Win 7 and Bookmarks

I bought a new computer with Win 7. My old computer was with XP. I use Firefox and had lots of bookmarks on the XP version. How can I export the bookmarks from my XP and import them to my Win 7 version of Firefox?:confused:

MozBackup allows you to transfer all (bookmarks, mail, contacts, history, extensions, passwords, cache etc.) of your FF settings.

I just transitioned to 7 and I don’t think its a Windows issue but a browser one. When I had Vista on this machine, I used Chrome and it had a bookmarks button. Now, upon installing 7, I reinstalled Chrome and there is no way to put a bookmarks button onto the address bar (I believe because its a later version that what I had).

The internet fix I found (right clicking “properties” on the Chrome desktop icon and adding --bookmark-menu after the .exe in the file name) doesn’t work for me.

It bums me out. I don’t like the extra toolbar hogging precious screen real estate that has buttons for my “most visited” sites…I want a button with a drop-down menu like I used to have, dammit!

Anyone know how (for Chrome)?

Check out the Neat Bookmarks extension.

Oh, God bless you, this is exactly what I wanted! Thanks!
:slight_smile:

I think I made a little mistake. I imported them twice, so now I have 2 lists of my bookmarks. How can I uninstall half of the list?:smack:

Maybe sort them by date and delete the second batch?

Delete them all, and import again, only once this time. :smiley:

Yay, the thread I wanted!

My hard drive crashed, so I put in a new one and re-installed windows. I can still read the old hard drive, but not boot from it.

  1. Windows repair on the old drive would be nice to know how to do.
  2. In the meantime, I don’t even know how to find the bookmarks on the old drive. In which file are they?

Thanks, 'dope!

I can only delete them one item at a time. So, that is what I am going to do. I do have a lot of bookmarks to delete.:mad:

Well, I finished deleting all of the 2nd set of bookmarks, one at a time.:eek:
