Firefox and Ubuntu, importing bookmarks

[SongHyeonDeok]

Is it just me or is there no way at all to import bookmarks into Firefox in Ubuntu.

I've been using Ubuntu for a year and I've always assumed Mozilla just haven't developed the functionality for Ubuntu yet.

It's seems like a bizzare thing not to include into Firefox on Ubuntu?

Unless they're just trying to force me to use Sync?

You can import bookmarks in firefox in ubuntu the same way you do in windows or mac...

Go to bookmarks> show all bookmarks > Import and backup > and click restore to import firefox bookmarks (.json file), or import to import html bookmarks.

Thanks for posting Viper, on Ubuntu 12.04 in Firefox I don't have those three tabs that you do in the bookmarks manager; "Organize", "Views" and "Import and Backup".

I assume your using Unity, go to the panel at the top of the screen, all the menus are there, not on the bookmark window.

Good luck.

OMG thanks a lot.

Can't believe I've not been able to find this lmao.

A little off, but on-topic combination...

Maybe not fully recommended as well: if you're dual booting Windows and Ubuntu, then you can share the same Firefox profiles (i.e. bookmarks, history, add-ons etc.) between Windows and Ubuntu.

I do this for both Firefox and Thunderbird and it is pretty cool.

Only few problems I have are: some extensions are specific to an OS and secondly, I have to manually update Thunderbird and Firefox on Windows to the latest version before launching either to prevent profile corruption.
