Thanks Gav

Using FF 3.5 and your suggestion did the trick.

Thanks to all who replied.

A bit more info on this...

Here is a good doc on exporting/importing bookmarks

http://mozilla.gunnars.net/firefox_bookmarks_tutorial.html

Also a 'cant live without' firefox addon to sync your bookmarks with any
pc on any browser (well the main 4 anyway)

Hi Frank

You should be able to copy them from the "old" machine to the new one
from
the following location:-

Macintosh HD/Users/yourname/Library/Application Support/

In there will be a folder called Firefox.

Copy this Firefox folder from the "old" machine to the same location on
the
new machine.

This should then get Firefox to work with you with the same bookmarks
etc.

If the above doesn't work, you may also need the preference file from
this
location:-
Macintosh HD/Users/yourname/Library/Preferences.

Hope that helps.

Kind Regards
Daniel

Re: Firefox Bookmarks

2009-11-19 Thread Gavin Criddle 

Hi Frank,

Depending on what version of Firefox you're using, they can be stored in a few 
locations:

FF 3.0 and below should be user profile > Library > Application Support > 
Firefox > 
Profiles > Profile Name > bookmarks.html

FF 3.5 - the file should be in the same location but it will be called 
places.sqllite

Hello All

Can anyone please tell me how I can import the Firefox Bookmarks from one
Macbook Pro to another Macbook Pro.

I used Migration assistant to transfer everything across but the bookmarks
did not work.

The original machine is running Leopard and the new one is on Snow leopard.
Safari synced trough Mobileme but I would also like Firefox because of some
other different bookmarks in it.

Did a Spotlight search but no luck.

Hi Chris,

The bookmarks show as a blank white icon, but they are the web links.
If you click on them they open the web page & the icon changes to that  
website's icon.


Have a look under View > Sidebar - Bookmarks ... then click once on  
one of the blank white icons, it will open the website page and you  
will notice the icon changes.


Cheers,
Ronni

HI Bill and Ronni

Thanks for your suggestions re the bookmarks.

I have an unusual situation with Firefox 3.0.3 bookmarks where most,  
but not all, of the little icons associated with each bookmark do  
not have anything in them ie they are just an empty white icon?


Do you have any idea how the icons can be made visible, or is it  
something to do with the site to which the url belongs?

Firefox works without a problem.

Hi Brian,

Do you have any third party plugins installed that might be  
incompatible?
Safari Enhancer (which only works with Safari 2). Asking Safari  
Enhancer to restore default settings will allow Safari 3 to launch.


If you have other third party add ons.
Try moving this file onto your Desktop and retrying:

Hard drive -> /Library/InputManagers/SIMBL/

That location applies to all user accounts and is often the cause  
of crashes with Safari 3 (it's a third party tool used by some  
developers to add extra functionality to Apple applications)


Input Managers and other plug-ins from third parties can do as much  
harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your  
applications' code and change that code as the application starts  
up. If you have installed 10.4.11 and Safari is crashing, the very  
first thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in  
your own Library and in the top-level Library), log out and log  
back in, and try again.


Tiger 10.4.11 uses Safari 3.0.4.


Welcome back Safari!

I removed /Library/InputManagers/SIMBL rebooted and now have Safari  
working.


Now to get the build up of months of bookmarks from Firefox into  
Safari.


Thanks Ronni

Brian

Hi John,

As far as I know Safari will not sort Bookmarks alphabetically, it  
never has.
Safari Sorter was great & free in OSX10.3.9 Panther  but not  
available for OSX10.4 Tiger.


Bookdog is great & will do what you want, but it's not free.
Bookdog is the world's premier shepherd and guardian of your  
bookmarks for the world's premier operating system, Mac OS X.   
Bookdog can sort, organize, eliminate duplicates, automatically  
verify and migrate bookmarks between Safari, Camino, Firefox, OmniWeb  
and Opera.
