When importing logins and notes and URL from Chrome to Firefox, why the latter doesn't bring notes and read double URLs?

All of my notes are gone and if similar URLs are doubled.

Sharing one screenshot, since I cannot share another due to privacy (until a Mozilla dev team asks for it directly without sharing it on public platform).

I can't Import bookmarks from chrome, the option is missing. Everything else worked, and the option is not "hidden", when I clicked to import bookmarks were not imported.

Several Months ago I bought a new W11 HP laptop and successfully followed the following procedure provided by David to get my TB profile/data and all files and folders onto this new computer. Here is the link for moving a profile in Windows when installed in default location:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/moving-thunderbird-data-to-a-new-computer

here is the info in brief steps:

 1.  ensure thunderbird is NOT running on old machine
  2. enter %appdata% in search window on task bar and press Enter key
   3.this should open windows file explorer in Appdata\roaming folder
  4. highlight the Thunderbird folder and copy to external media
  5. ensure thunderbird is installed on second computer and NOT running
  6. enter %appdata% in search window on task bar and press Enter key
  7.you should be in Appdata\roaming folder , copy&paste the exported Thunderbird folder there. This may prompt to overwrite an existing folder of same name. allow it
  8. start Thunderbird and all should be there 

There were a few hiccups but it works great! I now want to make sure I am creating a back up copy to save on a flash drive just in case something happens. I followed steps 1-3 above and that should be my back up..RIGHT? I did that and saved it in a folder labeled TB back up Profile and a date. My old was was to just back up the TB profile folder alone but I think this one saves everything. (accounts, folders, Local etc. Have I done it right???

My bookmarks in Chrome do not import into Firefox. I've Tried importing right from the Chrome browser and importing with an HTML file. No success with my bookmarks. I was able to import an extension, but I deleted it as that isn't my focus. I've checked the HTML file and it does have content (viewed in NotePad). I've looked in all the Bookmark options, but nothing imported there. I paused my NordVPN, no change. I've rebooted my desktop nothing changed. I'm running the latest updated version of Win 11.

Please advise.

I have 3 computers and I want to make sure Thunderbird is synchronized on all 3. Yes, I have checked your forums for help. Here’s my configuration:

Main PC – used daily. Thunderbird has 4 email accounts. One is IMAP, the others are POP. Backup PC – Used only occasionally. files on this computer are synchronized with the Main PC about once per month. The email accounts are the same as the main computer. Laptop – Used only occasionally. files on this computer are synchronized with the Main PC about once per month. The email accounts are the same as the main computer.

I have read articles on how to move profiles, but I have not come across one that does what I want to do. Also, I am confused about whether filters can be duplicated on more than one computer. I have seen suggestions to just use IMAP (which might work for some, but not all, accounts), but that doesn’t address how to copy filters and keep them synchronized.

Here’s what I would like to do.

Step 1: Back up Main PC Step 2: Copy Thunderbird emails and filters from that backup to the Backup PC Step 3: Copy Thunderbird emails and filters from that backup to the Laptop.

When all steps are completed, I would expect that if I open Thunderbird on either the Backup PC or the Laptop that all messages, folders, and filers would be exactly like those on the Main PC.

Is this possible? If so, what must I do to ensure everything works as I would like?

Thanks, Alan

I want to transfer my saved bookmarks and collections from firefox to ironfox...ON THE SAME DEVICE.

How is this possible?

Hello I have Thunderbird on my Laptop. When I try to install it on my PC I got the message: server not found. I use the same parameters than the ones on my laptop. Can I synchronize these parameters on my PC? Regards Gabriel

I have exported my bookmarks from Brave, which are in HTML format. I cannot find where you can import them into Firefox, I am using the Android version.

I would also like to know where the private window is so I can use YouTube.
