I want to import my bookmarks from Yahoo to Firefox.

Yahoo is doing maintenance on its "bookmark" page until October. Until then nothing new can be added, saved, moved, altered, etc. A few days of this would be okay. However, waiting until the end of October is unacceptable. Is there a simple, foolproof way I can import all my bookmarks from Yahoo into Firefox or is that not doable at this time?

There is a step-by-step procedure at the eHow link below. I do not use Yahoo Bookmarks, so I do not know if this works, but you can try.

  • IMPORTANT:
    • You might want to name the the file created in step 5 to "YahooBookmarks.html" instead of "bookmarks.htm" to distinguish it from other bookmark files on your hard drive
    • And put the file in a place/folder easy for you to find and remember
    • The imported Bookmarks will be inter-mingled with your existing Firefox Bookmarks and will be indistinguishable from your existing Firefox Bookmarks

You may also want to backup your Firefox Bookmarks before doing the above, just in case something goes wrong:
