I tried what you told me but it does not work. I went to Safari and saved all Bookmarks in a file on desktop. Then you are telling me to Import, while still on Safari, right? And import the same file that I saved on the desktop on to Safari again? How does it show up on Firefox then?

Hello antoncard, you have to export bookmarks from Safari(in a html file) and then import the bookmarks(the html file from safari) to firefox

Start Safari, at the top of the Safari window, click on the File menu and choose Export Bookmarks and select a place to put the file. then see Import Bookmarks from an HTML file, of course select the html file from safari.


thank you

We have seen reports that Safari is adding extras code in its HTML file that make the Firefox import wizard from rejecting it.

You can open the HTML file in a plain text editor like TextEdit and check if there are H3 tags that have a FOLDED attribute and remove the FOLDED text like I wrote above. If you have <DT><H3 FOLDED>Bookmarks Bar</H3> then change it to <DT><H3>Bookmarks Bar</H3>

Thank you but succeeded in transferring all my Safari Bookmarks in HTML using the suggestions on the Firefox site in the section 'Import Bookmarks.........from another browser' I have all the Safari bookmarks in folder now in Firefox. I wish to have no folder but it works.
