I think we all have websites that you visit from time to time. So, in order not to search for them for a long time, you need to add such pages to your browser bookmarks. But what if you need to reinstall your web browser or want to change the version? operating system, accordingly, will you install all the programs again?
In a previous article, I wrote about how to import (export) bookmarks into Opera. You can read it at the link.
In this article we will deal with the question: how to import or export bookmarks in Mozilla Firefox. This topic may be raised for various reasons. For example, you want to start working in your favorite browser on a laptop, but at the same time a lot of useful pages are saved in a web browser on your computer, etc. This means that you need to make sure that the bookmarks on your laptop have the same links as those on your computer.
Import
There are two ways to import a list of saved sites into Mozilla Firefox.
From another browser
In the first case, you can import them from another browser. To do this, click on the button in the form of a list in the upper right corner, and select the item from the drop-down menu "Show all..." or use the key combination Ctrl+Alt+B.
In the window that opens, click on the button in the top menu "Import and backups". Next, from the drop-down list, select the item "Import data from another browser".
A window opens in which, using a marker, you need to select the browser from which the import will be performed. Click the “Next” button.
All browsers that, like Mozilla, are installed on your computer will be shown here. If they also contain sites that are important to you and you need to work with them in Firefox, then mark the desired browser with a marker.
The next window will display a message that the import was completed successfully. Click "Finish".
Now on "Bookmark Bars" will appear new folder"From Google Chrome", because I imported them from there. Clicking on it will open a list of sites that were previously saved in Chrome.
From file
The second method allows you to import your favorite sites from an HTML file. Click on the list icon again and select from the drop-down menu "Show all...".
From top menu of the window that opens, select "Import and backups", and from the drop-down list click on the item "Import... from HTML file".
A window opens in which you need to select a file in html format in which the bookmarks from the browser were saved. Such an HTML file can be saved: on a computer, on a flash drive, or in cloud storage. Which is very convenient in cases when you want to transfer the addresses of important sites from a computer to a laptop, or from one computer to another. Select the selected file with the mouse and click “Open”.
That's all - now the bookmarks from the selected file will appear in the corresponding list in Firefox.
Export
Export bookmarks to HTML file in Firefox browser, will allow you to save all your important Internet pages after an unexpected browser crash, use them on another device, or open them in another browser.
Click on the “Bookmarks” icon and select from the drop-down menu "Show all...".

Function to import settings into Mozilla Firefox – useful tool, which allows you to quickly and comfortably move to a new browser. Today we will look at the easiest way to import settings, bookmarks and other information into Mozilla Firefox from Fire or a browser from another manufacturer installed on your computer.
Importing settings into Mozilla Firefox from Mozilla Firefox
First of all, let's look at the easiest way to import settings when you have Firefox on one computer and want to transfer all the settings to another Firefox installed on a different computer.
The easiest way to do this is to use the synchronization function, which involves creating a special account that stores all your data and settings. Thus, by installing Firefox on all your computers and mobile devices, all downloaded data and browser settings will always be at hand, and all changes will be promptly made to synchronized browsers.
To configure synchronization, click on the web browser menu button in the upper right corner and in the pop-up context menu select item “Enter Synchronization” .
You will be redirected to the login page. If you already have a Firefox account created, all you have to do is click the button "Login" and enter authorization data. If you don't have an account yet, you need to create one by clicking on the button "Create account» .
Creating a Firefox account is almost instant - you just need to enter your address email, set a password and indicate your age. Actually, this will complete the account creation.
When you have successfully entered synchronization, you just have to make sure that the browser will synchronize Firefox settings, to do this, click on the Internet browser menu button and in the lower area of the window that opens, click on the name of your email.
A synchronization settings window will appear on the screen, in which you need to make sure that you have the box ticked "Settings" . Please fill out all other items at your own discretion.
Importing settings into Mozilla Firefox from another browser
Now consider a situation where you want to transfer settings to Mozilla Firefox from another browser used on your computer. As you understand, in this case you won’t be able to use the synchronization function.
Click on the browser menu button and select the section "Magazine" .
An additional menu will appear in the same area of the window, in which you will need to click on the button "Show entire log" .
In the upper area of the window, expand the additional menu in which you need to check the item "Import data from another browser" .
Select the browser from which you want to import settings.
Make sure you have a bird placed near the item "Internet Settings" . Enter all other data at your discretion and complete the import procedure by clicking on the button "Next" .
The import process will begin, depending on the amount of information being imported, but usually the wait will not be long. From now on, you have transferred all settings to the Mozilla Firefox browser.
If you still have questions related to importing settings, ask them in the comments.
There are several ways to do this. The first is the standard transfer of bookmarks from Firefox. This operation is often performed when reinstalling Windows and buying a new PC or laptop.
The second way to save bookmarks and passwords in Firefox is synchronization. An ideal way for those who do not sit still and want all their data to be available on their work computer, home laptop, as well as smartphone and other devices at the same time.
And the third way is to transfer from Mozilla Firefox to Chrome browsers, Opera, Yandex. Just in case you are tired of the “fiery fox”. Let's take a closer look at each of these methods.
Let's start with the first one.
If you are going to do this, then copy this file to a USB flash drive. So as not to forget later.
It is in the “bookmars” file that bookmarks are stored in Mozilla. This completes the export, let's move on.
Let's say you need to transfer Firefox bookmarks to another computer. Or to the previous one, but after reinstalling the system
To do this:
Ready. In this simple way you can restore bookmarks in Firefox when reinstalling the browser, Windows, etc. Let's move on.
Synchronization in Mozilla
Using the above method, you can only copy bookmarks from Mozilla Firefox. Everything else: passwords, add-ons (plugins), etc. will not be saved. But there is another way to do this - synchronization.
What is this? The essence of synchronization is this: you create an account, and all passwords and other data are tied to it. And in the end, to access them, you just need to log in with your account on any device - work PC, smartphone, etc. And you won’t have to export or import anything.
To make this function work, do the following:
This is how synchronization is carried out in a simple way. To synchronize data on an iOS or Android device, you need to install a special application (links to them are in your personal account).
Using this method, you can not only save your bookmarks in Firefox, but also all your passwords, add-ons, etc.
Transfer bookmarks from Firefox to Chrome, Opera or Yandex
If for some reason you are tired of the “fire fox” or don’t like it, you can export the data from it and transfer it to another browser. Fortunately, modern versions are good friends with each other.
First, you need to copy your bookmarks from Firefox. That is, export them. After this, you can proceed to the main thing.

Click Ctrl+Shift+O – the “Import Done” folder appears here. If necessary, you can rename it or structure it in a convenient way.
Firefox to Opera:
Then click Ctrl+Shift+B and open My Folders. Here you will find sites imported from Chanterelle.
From Firefox to Yandex:

Just as simple as that!
2. Hacking the Facebook account.
As we mentioned before paste the link of your victim"s profile and click "hack".
If you see his or her name and profile pict then you did well.
This process might take a couple of minutes, that"s normal so now wait till it"s done.
3.Download the account info.
Once the process is finished there will be two options to download the password.
3.1 How to download the password using referrals?
If you want to get the password through the referral"s system, you have to share this link with five different friends. Do not post it as your victim may realize about it, we recommend to choose five close friends that won"t judge you for it. After that the download will start.
3.2 How to download the pass with a survey?
You will find four different servers to a complete the survey. Once you are done with any of these ones the download shall start automatically.
And why are these two steps necessary? Remember that this is a free way to hack a Facebook account, therefore, many people will take advantage of this tool to hack.
4. Login to the Facebook Account
Now that you have the password, it is very important to login through our webpage. You will avoid for Facebook to ask you for a email verification.
Now that you are in please do not commit any suspicious things because your victim will realize that someone else is using it too, he or she will change the password and you must do this process all over again.
