<![CDATA[Bookmark importer under more tools is grayed out]]>How do I enable the bookmark importer so I can import my FireFox bookmarks. I exported them to both a .json and an HTML file and put those in various Opera sub-folders. I have the book marks toolbar enabled.

I exported my Firefox bookmarks into an html file, then imported them into Opera. It brought over the bookmarks and even the folders.

Thanks!

Pull down menu in upper left
Click 'Get extensions'
Search 'Bookmarks Manager' and click 'Install'. This puts a Bookmarks icon in upper right of browser.
Click 'Import/Backup'
Choose your Bookmarks html file

I have many bookmarks accumulated over the years and nicely organized in folders and sub-folders. This method categorizes them by sub-folder, but the sub-folders are in some order that's not immediately obvious - definitely not alphabetical, nor chronological.

As a work around, I exported my Firefox bookmarks to hard drive. Then opened Opera and in the URL entered the location of that html file - for me it was {file:///c:/(subdirectory where my bookmark file was located)}. Then made sure it appeared on my "Speed Dial". It might help to edit that bookmark html file with a program like MS Word before opening up Opera - I used my dedicated web-page editor to do that. I also bookmarked that bookmark file so I can always get to it easily.

Eh, too linux-y. I don't expect to have to do complicated things to accomplish stuff done automatically with modern browsers. There must be a way to do it because the instructions specifically say it can be done.

You are lucky. My settings folder doesn't even have the bookmark importer under the settings page.

It's on More Tools.

Afaik you can't use it to import from other browsers, it only imports your Opera Presto bookmarks.
