Importing Firefox Settings

I was wondering how I Could import the settings and bookmarks from the Firefox I was using on Windows to the one I'm using on Arch. I know where the bookmarks are stored on Windows but not on Linux.

With bookmark manager ?

e.g.
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions … ks-596477/

I think it must be somewhere in the ~/.mozilla/firefox

Grep for it.

Re: Importing Firefox Settings

Bookmarks are easy to import between operating systems just by using organize bookmarks->import and backup and then saving as .json (Backup...). When you want to replace your current bookmarks with the ones saved in a file, just use restore->choose file...

Have a look at the Xmarks extension for firefox:

Maxa, I did that, but it didn't import all of the bookmarks. Only about half.

Re: Importing Firefox Settings

I use Firefox extensions FEBE. It cn save and restore your bookmarks, cookies, history, userame-passwd,extensions, addons,etc. everything acually.

Re: Importing Firefox Settings

You could just copy the Mozilla folder from appdata/roaming or whatever it is and rename it as .mozilla in your home dir.

Re: Importing Firefox Settings

I'd rather not lol...also it's odd. Looking at the bookmarks.html file, it's not copying half, but it seems like not all my bookmarks are there. Because looking at the list I know I have a lot more....
