Importing Bookmarks from IE to Firefox. - Windows - Whirlpool

Firefox is a commonly used browser with many extensions. Compared with ie, it has many advantages, but some minor aspects seem to be poorly considered. For example, users often encounter problems such as system reinstallation, which requires importing and exporting cookies and folders of Firefox browser. Unfortunately, Firefox only provides the function of importing cookies and favorites of ie by default, After some attempts, I found a way to manually import and export Firefox cookies and favorites here.Cookies:“Firefox: profiles” and “my folder” are selected first, and then “Firefox: profiles” and “my folder” are selected, and then “my folder” is selected at the end, and “my folder” is displayed at random. After entering this directory, find cookies Txt and bookmarks HTML two files, which are cookies and favorites files. Copy these two files to a similar directory on another machine and overwrite the files with the same name to complete the export and import of cookies and favorites of Firefox. Bookmark:In addition, Firefox favorites (bookmarks) can also be exported directly through menu options. The specific method is to open Firefox, click “bookmark – > bookmark management” to start the bookmark manager, and click “file – > export” to back up the existing bookmarks. On another machine, use the “import” function of bookmarks to import the backup bookmarks into the configuration of the new Firefox. The last method is to use the Firefox plug-in. If you feel you trust Google, you can install the Google Browser Sync plug-in developed by Google. You can save your Firefox settings such as bookmarks, history, saved passwords and cookies into your own Google account. You can use your Google account to log in and synchronize the contents of the browser on another machine. Of course, please do not use this plug-in in unsafe places such as Internet cafes, otherwise it will bring great security problems.

Microsoft Edge is the new default web browser in Windows 10 operating system. Its elegant user interface, ability to save and manage web passwords, ability to make notes on webpages, reading view, reading list, and the page loading speed make it one of the best web browsers around.For all these years if you were using Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox or Microsoft’s own Internet Explorer as your default web browser and now planning to use Microsoft Edge as your default browser, you might want to know if it’s possible to import bookmarks (also known as favorites) from other browsers like Chrome and Firefox into Microsoft Edge.Just like any other web browser out there for Windows, the Edge browser also supports importing bookmarks or favorites into it. While it doesn’t support importing bookmarks from a file, you can import bookmarks from Chrome, Firefox, or Internet Explorer installation.In simple words, unlike Firefox or Chrome, it doesn’t support importing bookmarks from an HTML file, but it can import bookmarks from Firefox or Chrome browser installation. That said, there is an easy workaround to overcome this problem as well.To import bookmarks in the Edge browser, complete the given below instructions.Method 1: Import bookmarks from another browserMethod 2: Import bookmarks from an HTML fileMethod 1 of 2Import bookmarks into Edge from another browserNOTE: Importing bookmarks/favorites from another browser also imports browsing history, cookies, passwords, and settings into the Edge browser. There is no option out there to select only favorites/bookmarks while importing from a web browser.

Last edited by admin For the moment, the Bookmark Importer is made for importing only bookmarks in Opera Presto (the old Opera) (latest version of it is Opera 12.17). Now We are currently at Opera 22. My understanding is that Opera is working on making the Bookmarks Importer work with 3rd Party Browsers, like Firefox. I know it was initially being worked on for Opera 23, but at this point, I don't know whether that will be implemented in Opera 23 or later.So, the only way to get Firefox bookmarks into Opera at this moment is to piggyback on Opera 12.17 -- that is, get the Firefox bookmarks into that browser, and then to use the Bookmarks importer in Opera 22. If you're going to do that, I would suggest completely uninstalling Opera 22, and then installing Opera 12.17 first. Once using Opera 12.17, click on File, Import and Export, and then, Import Firefox Bookmarks. After you import Firefox Bookmarks into Opera 12.17, then re-install Opera 22. Hopefully at that point the Bookmarks Importer will not be greyed out. Because the Importer has been on occasion a bit tempermental, here's a thread that gives suggestions. Leocg's comment in the thread is important, and it is based on that comment that I suggest completely uninstalling Opera 22 first, and then installing Opera 12.17 (to accomplish the importing of bookmarks from Firefox). in Opera 22 (after the reinstallation), remember to activate the Personal Bookmarks Bar. Go Ctrl P (settings), and put a check in Show the Bookmarks Bar. And of course, click on the Opera Menu, More Tools, and the Bookmarks Importer.
