locked Exporting bookmarks to a file?
|
MAX <max@...>
I have been admonished to ask before complaining. So here goes. Is there
any way to export bookmarks to an html file in Firefox? This is possible in internet explorer and I have gotten in the habit of using it. I have the latest versions of windows 10 and Firefox. 73 (Regards). Max. K 4 O DS. I've Never Lost the Wonder. Email: max@...

Press ctrl shift b to show all bookmarks.

Press ctrl a to select all. Press alt i, then return to choose backup. Pick a filename, a folder to save, & you're golden.

Hit ALT+I,E, a few seconds after which an Export Bookmarks to a File dialog appears allowing you to name the file, if you want other than bookmarks.html, and to navigate to wherever you wish to save it. This method exports all your bookmarks, with their folder hierarchy preserved, for backup or import into another web browser. -- Brian - Windows 10 Home, 64-Bit, Version 1809, Build 17763 A great deal of intelligence can be invested in ignorance when the need for illusion is deep. ~ Saul Bellow, To Jerusalem and Back

I'll answer your question below. But first,
I'll make this comment:
I didn't admonish you. You are referring to
my messages in which I said that if you ask before assuming something can't be
done, you may save yourself a good deal of time and trouble. You may also
find that you can use programs you didn't think you could. Admonish means
to warn, as in there will be punishment if you don't do something. I
didn't do that.
As for the answer to your question, do the
following:
In Firefox, use the command control shift b to open
the all bookmarks window. You will hear that you are in the
library.
Open the menus with alt. They are different
menus than in the main part of the program.
Right arrow to import and backup.
Down arrow until you get to export bookmarks as
html. Press enter and follow the wizard. It is similar to exporting
book marks in Internet Explorer.
After you finish exporting, if you want to return
to the main program, close the window with alt f4. You opened a second
window when you used control shift b. Ask if you have
problems.

Gene, To admonish means to warn or to reprimand firmly. This most recent message definitely sounds like a reprimand to me and it's not the first message you've written where you have displayed a patronizing, condescending tone. When people tell you this you insist
that you are right and that they are wrong and not seeing things clearly or that, in this case, they're not defining terms based on your own dictionary definition. No doubt you will be tempted to spend the next five or ten minutes firing off a response indicating
why I, in fact, am wrong and why you are totally justified in your behavior. Please don't bother because I won't read it. Mailing lists should be a safe haven for people to ask any question they might have and know that they will receive a charitable response.
At times you give mailing lists like this a bad name and I'm frankly sick of it. When someone asks a question it doesn't matter what they may or may not assume. If they knew everything they wouldn't be asking questions on this list. Why not use your knowledge
to just provide a charitable response rather than reprimanding and chastising them.

I'm sorry, but do you remember the previous
correspondence? I didn't admonish in the first two messages. I said
that if you ask and don't assume that something can't be done, you may save
yourself a lot of problems. I said this twice because the first time I did
so, Max misunderstood my intent and said something about my tone and I
explained what I said in my second message and the intent. I wasn't the
least bit critical. I said it because Max made many statements about what
Firefox can't do and I was making the point that people shouldn't assume that
something can't be done if they can't figure out how to do it.
This message, the third, stated a fact. I
didn't admonish in the first or second message. I again explained what I
said and why it wasn't an admonishment.
If you disagree, you may discuss your disagreement
further. if you want to suggest how I might have written it, I'll consider
your example.

Mature? You attack me vitriolically on list,
you don't even bother to write with your vitriol off list to the owner's

of fairness? I think not. If you can be civil and read my response
and reply, fine. But it appears that you did exactly what you accuse me of
doing. Not even being willing to consider what I have to say. You
made up your mind and that's it. If you attack me on list, I'll respond
because I want to answer what you say because who knows how many others read
your vicious attack. But I won't respond for you since you won't read my

Its clear that you only want to attack, not have any

you. I don't hold grudges and if someone attacks me and then wants to

And for the record, here is an excerpt of my second
message. Those who read it can determine if there is anything
objectionable. Those who wish to comment or discuss the matter further may
write to me at
gsasner@... or at the owner's address
in every message footer.
Here is the brief excerpt:
I'm sorry you misinterpreted my comment. I'm
saying that you assumed you couldn't manage book marks. Instead of
assuming, if you ask here or use some sort of documentation or instructional
material, you will save yourself time and trouble, perhaps a lot.

You just can’t let it go can you? There are two or three names which generate most of the traffic on this list which might be fine except that so often the noise does nothing to advance the topics or contribute understanding. I understand why it can be difficult not to take things personally but sometimes it is much better to take the high road and just let it go. I will risk flaming by further suggesting to the list at large that it is not necessary to shoot off several messages on the same subject for every subject. Why for example do so many people care just which voice one uses. I had home made meat pie for supper. So what?It does not contribute to the use of or understanding of the functions of NVDA. If Microsoft doesn’t want you to use Internet Explorer then don’t use it or continue at your own risk. How many messages do we need. Yes and I do know how to use the delete function but I am not sure I want to become tangled up in NVDA if this is the standard of assistance... Good night. Dale Leavens

First, I wasn't writing as a moderator.
Second, I didn't ask to be list moderator. I was asked. Third, if
you can see anything I've done in my moderation activities that warrants
removal, fine. Take it up with the owner instead of publicly on the
list.
And last, no one can like or get along with
everyone. If you doh't like me, that's too bad. But whether you like
me or not has nothing to do with whether I should continue to serve as
moderator. And if I am removed, I'll still be a list member, annoying you
in the same ways.

You are not saying that because of anything I've
done as a moderator. You are saying that because you don't like me
personally. If you can make a case for not liking me personally
translating into me not serving as moderator, I'd be very curious to
hear.
What you really want is for me to not be on the
list any longer. You have no basis to complain about me as a moderator
because I do almost no moderation. The list needs almost none.
I didn't ask to be moderator. I was asked. I
can relinquish being a moderator just as I assumed the responsibilities when I
was asked. My ego isn't involved in being a moderator. If some way
for list members to vote on the question is arranged by the owner and if enough
people want me to leave, fine. I am serving as moderator to do something
to serve the community, as I was asked to do. If the community doesn't
want that service, fine. But I will still be a member of the list annoying
you as usual because I almost never do anything as a moderator because the list
almost entirely runs itself. Gene

Agreed a thousand percent with brian. If this were my list you would have already ben band not just as mod, but as list member, as mod for good, and as list member for at least a week to start off with, then higher bans the more the offending behavior continues up to and including indefinite termination. Oh and my 3 strikes rule, you would have violated that, about 2 years or so ago. Take care

As I explain later in this message, I won't answer
individual messages after this one, but I think this message deserves a
response.
You have disliked me irrationally for a long
time. I am civil to you and you always attack me and start debates
first. You have made charges about my conduct. You know how to look
through the archives. Shhow me examples, quotes of anything I've done that
is as you describe, And isn't it interesting how you do exactly what you accuse
me of. It wasn't too long ago that you accused me of scolding list
members, which I do not accept. What did you do a day or two ago?
You wrote a message harshly criticizing, let's say the s word, scolding a list
member and any list members in general who continue to use Internet
Explorer. Physician, heal thyself. And, if you are going to make
wild charges, back them up. I'm tired of seeing charges from you and when
I ask you to back them up, silence is the result. Either back up what you
say or don't say it.
I don't want to get into a dragged out discussion about me
on the list. I answered your message because it so outrageous. But I
will now let people say what they want and not comment much. I may have
another comment after things continue for a day or two, but I won't respond to
individual messages. its time for those who have an opinion to speak if
they wish. But it isn't the time for me to respond again until I see what
people have to say.

You will not take any constructive criticism and always insist on lashing out, in the most ugly way and at great length, at anyone who dares offer any.
