All my favorites from internet explorer will not transfer over to firefox. I've tried all the suggestions already:

  • importing from internet explorer
  • exporting favorites from internet explorer then importing to firefox

Only half of my favorites are moved over to firefox. Very frustrating.

W7 - 64bit. After last update FF 18 was restarting FF only possible with restart of pc. Therefore I ran uninstall and re installed FF hoping this would resolve the problem. All bookmarks and history was probably lost with uninstall. None of the support and help sites suggestions could resolve it. I found a place.sqlite file of 10 MB in an old profiles backup but no json file. Would like to recover at least the bookmarks. Is it possible in this situation?

Hi,

(1) I know how to import bookmarks, but, once I import all of my bookmark .html files, (have 6)... than I go to show all bookmarks, I have 6 "unsorted bookmarks" folder tabs, and one "unsorted bookmarks" tab of my current bookmarks. How do I combine all of these into 1 giant .html file? Or is it automatically combined once I imported, to where I can export and it'll have all 6 old .html files and my current bookmarks?

(2) I know how to sort bookmarks, and I like sorting by "location", but is there a way to export as .html file so it saves the .html book mark file by "location"?

(3) In the .html file there is some sub description for each bookmark, such as "Twitter is a social networking site, where users tweet to other users blah blah", is there any way to delete this? I'd like it only to display the bookmark name and the URL (usually I'll have to click on the name and it'll open up the website), but I like the website to be typed out.

This "bookmark" can't be deleted nor I can choose the option "Forget About This Site" or anything else. It just won't disappear. Furthermore, when this bookmark is placed in a section (separated by separator) with other bookmarks, it causes them not to be shown in the Bookmarks Toolbar, so I have to place it in a section where there are no other bookmarks but this one, still I can't get rid of it nor know I got did it get there. I tried running Firefox in safe mode and whatnot but nothing seems to work. Please help me out.

Thanks,

Ed

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.

Sometimes when clicking on a Live Bookmark, a transparent outline drops down instead of the normal stories. I've included a link to a picture of the problem. This happens about 50% of the time when clicking on the Live Bookmark. My only work around is to keep clicking the LIve Bookmark until it shows up normal again. I recently downloaded Aurora to see if that would fix the issue, but it did not. Before I was using the beta version of 19.

After installing FF21 (win7 pro) when I tried to "bookmark all tabs" from an open tab context menu, instead of the place for the name of the save being blank, it had the name of an old bookmark that seemed to be random. I restarted FF and restarted in Safe Mode, but that did not fix anything. Then I reset FF and that did not fix anything. In fact now when I click Ctrl+Shift+D or use the tab context menu I get a dialog like I am saving a new bookmark, not bookmarking all tabs. There is a place for the Name Location Folder Tags Keyword The only add-ons I activated after doing the reset are Numext 0.7.3, Theme and Font Changer 7.1, and Roboform 7.8.9.5, all of which I have been using for years with no prior problems. Note: After doing the reset, I tried Bookmark all tabs before I enabled any add-ons, and experienced the same problem. I have a screenshot of what I get when I try to use bookmark all tabs.
