Firefox Support Forum

Trying to bring bookmarks from Safari to Firefox, I've carefully followed the instructions provided by folks in this forum with no success.

Using "Import data from another browser" I get "From Safari" folders but they turn up empty; see screenshot. Using "Import bookmarks from HTML" and selecting the bookmark file I exported from Safari, I get an "Export Complete" message but nothing shows up in Firefox. Not even empty folders.

I've tried repeatedly. Quit browsers, rebooted, opened browsers, nothing works.

(sorry if this is a duplicate question; I put it in the wrong place earlier)

Help?

I seem to have exported my Safari bookmarks and imported them to Firefox on my new MacBook Air, but I can't make them appear in the bookmarks toolbar. All that toolbar shows is a "Getting Started" prompt, which I have gone through and completed its survey.

I have brought over my saved bookmarks from Chrome. When I log into a website such as twitter, facebook or indeed any other where I have a username and password, I have to retype them in. Why? I ticked the box to copy over all of my cookies etc. If I log in to twitter on Chrome, it knows who I am.

Hey, got some trouble while attempting to transfer my data from Chrome to Firefox.

I can import bookmarks via the HTML file but I wanna import everything else other than bookmarks too.

When I check the "Import Settings and Data" tab to import from another browser, Chrome isn't even on the list to import from, is this not supported anymore? Is there anything I can do?

Thanks in advance!

Hi, I use Firefox 62.0 on Ubuntu and I would like to know how to backup my saved passwords without use Firefox Sync and without copy the entire profile folder. I'll explain: considering that for some generic problems the profile could be corrupted in the future, I would like to backup only my password without to be force to use Firefox Sync and uploading my passwords on cloud (with all the consequences on security and privacy) Is there any way to do this? Many thanks

at All Bookmarks, Firefox lists "Imported x/x/14 and Safari imported x/x/15. Under the "Toolbar category, it lists 2 separate "from Safari", and the second one is correct. I need to get rid of the old bookmarks, default to the latest. How the heck do i do that? Help just doesn't seem to cover it, none of the articles i can find cover it, and if i try to edit, i have to delete one at a time, with no hope that will get me the latest (5/14/19) up as the default, especially the toolbar. I do NOT want to have to do it one at a time to change from 2015 to now! I can't upload the screenshots, Firefox saays too big and doesn't give an option to reduce.

I'm on Ubuntu 18.04, running Firefox 64.

I've tried importing directly through the wizard from chrome, and from chromium. I've tried importing through an html file (the html file itself is fine). Just literally nothing happens. I've tried running FF from console to see if there were any error messages, nope nothing.

Does this just not feature just not work at all?

I've followed all instructions, exported my Edge bookmarks, but I just don't have any access to them from Firefox. I'll have to uninstall and continue with Edge until this feature is made available.

My old computer broke down and I am using a USB Hard Driver Adapter to connect my old HDD to my new computer. I would like to import my bookmarks from my old Firefox but the Firefox application on my old HDD wont run on Windows 10. The older version of Firefox ran on Windows Vista. The version of Firefox on my new computer's drive is up-to-date and runs on Windows 10.

Greetings. New to Firefox. Version 62. Windows 7 Pro. Imported favorites from Google, got individual favorites but did not get folders. I want to delete everything and start over. Also, why did I not get folders and associated contents when importing? Thanks.

Using the import from HTML option everything seems OK until the end. when I select the file and hit the open (or whatever) button, there is no error message, but nothing happens.

I want to sync all password from either Safari or Mac Keychain to Firefox, however in the "Import from other browser" window, I can't find passwords. Is it possible to import password directly into Firefox, or is there other ways to complete this task?

Why doesn't the import bookmarks function work in firefox? I've tried importing my bookmarks via an html file and directly from other browsers. It doesn't work. The page doesn't move; It just remains blank. I would be very grateful for any help.

Thank you.

I have hundreds of passwords in chrome but firefox only import a few of them. How can I force Firefox to import all passwords in chrome? I try many time and reinstall Firefox but it doesn't work

Basically title. I have the Old Firefox Data folder, but when I try to copy it into my appdata (both local AND roaming) nothing happens. My Old Firefox Data folder has another folder inside it containing all the data named g4xfs73z.default, which I haven't seen reference to on any forum. This name also does not match the name of my current profile folder. If I copy this folder in, nothing happens. If I copy the contents of this folder in, nothing happens. Any ideas?

Hello, I'ld like to imgrate from Chrome to Firefox. There is option to import my data, bookmarks etc. and it works fine, but only for my first Chrome profile. I have two profiles on Chrome, one for work, one personal and would like to import only personal data. Unfortunately, Firefox always import data from work profile, and there is also no option to select profile.

I tried to delete work profile and migrate then, but in this case, Firefox doesn't see my Chrome instance.

Its still in the old way it was. Gray color icons with the look of an earth like icon. Come on...you can do better then that.

I used to be a Firefox user in the past until i moved to Chrome but its one of the things that deters me from coming back to Firefox.

As explained I am Unable to completely move from chrome to Firefox but for some reason Firefox doesn't wants to sync all my passowrds. I have tried to submit the CSV file but that was also not collected in firefox. Please help.

I have just downloaded Foxfire and tried to import bookmarks from Edge. I get a message that the import was successful but there are no bookmarks. I have tried all the help suggestions I can find to no avail. Even reinstalled Foxfire but again, no bookmarks.
