Do you mean importing an HTML bookmarks backup?

Try to click the continue button to see if it finishes the importing.

Do you know how many bookmark you have in this file?

Hi

Thanks for the replies. Sorry it's been a few days. I have had a few things to sort out with my new computer. The 'unresponsive script' message kept appearing repeatedly during the import process. After clicking 'stop script' about 6 times I gave up & abandoned the import process. Remember prior to each unresponsive script message Firefox would hang for 5-10mins. After half an hour I stopped the process & no bookmarks had been imported.

I didn't actually solve the problem but found a different solution by using Mozbackup to restore the profile instead of importing HTML's.

It should have worked though. I'd still like to know what was causing this..it might recur in the future. There are probably a couple of thousand bookmarks in the file (20 MB) but I am not aware of any size limitation.

Thanks again

It could be the file you were working on is corrupt.

Although Firefox is set up now, I'm going to try the import process again onto a a reinstall of Firefox on my old computer to see if the the problem recurs.

Although this isn't necessary now, I may need to import an HTML file in future

Same problem - always a chrome script - I don't even use Chrome sometimes it ends with different error #. I've tried importing from a backup & via HTML file same thing. Other question : if there are too many bookmarks ( from syncing I believe) how can I delete them from the HTML file? Thanks- FlaSunshine

Hi flasunshine

Firefox uses the "chrome://" protocol to access its own internal files and also access files from extensions (no relation with Google Chrome).

You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file (bookmarks, history) in the Firefox profile folder.
