to know the sqlquery for finding the Disabled date in OIM given the user ids, as currently we are unable to get the exact data from Historical Reports Option in OIM.
    I need to give in this format:
    select usr_login, usr_disabled from schemaname.tablename where usr_login in
    ('aaa','bbb'..... etc)
    We have three attributes :USR_DISABLED_BY_PARENT,USR_DISABLED,USR_DEPROVISIONING_DATE,but none of them give the exact date,
    USR_DISABLED gives just a flag as 1 or 0.
    Also there are no other fields in the corresponding usr table.
    So how to fetch the exact Disabled date from OIM system when I input the user ids.
    Your immediate response is appreciated.
    Thanks
    SS

    In the entire thread many experts have given nice queries in different formats...
    The best approach would be to open up the SQL Developer, connect with the OIM Database and experiment with all sorts of SQL queries provided by all the experts..
    Learn some SQL techniques, like Inner Join etc...
    Then you yourself will be able to figure out what you need, in exactly which format, for which users and for whom you have to restrict
    Then not only this question, you would be able to solve dozens of similar such issues yourself...
    And trust me, nothing can match that...
    Just in case, you are not familiar with SQL Developer,
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/sql-developer/downloads/index.html
    Oracle SQL Developer 3.2.1 (3.2.10.09.57)
    September 24, 2012
    The Disabled DATE will be the creation date of that entry in the UPA_FIELDS table when Users.Status changed to Disabled.
    SELECT USR.USR_LOGIN, UPA_FIELDS.CREATE_DATE
    FROM UPA_FIELDS
    WHERE UPA_FIELDS.FIELD_NAME='Users.Status'
    AND UPA_FIELDS.FIELD_NEW_VALUE='Disabled'
    AND UPA_FIELDS.UPA_USR_KEY=USR.USR_KEY
    AND USR.USR_LOGIN NOT IN ('XELSYSADM', 'XELOPERATOR', 'WEBLOGIC');

  • Import data from excel explanation

    Running SAP B1 2007 A PL49.
    In the import data from excel functionality, using items.  There are 2 checkboxes that appear:
    update existing records
    update accounts in existing items
    can anyone explain what each checkbox means?
    Thanks,
    Rich

    hi Rich,
    Update Existing Records
    The system overwrites the data in the corresponding fields of the existing master records.
    The numbers of the master records for business partners or items cannot be overwritten.
    The type of a business partner cannot be changed once business transactions have been entered for that partner.
    Update Accts in Existing Items
    When importing item data, you can also update the information for the expense and revenue accounts.
    To overwrite the respective item master data record
    regards,

  • After "upgrade" to new firefox, bookmarks didn't transfer. Help tells how to import from another browser but not old firefox. Also my anti virus (latest update) apparently not compatible with 4.0 Can I restore my old version

    Question
    After "upgrading" to new firefox none of my bookmarks are in new bookmarks help topics tell me how to import from another browser but not from previous version of firefox. Another problem is my anti virus ( most up to date) is apparently not compatible with 4.0 liked the old firefox would never have "upgraded" had I known my anti virus wouldn't work. Can I get old version back

    Check with Kaspersky as to what versions of Firefox their programs are compatible with. It is up to Kaspersky to keep their stuff up to date as Mozilla releases new versions of Firefox. And if they are unwilling or incapable of doing it, they should inform their customers of such and maybe refund their customers instead of stringing them along.

  • How to do import data from the text file into the mathscript window?

    Could anyone tell me how to do import data from text file into mathscript window for labview 8?
    MathScript Window openned, File, Load Data - it has options: custom pattern (*.mlv) or all files. 
    Thanks

    Hi Milan,
    Prior to loading data in Mathscript Window , you have to save the data from the Mathscript window (the default extension of the file is .mlv but you can choose any extension). This means that you cannot load data from a text file  that was not created using the Mathscript window.
    Please let me know if you have any further questions regarding this issue.
    Regards,
