Safari 1.3.2 importing bookmarks from Fire Fox

Hi Mark,

There is an import function in the 1.3 version of Safari, but it's hidden by default. To enable it, quit Safari, and then type this into the terminal:

defaults write com.apple.safari IncludeDebugMenu 1

With that done, launch Safari and it will have a Debug menu (on the very far right), which will contain the import bookmarks option.

Give that a try. Good luck!

Hello, I found this post by doing a search and it is exactly what I was looking for. However having never used Terminal before, I wonder if you could give me a little more info about the exact steps I shuold take. Simply typing the line in the shell that opens with terminal doesn't seem to do the trick. Should I type it in a new command? I'm scared to mess anything up so I thought I'd ask before I do something I might regret. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you very much in advance.

Hi there,

Did you press return after typing the command? Nothing will appear to happen after pressing return, other than the command prompt returning to the default ready for a new command to be entered.

If Safari was running while you performed the terminal command you need to quit it via Safari menu > Quit (or press command+q when Safari is the active application) and then relaunch it.

There's not too much you can do wrong or break with this command so don't be too afraid 🙂

Awesome! Entering as a new command did the trick.
Thanks so much for your help.

Cheers!
