How do i export my Firefox bookmarks to safari on my mac?

I have been using firefox for a few years on my PC. I would like to sync all my firefox bookmarks on my PC to safari on my mac. How do i do this?

Michelle answers:

Firefox apparently hid their Bookmark Import/Export options too well. I found this directions to export bookmarks from Firefox
http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/export-firefox-bookmarks-to-backup-or-transfer?redirectlocale=en-US&redirectslug=Exporting+bookmarks+to+an+HTML+file

I have Firefox 14.0.1 installed on my MBP, and my update to Step 2 of the directions is to click the rightmost icon at top-left (looks like a star with a square containing a lighting bolt in front) and the drop down shows “Export Bookmarks to HTLM”.

In Safari use FILE>Import Bookmarks, then select the html file you saved.

How to get Mozilla firefox in the the quick start bar?

I want the mozilla firefox icon to be placed in the quick start bar( i think that;s what it’s called). I’m talking about the bottom left of the screen. I want it there. thanks!

Michelle answers:

If you want to get it there, you would most likely want to find the .exe file of Firefox and put it there, not a shortcut because a shortcut takes a minimal amount of space, which doesn’t sound like much taken space, but it can clutter your desktop with a lot of stuff you have on it. If you have a shortcut put in the quick start bar and you delete the shortcut because you feel like it’s taking space on it, then the shortcut of the shortcut will be broken and you won’t be able to use it anymore. Using the .exe files make it organized from having your desktop cluttered with a lot of stuff on it like other shortcuts or documents and folders.

How do I change my default internet browser from Internet Explorer to Mozilla Firefox?

I already have Mozilla Firefox downloaded and installed. I want it to go to it every time a browser is opened.

Michelle answers:

In Firefox,
Click on Tools at the top,
Then Options,
Then on Advanced in the top right of the window that pops up.
Then click on Check Now near the bottom of that window.

It will ask if you want to set it as default.
Choose yes.

That should do it.

How to clear Mozilla firefox and google history automatically?

How to make firefox and google history erase automatically. I know how to do it manually, but sometimes it is so annoying Thanks.

Michelle answers:

To remove the history automatically just check the option:
“Always clear my private data when I close Firefox”
from Firefox Mozilla->Tools->Option->Privacy tab
and then history will be automatically clear whenever you close the firefox and here you can also select what you want to remove automatically like: password, temp files, search items etc

All the best 🙂
