I know what follows does not answer the question asked directly, but it does propose an alternative so that the whole import/export when changing computers, or even just using someone else's computer with a specific browser becomes unnecessary.

Use the respective browser's sync function.  All of the majors have had this for years.  You can choose what you want to sync to the cloud so that it's available under that same browser no matter where you are using it, provided you log in to your sync account to gain access.

A web search on the browser name with "set up sync" will return multiple step-by-step tutorials from which to choose.

It’s not lack of contact with the world off campus that leads to the liberal views common in academia — it’s being trained to think critically and practicing this craft daily as we look at the world around us that makes us the libs conservatives so dislike.

Hi Tom,

Here are steps for Chrome.

Open Chrome.

Open bookmark manager control-shift-o

You will be in a search box.  Tab once.

Press enter on Organize.

Either up or down arrow to export bookmarks.

Press enter.

You then have the typical dialogue to save a file.  Decide where to save it.  Use whatever method you want to copy it to your new computer.  It could be a thumb drive or a backup system you have.

Repeat the above steps except select import bookmarks on your new computer.

I hope this helps.

Barbara

Hello, everyone.

I know some will say that I should just Google this and see if I can find an answer. But, does anyone have some tried and true quick and easy steps for importing my Google Chrome and Firefox bookmarks lists from an older computer onto a new computer that I’m thinking of purchasing.

I know how to add bookmarks, but have about 80 of them, and would rather try to import the complete lists if possible, rather than manually adding individual bookmarks.

I would assume that you have to save the bookmarks list, and then import it into each browser on the new computer.

My older computer is a Windows 10 PC, while the newer computer will have Windows 11.

I am using the latest version of Jaws 2023.

Thanks for any assistance!
