Firefox mailfolder (with 6,000 link bookmarks) won't transfer to Chrome OR Safari...even tho others will!
I wasted about an hour trying to make my bookmarks within a folder I named (let's call it "Foolhardy books and CD's") be transferred to Chrome. Every single OTHER folder and bookmark within NOT called "mobile bookmarks" IS transferring!!! Worst is 1) I didn't start these bookmarks on the computer I'm using...and use 'sync' but no one ever told me that would become a dodo bird distinction when it comes to easy bm transfers. I have tried saving it in JSON or plain text on desk top as new folder and again, it just doesn't like the particular Foolhardy file from any otherwise complete 'add to Chrome from Firefox" etc. There's some dudes on a google search on this with a converter, but it doesn't do a darn thing, and no clear way to contact them "if somethings not working". My concern is if I can't get this bookmark folder to convert out of mobile format, its pretty pathetic, meaning it is trying to make me stay within Firefox/Mozilla format....ugggh!

The mobile bookmarks folder is handled via JavaScript similar to bookmarks imported from another browser.
Did you try a Copy/Paste of the mobile bookmark to one of the actual bookmark folders ?
What? That Java script thingy doesn't mean starbucks to me....I don't recall any instruction set coming with mob. bk. that explained any of this in plain english, nor the distinctions needed (or outside apps or MIT designers) just to get it from Firefox to any competitors! Moreover, cutting and pasting only works if I make a email draft. Pretty useless format to send to Chrome etc. Let's be clear....this group of 5,000 web links simply made my mac freeze up in trying to click and drag them all in a big blue drag over to the Chrome page (where all the other bookmark/folders are laughing their skinny a----s at). Nope...this folder is on my desktop and is probably too big to email as well! That's def. not the way bookmarks should be stored on Chrome, which isn't a mail or mac friendly format imho, unless you've a MS set up with Excel or something??
