OpenSUSE :: Import Firefox Bookmarks Into Epiphany?
May 15, 2010
how 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.
I 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.
how I'd go about copying all my FTP and Directory bookmarks from my main PC to my laptop?I'm assuming it's just as simple as copying a file list from somewhere, as root (Alt F2) but not sure where to look.
I have had nothing but trouble, and - judging from the extent of your forums - it looks like I'm not the only one.If this system is so great, why do so many people have so much trouble?
1). How do I import my Contacts, especially if Ubuntu's email program says it can't find my old Outlook? 2) How do I import my bookmarks, again, if Ubuntu's version of Firefox says it can't find any other browser? 3) If I go ahead and install this thing, and then decide it is too much hassle, how hard is it going to be to uninstall it?
I don't mean to be contentious here, but I really don't want to get into something that is only going to substitute one frustration for another, either.
After several site:centos.org searches on Google and not finding anything remotely related to this question, I ask, how do I update Firefox 3.0 to Firefox 3.5 without losing any of my settings, history, bookmarks ,etc.?
Normally, I use Opera and never have these problems, but in FireFox and Epiphany, I cannot see most of the text unless I select it.
Here is an example: [url] [url]
I tried plying around with Preferences/Appearances but everything seems to be ok there. Also, if in FireFox I choose 'Use System colours' everything looks ghastly.
How do I set up rc6 or whatever, so that I get a clean shutdown forFireFox and Epiphany?ireFox is started by my session manager and I often use Epiphany -b asa specialized bookmark editor on my panel. Whenever I login to start anew session FireFox and Epiphany gives a standard warning/option ofrestoring my previous session want to eliminate those warnings without having to specifically close those programs before logging out.Regards BilFedora 10, Gnome 2.24.3Evo.2.24.5, Emacs 22.3.1
I have some strange problem with rendering monospace fonts in FF and Epiphany. There is some attached example - most pages with some code blocks look like it, it is not possible to see the text, even after selecting it. I tried to change settings in FF of fonts, tried to change size, colors, font, but still it is not visible at all no matter what. However pages like that are displayed fine in "Chromium". Does anyone have an idea where do I begin solving this?
I have just installed Natty and I need to move my Bookmarks from old laptop with Karmic9.10 To new install. Where are the bookmarks or how can I install them I have got the backup file "json" format but I cant find where to put it or how to install it.
I updated Firefox 4 beta to the latest version, and now all my bookmarks are gone. Thanks to x-marks and other means I have backups, but I'm not able to restore them to the updated browser.
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
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]
I 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.
Tip: 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.
Many 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.
I 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 did not find any easy way to update firefox by googling so I am asking here. But Is there an easy way to update firefox to firefox 3.6 retaining all plugins, bookmarks etc. I am using fedora 12.
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.
Is 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?
I set up all my icons on the bookmarks toolbar, but after restarting all the icons are the same one. i.e. I have 10 reddit bookmarks and no gmail,ubuntu etc. Only happens on this machine, not my work machine that has ubuntu10.10 as well.
How can i save firefox bookmarks to my desktop for a shortcut? I tried to drag and drop from the bookmarks menu and i get a error message. Im running ver 10.10 ubuntu.
I 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?
