does an imported bookmarks.html merge?

Post by anirrr »

firefox
bookmarks.html

If you import a bookmarks.html file in firefox, do they merge with those bookmarks already on firefox?
Do duplicates get deleted?

Thank you.

Hi,
No.
Please ref; > http://kb.mozillazine.org/Import_bookmarks
"The imported bookmarks will be added to your existing bookmarks....
Firefox users who don't wish to keep their existing bookmarks can start in Firefox Safe Mode, select the option, "Delete all bookmarks except for backups" (Firefox 3.6 and above) or "Reset bookmarks to Firefox defaults" (Firefox 3.5 and below), and then choose "Make Changes and Restart", before importing the bookmarks HTML file. "

After the html import, if you want to keep some of your existing ones, then a little bit of "sorting & deleting" will be needed.
