Is it possible to get Firefox bookmarks from a non working computer?
My Windows laptop doesn’t work because the laptop charger Ac Adapter totally messed up the plug hole. Anyway, I have a lot of bookmarks saved in Firefox. So I was wondering if there is anyway what so ever I can get them without fixing the computer.
Michelle answers:
Remove the Hard Drive from the laptop, open your computer and plug the energy and data cables (it’s easy, c’mon). After it, you’ll see another HD on Computer Folder, open it and go the directory: X:Program FilesMozilla Firefoxdefaultsprofile (X is the letter of the Hard Drive), and copy the file “bookmarks.html” and paste it onto your computer folder.
C ya!

How do I stop firefox from opening many new tabs when I start firefox.?
Every time I open firefox, The “welcome to firefox“, “welcome to foxy tunes!”, “Welcome to coolaris!”, pages come up. I’ve gone into Tools>Options>Main>Startup. But that had no effect whatsoever
help please
Michelle answers:
You probably have multiple home pages setup. Make the startup look like this:

Make about:blank your homepage.
I only get one blank tab when I start firefox.

I’m sorry I don’t have an answer for you, and since no-one else seems to either, why don’t you post your question at the Mozilla Forums ?

How do you copy internet explorer favorites to firefox bookmarks?
So my company told us to start using firefox bc internet explorer posed a threat to our security or something so i need all of my favorites. How would i move them to firefox‘s bookmarks???
Thanks for helpin
Michelle answers:
Internet explorer is indeed a threat and I’m glad they made you do that. Go to:
File>Import>Microsoft Internet Explorer>and check bookmarks.
When you open firefox, press bookmarks and there should be a folder labeled “From Internet Explorer”.
I recommend bookmarks>organize bookmarks and copying the contents of that folder into the main file. Much easier.
One last tip, to get bookmarks in the sidebar like Internet Explorer does, go to view>sidebar>bookmarks or control-B.
Good luck and enjoy firefox. You will find it is much faster and more modern.
Tip: to customize firefox, go to the below link and get extentions. Not necessary but nice when you want to do other stuff without switching programs.
