Copying Firefox bookmarks to Seamonkey - Help! Sunday, March 14, 2010 7:09 PM

2010-03-14 Thread Max Winter
My Firefox bookmarks.html file does not contain MY
bookmarks, it only contains those bookmarks that came with Firefox, (same with 
the bookmarks backup file), so where are mine? I read on one Mozilla page they 
are in the places.sqlite file in the fdhyr8rq.default folder which is in 
the Firefox Profiles folder.

I also saw on another page that to copy bookmarks to Seamonkey from Firefox you 
use the Organize Bookmarks - Import and Backup - Export HTML command from 
Firefox and then import the bookmarks.html file to Seamonkey. All that does, 
as mentioned above, is give me the bookmarks that originally came with Firefox.

And as you no doubt know, you can't use the Export HTML command to export 
places.sqlite because it HAS to have an html extension. So, I tried 
deleting the places.sqlite file from Seamonkey and replacing it with a copy of 
the Firefox places.sqlite file. Didn't change a thing!

So, how do I export them to Seamonkey when the Export HTML function will only 
let me export an html file, which, as stated previously, does not actually 
contain the bookmarks I want to export? 

Shouldn't this be a simpler process if both Firefox and Seamonkey are from 
Mozilla? Is Mozilla TRYING to become as bad as Microsoft? (As much as I detest 
Microsoft at least their Favorites are easily exportable).

Help.

Try opening Firefox. Choose Organize Bookmarks, then Import and Backup, 
then Export HTML. Choose a location for the resulting file that will be 
easy to find.


Then use the resulting bookmarks.html to import into SeaMonkey. It's 
actually a pretty simple process.
