I saved my bookmarks form my laptop in an html file. now I want to import that file into the bookmarks on Firefox on my netbook. the files are basically the same but i have dded several new bookmarks because I was using my laptop and have not used my netbook in awhile. how do I import the new html file without doubling the bookmarks that are already on my firefox which is running on my netbook. a lot of the folders are the same.

There is no option to just import the new bookmarks.

A few options.

  1. Import the HTML file, then use the CheckPlaces extension to remove the duplicates - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/checkplaces
  2. Use the Firefox Sync extension to synchronize the bookmarks - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/firefox-sync
  3. If you want bookmarks on the netbook to be replaced with those from the laptop used the method in the following link - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Backing+up+and+restoring+bookmarks

With the last method, you backup the bookmarks to a json file and import that file onto the netbook. When you restore a json file on the other computer it will remove all bookmarks that currently exist and replace them with those in the json file.
