How to import bookmarks from Firefox to Safari.

Hi Richard

http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Exportingdata+toSafari

should cover it.

With regards to Firefox... I have zero problem, and rare, in 10 yrs using it.

Upgrade to the latest build, works better with 10.6.4.

Inspect what you've added as far as extensions and plugins.

I would hope that export bookmarks isn't too trying!
I use Firefox to sort and manage bookmarks (non of the bookmark managers are perfect for my needs).

Force Firefox (and or Safari) to start fresh: remove all the cache, temp files, history and index and prefs (just leave bookmarks unless those are corrupt).

~/Library/Caches - Safari is in "Metadata"
~/Library/Application Support/Firefox

http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/

I use NoScript, Adblock Plus, FlashBlock only and it is rock solid and faster than any browser (though I don't care for Google's and haven't tried 6.0)

~/Library/Caches - Safari is in "Metadata"

not in ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari ?

Did you bother to look to see what is in ..../Metadata/ ?

Go back to /Users/myaccount/Library/Caches/MetaData/

Delete all the Safari items there when Safari is closed.

Yes I bothered - tho' I'm quite familiar with it, ta

empty Safari's cache & see what files suddenly reduce in size - is it the ones in .../Caches/MetaData/

or

/Caches/com.apple.safari ?
