I had save the "jason" file from my old harddrive that contains the bookmarks from firefox. I have been using my new HD for awhile now and have a new list of bookmarks. Id like to get some of the bookmarks that ive saved from the other drive.
My question is this. Ive got the bookmarks saved on a thumbdrive, if move the file to the proper folder with the other bookmarks, will it over-ride and wipe out what ive already got or will it simply add to the existing list? |

That doesnt answer my question. I already know where the file is and how to put it on my computer. The bookmarks are on a file, called the "jason" file. That file is on a thumbdrive. All I have to do is put that file in the Firefox folder, my question was whether that file will over-ride my existing bookmarks |

Yes it will over write your current file. To combine the two export your current favorites to html (Bookmarks -> Organize Bookmarks -> Import & Backup -> Export HTML) save this file in folder1 on your desktop. Now go ahead and swap out your JSON files. (Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Restore > Choose File) Now import the contents of folder1 back into firefox (Bookmarks -> Organize Bookmarks -> Import & Backup -> Import HTML) You may need to delete any duplicate bookmarks. It may be the long way around but it works. |
