Exporting Firefox Bookmark "toolbar" to

by oregoncountry - 4/12/12 1:04 PM

IE 9. I cannot find anything on exporting my toolbar, not to be confused with favorites or bookmarks. No problem there.

Can anyone tell me how to do this? I have atleast 20 and most have login saved so I don't want to have to create every icon again and go through the whole sign in for each.

Can anyone save me a lot of time regarding the transfer, if there is a way? thank you in advance for any help, denise

Toolbars are typically installed by software installers and so my first thought is you would have to install that software again.

However, it may be possible if you export/import the whole Firefox Profile, and guidance on how to do that here;

I hope that helps.

The bookmarks toolbar, described in http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Bookmarks%20Toolbar, is part of the program. You can't transfer part of a program to another program.
But I don't think you have 20 toolbars.So your post is not really clear.

If you make that bookmarks on that toolbar to normal bookmarks (the worst that can happen is that you have to visit all those sites and add them one by one) you can export them, and import them in IE. But you surely can't export passwords from the password manager in such a form that you can import them in Internet Explorer. So that part would have to be done manually anyway.

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080219184219AA6qi4o doesn't seem really helpful, although the tip about the Links section in IE might make some sense.
