Firefox Bookmark Tags Import? about bookmark-tagging HOT 6 OPEN

Thank you, I've done that too, and it works, but it doesn't carry over the Firefox tags as well.

I switched from Firefox to Chrome had the same problem. No Tags are there. So I coded this feature by myself and created pull request #11.

Just click the home button (in extension), then click import and select the bookmarks.html exported from Firefox.

Make a backup of your old bookmarks, because they are not merged and purged.

Here is what you should do:

1. Export the Firefox bookmarks to a HTML file.
2. Import the HTML file to Chrome.
3. Go to Home of the bookmark extension.
4. Click on "Load Chrome Bookmarks"

@archaik maybe you are doing what I did a few weeks ago, so let me share my experience

I did as yguan says. Then I used this extension to produce a json file (both Chrome and FF) and I imported it in Unmark
Unmark can't import the json file so I tweaked the code for my needs.

Final result: all my bookmarks are in a mysql table now :-)

Any steps after "Import the HTML file to Chrome" will not have Firefox' tag information anymore as the Chrome import strips them. As a result, this extension would need to directly support Firefox tag import.

Came up with this answer:

Only a JSON backup preserves the tags.
Note that restoring a JSON backup will replace all current bookmarks.

My question may be stupid but I really need somebody who knows to clarify this for me guys:
IF IMPORTING A JSON.file TO MY CHROME, MEANS ALL ME CURRENT BOOKMARKS WILL BE REPLACED FROM THOSE IN THE JSON FILE, THEN HOW CAN I MERGE THOSE TWO SO TO KEEP THE ONES WITHOUT LOOSING THE OTHERS?
Peace :)
