My old computer crashed. Fortunately I had Carbonite and was able to restore my data to a new computer, but I have not been able to import or restore or transfer my bookmarks. I went Bookmarks/Show All Bookmarks/Import & Backup, then tried both "Restore." The Restore showed several dated backups but in spite of the message "This will replace all your current bookmarks" it did not. Next time around I tried: "Import Bookmarks from HTML." But I could not find where the the bookmark folder was located.

I am having a hard time importing my bookmarks into a fresh install of Firefox under Mac OS 10.6.8?

I use Xmarks for my bookmark storage.

After installing the Xmarks plug-in and running through the initial sync, Firefox (21) just hangs and I have to force quit when the final bookmark importation is attempted.

I am in touch with Xmarks, but last night I tried something different, I downloaded my bookmarks from Xmarks as a html file and tried importing it manually into FF and the same thing happened, it just hangs, the beach ball spins and I have to force quit?

Any support on this would be greatly appreciated

When I import my favorites from my desktop to my laptop, I can use an exported part of my registry to restore the sort order on my laptop so it's the same as it is on my desktop.

However, when I imported my favorites on my desktop into Firefox, which I recently installed on my desktop, it's all in alphabetical order, which is NOT the order they are in in IE.

Is there a way to prevent Firefox from sorting everything when importing?

When I start up firefox, the original window displays my bookmark toolbar. But when I click a link where firefox opens a new window, not a new tab, the new window doesn't display my bookmark toolbar. I made sure that it was toggled to be on, and the original window has it, but the new one does not. I don't know how to fix it and it's really irritating because I use the toolbar a lot.

One of my hard drives (two physical drives in a RAID array that made them look like one big drive) failed, and had to be replaced. The computer has been repaired and I have restored from backup. I have looked in the user/desktop directories and the only bookmark file I can find is dated 8/2012 (This is 5/2013). Is there another place, Firefox bookmarks are stored, where I can look for a more updated file to import? Thank you!

Two or three weeks back I unintentionally cleared all bookmarks not realising that the 'folder' I was clearing them from was clearing them from all the bookmark 'folders'. At about the same time I think there was an upgrade. Since then every time i try to save a bookmark the 'save' screen appears; I click 'done'; but nothing is saved.
