I have been trying to transfer my Bookmarks from Firefox to Konqueror and am not having much luck. I have just loaded KDE onto Fedora 14 and am having quite a bit of fun going through all the different items in it . I would like to use Konqueror with all my previous Bookmarks in Firefox

View 4 Replies View RelatedI just recently figured out how to import bookmarks with FF4. Why did Mozilla see fit to Hide the "Organize Bookmarks" behind the "Show All Bookmarks" menu is beyond me?
Quote:
Click on "Bookmarks" ==> "Show all Bookmarks"
In the resulting dialog box click on: "Import and Backup"
Next, Click on "Import HTML"
In the resulting dialog box select the "From an HTML File" Radio Button
Now, navigate to the file that you saved previously, select that file and click on "Open".
A few seconds later all of your bookmarks will appear.

View 5 Replies View Relatedhow to import my FF 3.6.3 bookmarks into Epiphany 2.22.1.1 ? I tried the "Import from Firefox" feature but it doesn`t seem to work. Then I tried to import the FF bookmarks.html but Epiphany doesn`t recognize that one either.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a LOT of bookmarks collected in time in my Firefox Browser, but i have found that some of them are dead.
I was "googling" around and found that:
Code:
wget --spider --force-html -i bookmarks.html
Can check all the bookmarks if are online/offline, but where it saves the results?
So the question is: Someone knows an app to check my bookmarks online/offline state?
My firefox bookmark and history is not accessible, instead a message is shown at the top of firefox window. The message reads:
Browser Startup Error
The bookmarks and history system will not be functional because one of Firefox's files is in use by another application. Some security software can cause this problem. And it links to this mozilla page. How to find the error?
I am running Ubuntu 9.10 on my desktop computer which runs a Core 2 Duo at 3.2ghz and I have 2 gig of RAM. I have installed all the latest Ubuntu updates.
In Firefox, I have about 70 bookmarks in the bookmarks toolbar. Obviously the bar can't show 70 so most of them are in the dropdown section of the bar on the right. When I add a new bookmark, Firefox adds it to the end of the dropdown. Sometimes I want them to be closer to the top so I scroll down, click and drag it up closer to the top. In Firefox under Windows this works fine. However in Firefox under Ubuntu, as soon as I start to drag it up Firefox turns gray and Ubuntu totally locks up. Everything in Ubuntu freezes. The main bar at the top stays color, only Firefox turns gray. I tried clicking around but it's frozen. I tried pressing Esc, ctrl-alt-delete, and a number of other keys but noting will unfreeze Ubuntu. I have to physically turn off my computer and reboot.
So I was playing RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 in a WINE Virtual Desktop when I went to check my email. I launched Firefox and suddenly my bookmarks started to replicate and haven't stopped. I've recorded this happening. Link here: [URL]
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have had 2 people ask me about this lately so I thought I would try it. They want to take a bookmark for a site and put it on their desktop. Seems easy enough - just drag the bookmark to the desktop. It works in chrome but when I tried it on 2 different pc's I get the same error:
Error while copying
There was an error getting information about ""
Automount failed: DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.InvalidArgs: Mountpoint Already registered
I could just have them use chromium-browser I guess.
just loaded 10.04 to second hard drive and was wondering if i can copy my bookmarks to the new disk .
View 4 Replies View RelatedTip: Where you have Firefox in both windows and ubuntu it can be useful to synchronise the bookmarks across both browsers. Instead of using Firefox default bookmarks use zotero plugin. Create an account at [URL]Download and install the zotero firefox plugin in both browsers (windows and ubuntu) Use the zotero synchronise feature to sync between windows and ubuntu browsers.

View 5 Replies View RelatedMany years ago I was able to print a listing of bookmarks in Mozilla browser. I would like to do that again.
The problem is that I'm now using Firefox 3.6.12 and can't find anything in the menus to allow this. I've tried cut and paste from the organize bookmarks view but it doesn't work very well, loosing formatting.
method to obtain a printed listing?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a Dell studio 1745 laptop and a homemade desktop. The laptop dual boots Winblows 7 & openSUSE 11.2 x64. The desktop has openSUSE 11.1 & Winblows XP.
I'm using Firefox on all the OSs' and would like to be able to copy only part of the bookmarks file (not the .json file). I can edit the bookmarks.html file but have trouble finding section boundaries.
Could someone recommend an editor that can display and edit html? All I've used so far are text editors.
I have developed an audio problem; although continue to get sound with kaffeine and aamrok, firefox recently quit playing sound; no software updates were performed, it just quit. It has always been buggy, like audio would cut out if another program tried to play a sound and firefox and/or aamrok would have to be restarted. this is different though, it's nothing to do with a conflict it just doesn't work. It won't play sound from flash videos from the internet or locally but I can see the vids, and it won't play mp3's (these both will play fine with aamrok or kaffeine). It worked fine until all of a sudden, Also, konqueror is exhibiting the same behavior as firefox, and it too used to play sound just fine.
I have already used yast to update anything to do with "codec" "xine" "flash" and "firefox"
Don't even know where this error comes from, or why, but as the title says - bookmarks are in total lockdown. no error messagessimply no change when I add or delete or move bookmarks.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to disable the icons in the bookmarks tool bar? You know what I mean: my facebook bookmark always has this little F right next to it, the ..... bookmark has the red and white ..... icon, etc.
Those are pretty nice, but they don't really work within the theme that I am using (airlines).
To relax my eyes, I usually pick less colourful themes. So it'd be cool to get rid of all those obtrusive icons.
I know that some firefox themes don't have them. But I think I like the default one, just not the icons.
I have done a search there and I didn't find any discussion on this. My apologies if this has already been discussed. In which case, an admin can always close this thread, and redirect me.
Oh: this might be important: I am using Ubuntu 10.04. and firefox 3.6.3
I was running OpenSuse and realized that I hated it. I backed up my bookmarks to a USB flash drive, formatted and installed Ubuntu 10.04.
On entering Ubuntu, I stuck the USB flash drive in and realized that the bookmarks never got copied. I've lost them. I have to have those bookmarks. What would be the best way to get them back?
I just reinstalled my Firefox after a extension problem. Now it will not open my bookmark file I exported before the reinstall. It just goes to the folder above it, which is Ubuntu One. When I go back and try again, it freezes and makes it that I have to close the window and pull it back up again. How can I do this without issues?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI had MineField on (FF4 Pre-Release) and went for a long time with it bookmarking and everything... Today I thought I'd upgrade to FF4... and assumed that the bookmarks would be kept...
And they weren't... boo...
So is there a special file or anything where the minefield bookmarks are kept?
I have Firefox 3.6.13. I cannot manually rearrange bookmarks. The help file says to open the bookmarks in the sidebar and manually drag entries to the desired position. They do not drag. In times past, clicking on bookmarks/manage bookmarks opened a window where one could drag entries to desired locations. That no longer works as well. Short of editing the html file directly with emacs, how do I rearrange my bookmarks?

View 2 Replies View RelatedJust this Konqueror issue bothers me really bad. So decide to share it here and see if anyone has a better solution.
Java support is really poor in konqueror.
For example,
1. on webex.com and just try to join a test meeting. It never opens the meeting window however there is no error or any kind prompt.
2. facebook.com, if you try to upload a picture, you have to choose simple uploading tool in konqueror in order to do the job.
Why java can not be made work properly like in firefox and chrome? Is there any critical hurdle that I did not know?
My solution: use konqueror for normal browsing and switch to firefox or chrome for java sites. This bothers, right?
