I want to import bookmarks from my safari browser. My old firefox was corrupted from an "add on" Trusteer thing required by my on-line banking thing. IBM says that it now has revised its TRUSTEER thing and that I can re-install it. But now Firefox does not seem to have re-installed correctly or fully. What to do?

In the Bookmarks Manager (Library) there is a toolbar with the Back and Forward button and three other buttons (Organize, Views, Import & Backup).

  • The first (gear) button is the Organize button with basic edit menu items for bookmarks
  • The second button is the Views button that allows to change the sort order for viewing purposes (doesn't sort permanently).
  • The third (star) button is the Import & Backup button that allows to backup and restore a JSON backup and import and export an HTML backup and import bookmarks from other browsers.

Hover each button to see the tooltip or click each of them to see what they do.

You can find "Import Data from Another Browser" in the Bookmarks Manager (Library)
