Exporting bookmarks from Firefox
« on: November 01, 2010, 10:31:06 AM »
So I'd like to export my bookmarks from Firefox and import them into Safari.  sos.gif

I can't get thru the export phase in Firefox. When I invoke Help, I get help on all things Apple, but none on Firefox.

And I don't see anything on the Firefox menus that gives me a hint.

Anybody out there got a solution?

P.S. This message written in Firefox 3.6.11, all things seem to be working ok now on the TS site. Thanks to help from Paddy and Krissel.

Jack, you have to click and hold on the Help menu, and then select "Firefox Help" from the drop down. Otherwise you just get Mac OS help.

And for instructions on exporting FF Bookmarks to Safari:
