Question

The only Save As option I get is Firefox HTML Document. Do I need Chrome?

Fred Husby

Community Answer

HTML is html even if you add Firefox in front. There might be some Firefox-related stuff in the file, but as long as it has html-format, it should open in any browser. Just save your Firefox-variant, and open it in Chrome.

Question

How do I export my bookmarks as one flat list/file without retaining all the bookmark folders?

Fred Husby

Community Answer

The easiest way is exporting all, then opening the HTML file in Word or similar program. Mark the the unwanted folder area, and just delete. Then just save the HTML file with a new name, reopen it in any browser, and you'll see that you've got a flat file without any folders.

Question

Why are my exported bookmarks in Chrome only partially imported into another Chrome on a different laptop? How do I know if I have fully exported all my bookmarks in Chrome?

Lauren Eddy

Community Answer

Partial import of bookmarks could be due to file corruption or compatibility issues. Ensure the export file is complete. In Chrome, click on "Bookmarks" > "Bookmark Manager" > "More" > "Export bookmarks." Check the exported HTML file size to confirm completeness.

Question

Is there a size limit for the Google Bookmarks import HTML file?

Faithcode Technologies

Community Answer

Google does not impose a strict size limit on the HTML file used for importing bookmarks. However, practical limitations can arise based on the browser or tool you're using for the import. Very large files might encounter performance issues or errors, so try breaking the file into smaller segments or cleaning up unnecessary bookmarks if you experience problems. Most modern browsers handle large bookmark files reasonably well, but keeping the file size manageable can help ensure a smoother import process.

Question

How do I export only one bookmark folder from Chrome?

Abdul rehman rehman

Community Answer

Chrome doesn’t directly allow exporting a single bookmark or folder. Here’s a workaround: Open Bookmark Manager by clicking the three dots in the top-right corner, then go to Bookmarks > Bookmark Manager. Create a new folder by clicking the three dots in Bookmark Manager, selecting Add new folder, and naming it. Copy the bookmark or folder you want to export, right-click, and select Copy. Paste it into the new folder by right-clicking and selecting Paste. Export the folder by right-clicking and choosing Export, and then save the file. Finally, delete the temporary folder by right-clicking and selecting Delete.
