First, we've added an export feature that lets you download a file containing your entire bookmark set. The file stores data in a standard HTML format and can be used to import your bookmarks into most browsers (Firefox, IE, and Safari are supported). If you use another website that needs your bookmark data, chances are that you can feed it this file.
Secondly, we've made it possible for you to import bookmarks from Delicious. Simply tell us the username to import from, and we will fetch the 100 most recent public bookmarks found in that Delicious account, and add them to a newly created folder in your bookmark set. You can use this feature to import your own Delicious bookmarks, or to import interesting public bookmarks that another Delicious user has made available.
The 100 bookmark ceiling is a limitation of the Delicious API that we are using (one that does not require us to ask you for your Delicious password).
Foxmarks just rocks! It builds up my reputation! I already have a bunch of friends extremely thankful because I introduced them to Foxmarks!! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
ReplyDeleteI have been wanting something like this for a while, and what do you know? You guys have the perfect thing for me.
So thanks, and just so you know -
I AM NOT WORTHY!!!
Hey support Team...
ReplyDeleteI have a question it is possible also to enter also a Password syncronisation. than it wer e perfect add-on.
all other stuff are perfect.
Hey Guys
ReplyDeleteI love this product, but I am thinking about switching to Flock. Are you guys going to mods for Flock?
I have more than 100 bookmarks with del.icio.us. I'd like to switch to Foxmarks, but I can't do that unless it can import *all* of my del.icio.us bookmarks.
ReplyDelete@Anonymous,
ReplyDeleteThe best way to import all your bookmarks from del.icio.us is to first use their export feature to save all your bookmarks as a local file on your desktop. Then use your browser's import feature to get the del.icio.us bookmarks into your browser.
At that point, normal Foxmarks synchronizations will take care of replicating those bookmarks to your other machines.
For this and other technical issues your questions would be answered in a more timely manner by emailing us directly: support@foxmarks.com.
cheers,
Patrick Corcoran
@Patrick Corcoran: I ended up doing exactly that. I just wanted to suggest that your del.icio.us synchronization would prove much more useful if it could handle more than 100 bookmarks.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, have you ever considered publishing statistics? Number of Foxmarks users, total number of bookmarks, number of unique bookmarks, number of unique domains, average and standard devation of bookmarks per account, max bookmarks?
Can anyone tell me how I can import from Opera thousands of my bookmarks? Function "import" doesn't work properly in Firefox as only 1-2 % of my bookmarks were moved from Opera into Firefox.
ReplyDeleteI tried several times but I failed
Downloaded foxmarks on Safari... it says it doesn't have an application to open the file:
ReplyDeleteSafari can’t open the file “foxmarks_bookmark_synchronizer-2-1.1.0.12-fx.xpi” because no available application can open it.
When I try to import my a saved Foxmarks bookmarks.html file into IE it tells me that the file is not a valid bookmark file. I can't use Firefox at work so I would like to import my bookmarks into IE. Does anyone know anything about this?
ReplyDeleteI have copied my bookmarks to Foxmarks and edited them. How do I download the edited bookmarks to another computer
ReplyDelete@Larry: Your best bet is to check in with Mozilla and/or Microsoft for help with that.

Any chance of a direct link? I automatically backup most "web 2.0" pages using curl/wget on cronjobs.
ReplyDeleteA nice http(s) link would be very handy.
@Larry If you are able to download the htm file, then it might be that the file has UTF-8 instead of ANSI character encoding. Open the file with Notepad, then select File>Save As, choose ANSI from the encoding dropdown, then save it with a different name and try again with the new file.
