Risposte recenti a Can Firefox Sync be limited to Syncing in only ONE direction?, ie, from WORK to HOME ONLY?https://support.mozilla.org/it/questions/11394962016-09-21T02:24:41-07:00John99, Because I do NOT own any portable devices, do NOT like webmail, and collect up to 50-60 new 2016-09-21T02:24:41-07:00Genealogisthttps://support.mozilla.org/it/questions/1139496#answer-918993<p>John99, Because I do NOT own any portable devices, do NOT like webmail, and collect up to 50-60 new sources per day, I need to quickly transfer ORIGINAL pages AND their URLS to my HOME computer 1) for entry into my family tree AND 2) to document the SOURCES the data came from. Pocket fills that need better than ANY bookmark program. After creating an account, I login to Pocket wherever I am, save links to Pocket, then logout. Go home, login again, and there they are! In addition to the original URL, Pocket creates a reformatted copy on its server which isn't of any use to me. But since it offers an option to open the ORIGINAL URL from a NEW machine, I now have what I wanted - a way to QUICKLY transfer DATA AND URLS from one computer to another WITHOUT WEBMAIL or USB thumb drives. Once the ORIGINAL URLS are open on my HOME computer, they can be 1) bookmarked for safekeeping, 2) keyed into my family tree, and then 3) deleted from Pocket!

</p><p>I would have thought it is nearly as quick to paste a link in to an open document or webmail page as it is to save a bookmark. And that will be much quicker than bookmarking then editing a large exported HTML document. It also avoids possible security or privacy concerns if exporting work bookmarks outside a work environment.

<p>Yes, that is one way it could be done. But not the easiest. Most machines I am using already have the latest Firefox (with Pocket) installed, and are much faster than loading a portable app from a USB key drive. If Pocket works as I think it does, and I setup a Pocket Account, I should be able to login to Pocket on machines I don't own, search my ancestry web sites, add the found results to the Pocket, logout of Pocket, go home, login again from my home computer, and bookmark the results saved to Pocket on my own machine. Clear the pages out of Pocket, and start over again. Quicker and more elegant than repeatedly importing thousands of bookmarks I already have, then trying to cull duplicates. No USB drive required, and doesn't leave clutter all over the systems I did my research on. As long as Pocket sends me the ORIGINAL URL (not the URL of a temporary copy) this will do what I need. However, IF Pocket doesn't send me the ORIGINAL URLS, then this idea won't work at all. So... can any current Pocket users confirm that it DOES or DOES NOT send original URLS?

</p>I've already tried exporting links as HTML files. the problem is too many links end up in the files 2016-09-18T01:06:44-07:00Genealogisthttps://support.mozilla.org/it/questions/1139496#answer-918020<p>I've already tried exporting links as HTML files. the problem is too many links end up in the files that I do not need. it's more work to find the ones I need than I have time for. I tend to locate 50-60 new links per day and all i need is to transfer the NEWEST links. Ditto for sending by email. More hassle than I have time for. I'm going to try using the pocket to transfer only the newest links to my home computer. Thanks.

</p><p>Are you able to use memory sticks on your Office and Library computers&nbsp;?
Some places may worry about security and malware and have policies to prevent that.
</p><p>If you can use a memory stick then you can save whatever you want.
Simple word processing software will create files with addresses or bookmarks that are clickable links.
Another method to consider may be putting the links in an email if you are allowed to use email. With webmail you do not even need to send the emails, just draft them out and if you are allowed access to them on the Library and office again you have clickable links.
Yet another method export the office bookmarks form Firefox as HTML copy or transfer that file by whatever means to the home computer. Either import the bookmarks in to Firefox, or maybe just open the file (Keyboard shortcut Ctrl+O ) in Firefox Firefox will display a tab with a scrollable list of clickable links.
