Hi, I'm currently using an XDAII with WM5, browsing with Firefox 2.0 and using Activesync 4.2
What I'd like to know is how I can bookmark sites in Firefox, then sync those favourites onto my XDA. Activesync only works with IE favourites and, well, I hate using IE.
I'm probably not the only person using Firefox and WM5 Does anyone have any suggestions about how I could go about automatically updating my XDA favourites with Firefox?
i'm interested to know also if there is a plug in for activesyc
I am also interested in an automatic solution.
I exported Firefox bookmarks to IE via html but ActiveSync doesn't sync subfolders!
Had to copy favorites manually...
Any hints?
Thanks,
Eggert
Does anyone know where I can find the bookmarks for "Opera Mini" and "Opera Mobile" and back them up to my Mini SD card on my HTC Touch [T-Mobile UK] as I may need to send it in for repair...
with O mobile i did it the other way around i wanted my desktop bookmarks
in O mobile and
i copied
my .adr from the desktop to
\application data\opera
and that worked fine not
sure about mini though

I never knew you could copy bookmarks from Opera desktop into Opera Mobile...
Basically, something happened bad to my phone yesterday and I need to send it off for repair and the "Dashwire" app doesn't back up Opera Mini or Opera Mobile bookmarks, only PIE bookmarks!
and as i said then by overwriting the .adr file in \application data\opera
with my desktop .adr file i got my desktop bookmarks on opera mobile
the logic conclusion would seem that if you copy the adr file from \application data\opera
you got a backup of your bookmarks
An more forward thinking solution for mini would be to backup your entire java configuration
\windows\appdb\

I think this holds true for most flavors of java, but for sure with JBED
But you can also sync your bookmarks and speed dial settings with myopera (signup for an account and perform sync from opera mini).
Good luck!
I'll try copying the .adr file as well as backing up the entire Java configuration to see if that works as it would be a pain in the butt if I lost all my bookmarks in Opera Mini because the so-called Opera Link option doesn't work properly!
alternately you could use opera sync to back up the bookmarks to their server. unless you aren't using mini 4.0 =)
I've tried using Opera Link with Opera Mini but for some reason it doesn't seem to work with Opera Desktop... My version of Opera Mini is definitely the latest version.

Hi guys,
I was wondering if it is possible somehow to synchronize my bookmarks from Firefox to Opera in my TD2? I have pretty much bookmarks and do not want to type each adress into my phone. If somebody knows better way I would be thankful.
Try:
Searched for Bookmarks to Opera
Searched for Favorites to Opera
But for me I use Import IE Mobile Favs to opera this way the bookmarks are synced with your PC via activesync, then run the program on the TD2 to transfer them across from PIE to Opera mobile
Note: It won't do folders in folders and I had problems trying to transfer lots (hundreds) of bookmarks.
For you you'd have to export/import them from Firefox first, which is what I had to do, but I use Opera desktop (I'm aware of the irony of having to transfer bookmarks from Opera desktop to IE then to PIE then Opera mobile, but I couldn't get the opera.adr file to transfer (& work) and until Opera get Opera link working on Opera mobile (they've got it on Mini) I'll have to use this crazy way around!!!)
Hi all,
does anybody know a smart way how to import bookmarks from Opera Mobile or IE mobile to the recent Opera Mini 5 Beta 2 running without JVM?
I don't want to install Opera on my desktop sync. Anyways I couldn't find an Opera Sync Button in my Opera Mini. I thought there might be an option editing some user files (like the Firefox's bookmark.htm).
Does anybody know where Opera Mini stores its user profiles?
Best regards
Andreas
Just got my Captivate and I'm busy getting it all tweaked. I'm coming from an HTC HD2, and I have a bunch of bookmarks in Opera 10 I'd like to import to Android.
I've tried using Opera Link in Opera Mini to get the bookmarks onto the device. I also used Opera Link to import the bookmarks from the HD2 to the desktop version of Opera... hoping I could import them into Chrome and then somehow sync to Captivate mobile browser (Chrome Mobile?)
Nothing seems to have worked so far. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
