Firefox Community Forum

I am trying to figure out how to import my saved internet bookmarks from Mozilla. I saved them earlier today (I think) on my old computer that I'm replacing; had to create an account, which I did)... and now trying to figure out how -- on my new computer -- to import them.

My laptop died and I have the SSD in a caddy connected to a spare PC. In order to import logins it looks like I need to convert the existing logins.json file to a csv. Not so keen to upload this to an online site. Tried excel to no avail. I have also attempted to copy and paste with Firefox closed. The file is there but passwords do not load into Firefox. Any suggestions appreciated.

I want to 'Import bookmarks, passwords, history, and autofill data into Firefox' - from an Extreme SSD, used as a Time Machine on my iMac.

I had to do a clean install on my iMac = due to a problem with the latest OS system update Sequoia. And have so far been UNABLE to import either 'Passwords from CSV file' or Bookmarks from HTML file'.

Thank you!

I am trying to import my bookmarks from my Firefox account on my old laptop into my new laptop. I created an .html export and moved it onto my new laptop. After executing the import, Firefox indicated that 350 bookmarks were imported but I only see the 4 bookmarks that it imported from my Edge browser (which I did not even want).

Installed ff on new C drive and trying to import my profile from replaced, working drive. Got as far as pasting previous folder into new one and see new files were added. Both drives W10. But clicking bookmarks and passwords gets "nothing saved." Cannot decipher folder contents, & without details it's a dead end.

Likewise there is a page here on "importing bookmarks from another browser", with a link. It opens to window where you can look for the file. Same problem, not knowing where bookmarks are. Is there a place to find details on what profile folders and files store. Or am I missing something else? Thanks for assist. -- PS Images could be added if any purpose.

I am new to Firefox and tried to import the Google Chrome Bookmark Toolbar bookmarks. This did not happen and need to get the items listed in the Chrome Bookmark Toolbar into my Firefox Browser.

I tried import all of Google Chrome's history into firefox using the import feature, but not all the history was imported.

In about:config I modified "browser.migrate.chrome.history.limit" and "browser.migrate.history.maxAgeInDays", and it didn't work, actually nothing at all was getting imported after modifying these values.

I am evaluating a password manager application and exported my FF passwords and imported them into the app. For testing I removed all of the passwords from FF. I want to password protect the csv file rather than delete it in case I need to import the passwords back into FF. When I go to File/Info, the "Protect Workbook" option is greyed out. When I go to the "Review" tab, the option to "Protect Workbook" is available, not the "Unprotect" option, so the workbook is not protected. If I click on the "Share" folder on the right side of the ribbon, there is no "More" option. In Windows Explorer the file is on my desktop, not OneDrive - Personal. I right clicked on the file, selected "Give access to" and took the option to remove access. The File/Info option is still greyed out. How can I password protect this file or how can I export it in a format that can be imported later?

I have one computer. I use Chrome for work stuff. I use Firefox for personal stuff. I installed the new Firefox as I was supposed to, and it closed all my tabs. I usually have the option to restore my previous session, but not this time. So I started going back through my history (grrrrr....) and my history is full of all the sites/tabs I visited with Chrome. I DO NOT want work stuff mixing with my personal stuff. Besides the fact that it is making it harder for me to restore my lost tabs, there is a reason I have two different browsers. I wish Firebox weren't trying to change my organizational scheme. I DO NOT WANT FIREFOX TO IMPORT HISTORY OR BOOKMARKS FROM CHROME. How do I turn this off?
