Import and Export your Bookmarks


We recently added two new features to the My Foxmarks website to make your bookmark data more portable.

import-export menu

First, we’ve added an export feature that lets you download a file containing your entire bookmark set. The file stores data in a standard HTML format and can be used to import your bookmarks into most browsers (Firefox, IE, and Safari are supported). If you use another website that needs your bookmark data, chances are that you can feed it this file.

export

Secondly, we’ve made it possible for you to import bookmarks from Delicious. Simply tell us the username to import from, and we will fetch the 100 most recent public bookmarks found in that Delicious account, and add them to a newly created folder in your bookmark set. You can use this feature to import your own Delicious bookmarks, or to import interesting public bookmarks that another Delicious user has made available.

delicious import

The 100 bookmark ceiling is a limitation of the Delicious API that we are using (one that does not require us to ask you for your Delicious password).

Foxmarks just rocks! It builds up my reputation! I already have a bunch of friends extremely thankful because I introduced them to Foxmarks!! Thank you!


Keep up the good work!


Thank you.
I have been wanting something like this for a while, and what do you know? You guys have the perfect thing for me.
So thanks, and just so you know -
I AM NOT WORTHY!!!


Hey support Team…

I have a question it is possible also to enter also a Password syncronisation. than it wer e perfect add-on.

all other stuff are perfect.


Hey Guys

I love this product, but I am thinking about switching to Flock. Are you guys going to mods for Flock?


I have more than 100 bookmarks with del.icio.us. I’d like to switch to Foxmarks, but I can’t do that unless it can import *all* of my del.icio.us bookmarks.


@Anonymous,

The best way to import all your bookmarks from del.icio.us is to first use their export feature to save all your bookmarks as a local file on your desktop. Then use your browser’s import feature to get the del.icio.us bookmarks into your browser.

At that point, normal Foxmarks synchronizations will take care of replicating those bookmarks to your other machines.

For this and other technical issues your questions would be answered in a more timely manner by emailing us directly: support@foxmarks.com.

cheers,
Patrick Corcoran


@Patrick Corcoran: I ended up doing exactly that. I just wanted to suggest that your del.icio.us synchronization would prove much more useful if it could handle more than 100 bookmarks.

By the way, have you ever considered publishing statistics? Number of Foxmarks users, total number of bookmarks, number of unique bookmarks, number of unique domains, average and standard devation of bookmarks per account, max bookmarks?


Can anyone tell me how I can import from Opera thousands of my bookmarks? Function “import” doesn’t work properly in Firefox as only 1-2 % of my bookmarks were moved from Opera into Firefox.
I tried several times but I failed


Downloaded foxmarks on Safari… it says it doesn’t have an application to open the file:

Safari can’t open the file “foxmarks_bookmark_synchronizer-2-1.1.0.12-fx.xpi†because no available application can open it.


@Alexander: Importing data from Opera to Firefox is entirely an operation within Firefox, and Foxmarks can’t really help you there. For more information on how to import the data, please consult the Mozilla knowledge base.

@steve: Foxmarks isn’t yet available for Safari.


When I try to import my a saved Foxmarks bookmarks.html file into IE it tells me that the file is not a valid bookmark file. I can’t use Firefox at work so I would like to import my bookmarks into IE. Does anyone know anything about this?


I have copied my bookmarks to Foxmarks and edited them. How do I download the edited bookmarks to another computer


@Larry: Your best bet is to check in with Mozilla and/or Microsoft for help with that.
