[SOLVED] How do you import "bookmarks" from Firefox to SeaMonkey ?

terrawarra · 08-31-2007, 04:10 AM

G'day fellow TSF members,.. it's been a while since I last posted a question on the Forum, this one isn't all that important but It's bugging me.
I recently installed "SeaMonkey" browser just to try it out,.. sure it doesn't have all the bells & whistles that my beloved "Firefox" has, but it's a mustard cutter with speed which is what my aging PC is longing for. I still use Firefox with all those yummy add-ons but sometimes feel the need for speed which is what I get with SeaMonkey.
I just can't figure out how SeaMonkey, (from the Mozilla stables), will automatically import all bookmarks from Internet Explorer to SeaMonkey but NOT from its blood brother, Firefox.
I've tried all known methods to manually import bookmarks from Firefox to SeaMonkey but to no avail. Can anybody help ?

To import bookmarks from FireFox to SeaMonkey perform the following:

open FireFox
click Bookmarks
click Organize BookMarks
click File
Export
save the Bookmarks file somewhere that you will remember

Then

open SeaMonkey
click Bookmarks
click Manage BookMarks
click Tools
Import
navigate to where you saved FireFox's Bookmarks, then click open

Your Bookmarks should now be imported over to SeaMonkey
