Firefox to Safari History Converter

History Converter lets you import your entire Firefox 3 history into Safari 4 on Mac OS X.

Firefox stores history in a file called places.sqlite, located in your Firefox profile directory. This file is a SQLite database which cannot be directly imported into Safari.

History Converter queries the Firefox database for history, including the view count, date, url and title of site. The history is exported from Firefox 3, converted and automatically imported into Safari 4.

Instructions

This utility will import your entire Firefox 3 history into Safari 4. Please note that your current Safari history will be replaced by the imported Firefox history.

1. Open History Converter
2. Locate your Firefox 3 Profile. This is usually in your home directory under:~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/xxxxxxxx.default/
   
3. Drag the file places.sqlite onto the History Converter Drop Zone.
4. Once it has finished converting, open up Safari 4 and your history will be there.

Note Make sure Safari 4 preferences is set to ‘Remove History Manually’, otherwise it will clear the imported history as soon as it’s been added.
