Applications :: Firefox 3.5 Bookmarks Search - Real Location
Oct 26, 2009
I have Firefox 3.5.3 running on PowerPc iMac with OS 10.4.11. When I search for a bookmark in "Organize Bookmarks" window, the found bookmark shows as 'location" the web address. However, it does not show the location of this bookmark in my bookmark tree. So I really can not find where this bookmark is located which was my problem in the first place. If this bookmark was misplaced in one of the folders I can not find it to move to the right spot. Is there any way to find the real location of this bookmark with the search and in any other way?
Is Firefox crashing frequently for anyone else? I'm running 3.6 and it is crashing on me almost every day, and every time it is just after I start typing in the address bar or the search bar.
I can't right click my bookmarks, especially RSS feeds that appear as a drop-down menu (on the toolbar). I tried to right click on one RSS feed so I can open it in a new tab but there's no right click menu.
I made a clone of my HDD before doing a clean install of the 10.6.3. I am trying to locate the bookmarks.html in the cloned HDD to restore the bookmarks to Firefox, but no luck. Does anyone know where exactly the bookmarks are stored for firefox?
I just bought a macbook and wanted to copy over all my firefox settings. I found this site http://www.10voltmedia.com/blog/2008...ith-mozbackup/ which explains how. I did most of the steps like using mozbackup and making it's exported files into a zip but when it came to replacing the folder they said on the mac I can't seem to find a firefox folder. Even the mozilla folder I found doesn't have anything in. I tried finding it by doing a search for the addons I have installed into firefox thinking I might locate it that way but no luck. Another webpage said I could find the location of the folder through fiefox itself but the way it told me also didn't seem to exist on my mac. How can I find my firefox folder?
I just updated my mozilla firefox to the new version and it deleted all of my bookmarks. I didn't think it was a big deal because I could just re add them. When I restarted the application after re adding all of them they just deleted again. I deleted firefox and re downloaded it but it still keeps deleting my bookmarks when I restart it.
I sync my Safari bookmarks between machines via MobileMe. Works pretty well. But I was wondering - is there a way I can make FireFox use my Safari bookmarks, so that they benefit from the sync as well?
I recently had to erase my HDD, and I was wondering how to import my firefox bookmarks from my external HDD. I have my HDD backed up onto a external hard-drive. I needed help finding the bookmark Files and import them into FireFox.
How do I know WHERE the files are located when I search via Spotlight? I search but do not always wish to click file or application to open .. I just want to know its location. Snow Leopard showed me the path so where is that information in Lion's spotlight?
like many others I've been using FireFox the past year, but now I want to migrate back to Safari 4. With all my bookmarks that are now in Firefox, of course! Safari 4 has got an import feature. But what kind of file does it want? In any case I haven't a clue how to export my bookmarks from FireFox into any particular file. Do you?
The only thing I could think of to do was go into FF's Bookmarks edit mode and copy/paste the bookmarks menu into an .rtf and an .html file. But that bombed: Safari 4's import wanted neither.
How do I backup my bookmarks from Firefox on my desktop gaming pc? I want to be able to transfer them to Firefox on OSX, and then bootcamp with XP Pro 64bit to. I just don't know how to save them, I know how to in IE though. Have to find a hidden folder? Last time I reformatted, I saved the entire firefox folder. But that didn't help when I reformatted, so that let me to thinking it was a hidden folder.
Newbie question here, is there anyway that I pages I bookmark in Safari can be also bookmarked in Firefox on the same mac? Or is there an easy way to transfer/synch them? At times I use Safari and at other times I use FF.
I'm using Firefox 3 with Mac OSX Leopard. Whenever I bookmark a page, the correct information is in the proper forms. When I click on a bookmark, however, it redirects me to a random page taken from my recent activity. How do I keep the bookmarks from changing once I create them?
My existing Firefox software is corrupt and I am unable to get my bookmarks from my Time Machine. I either need to find out how to get them out of my Time Machine or import them into Safari.
