I-Firefox Community Forum

i haven't used Firefox for a while but when i tried to import my bookmarks from Brave, they were imported but i cannot access them. i would have believed that Firefox would have either given me a 2nd listing or merged them into the ones i already have. am i to believe that this cannot be done? or am i overthinking this import thing?

I purchased a new computer and I saved all my bookmarks from my old computer, as directed in the instructions into a html file and put it on a flash drive. When I go thru the suggested process to import these files from the flash drive, they do not go into the main 'bookmarks toolbar folder in the bookmarks drop down, they install as a separate file in the last section at the bottom as a separate file. Every time I attempt to import the html file of old bookmarks, it goes in the 4th section of the bookmarks drop down as a new folder called ' bookmarks toolbar'. Example: if I import the html file 10 times I then have 10 new 'bookmarks toolbar' folders in the 4th section. As I had before... for several years... I want all my book marks in the drop down tab in the 3rd section (see attachment) 'bookmarks toolbar' which sits just above the 'other bookmarks' file... not in a folder below in the 4th section. Help...

Installed ff on new C drive and trying to import my profile from replaced, working drive. Got as far as pasting previous folder into new one and see new files were added. Both drives W10. But clicking bookmarks and passwords gets "nothing saved." Cannot decipher folder contents, & without details it's a dead end.

Likewise there is a page here on "importing bookmarks from another browser", with a link. It opens to window where you can look for the file. Same problem, not knowing where bookmarks are. Is there a place to find details on what profile folders and files store. Or am I missing something else? Thanks for assist. -- PS Images could be added if any purpose.

It seems that my main page settings aren't the same from one computer to the other. For instance, I use Roboforms password keeper and have an icon for it above the bookmark ribbon on one computer, but moving to the newer computer, that is missing. What am I doing wrong?

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

How is this possible?

I'm looking for help in transferring everything from Firefox to Chrome. If anyone knows how, because Google isn't being the best help at the moment. I have a Chromebook, so it's been tough trying to download Firefox. I'm looking for a way to move what I need onto the laptop without having to start from scratch and do things one by one, which is too many things. If anyone knows how, please don't hesitate to answer.
