9.3.2 Importing Bookmarks from Other Browsers

If you used a different browser in the past, you probably want to use your preferences and
bookmarks in Firefox, too. At the moment, you can import from Netscape 4.x, 6, 7, Mozilla 1.x, and
Opera.
To import your settings, click File > Import. Select the browser from which to import settings. After
you click Next, your settings are imported. Find your imported bookmarks in a newly created folder,
beginning with From.

9.3.3 Live Bookmarks

Live bookmarks display headlines in your bookmark menu and keep you up to date with the latest
news. This enables you to save time with one glance at your favorite sites.
Many sites and blogs support this format. A Web site indicates this by showing an orange icon in the
right part of the location bar. Click it and choose Add NAME OF THE FEED as Live Bookmark. A
dialog box opens where you can select the name and location of your live bookmark. Confirm with
Add.
Some sites do not tell Firefox that they support a news feed, although they actually do. To add a live
bookmark manually, you need the URL of the feed. Do the following:
Adding a Live Bookmark Manually
1 Open the bookmark manager with Bookmarks > Manage Bookmarks. A new window opens.
2 Select File > New Live Bookmark. A dialog box opens.
3 Insert a name for the live bookmark and add your URL, for example, http://
4 Close your bookmark manager.

9.4 Using the Download Manager

With the help of the download manager, keep track of your current and past downloads. To open the
download manager, click Tools > Downloads. Firefox opens a window with your downloads. While
downloading a file, see a progress bar and the current file. If necessary, pause a download and
resume it later. To open a downloaded file, click Open. With Remove, remove it from the list. If you
need information about the file, right-click the filename and choose Properties.
If you need further control of the download manager, open the configuration window from Edit >
Preferences and go to the Downloads tab. Here, determine the download folder, how the manager
behaves, and some configuration of file types.

9.5 Customizing Firefox

Firefox can be customized extensively. You can install extensions, change themes, and add smart
keywords for your online searches.
