I have Windows 7 Home Premium os I'm using the latest version of Mozilla Firefox I have a meticulously updated Sony PC with top notch AV and spyware programs My computer is not causing the problem I have with Mozilla, here goes. I don't like the structure of Mozilla's browser bookmarks. In fact, I never have liked them. The use of these json backups is tedious and it NEVER works right. I'm pretty smart, but the way you have this structured for the average person on the street, they could NEVER figure this out without a computer science degree. The flaws I am seeing with Mozilla bookmarks are increasing, and I'm considering shopping for a new product because of this. I have almost 11,000 bookmarks. I have them meticulously organized in folders. Just yesterday, I lost about 150 bookmarks, through no fault of my own. Mozilla dropped them without warning. They are important links and are backed up in one of those ridiculous json files. I can't get the json file to recover. Mozilla hangs and will not restore the bookmarks from the json file. I can't get the entire 11,000 bookmarks transferred or synced successfully over to internet explorer either, because that browser is even more inferior than Mozilla and does not manage or load bookmarks well at all for my needs. There are a lot of other HUGE design flaws with Mozilla bookmarks, such as the lack of a confirm dialog when deleting a bookmark. This has been a flaw for YEARS. One other lingering problem with Mozilla is that since all the bookmarks are stored in a single file, it is IMPOSSIBLE to extract a small set of specific bookmarks within a single bookmark folder for sharing, emailing, or other manipulation, such as archiving. Nobody on the entire internet knows how to do it, so it must be impossible and has been a serious shortcoming of Mozilla for YEARS on end! However, my main problem now is how in the HECK can I get that json backup file converted in such a way as to read the missing links I want in text format for those 150 bookmarks that were deleted by Mozilla's software glitch? I really need to get those bookmarks back, however it is not worth messing up my current bookmark folder (which is still working on Mozilla) to retrieve only a small number of bookmarks. To summarize: 1. Please tell me why I can't restore the large json backup file of 11,000 bookmarks in an easy, convenient way and in a relatively short period of time? I'm not prepared to wait for up to several hours for this task and I don't want to risk losing what I have in the process of restoring. 2. How do I convert that json file containing the backup of my bookmarks into a readable file or better yet an importable/exportable file to use to recover only a small portion of the backup file (1 folder containing 150 bookmarks). Please help Mozilla, I'm frustrated and getting a little angry that I can't get this done. I have researched extensively on the web and nobody can give me a straightforward and simple answer to fix my problem. That is why I had to write you as a last resort. Lmcnrva@yahoo.com
