If Mozilla's Firefox browser is your preferred window towards the Web, you can still move those foxy favorites to your iPad, but you'll have to do it the long way - by first importing bookmarks from Firefox into Safari. And while this setup will get your bookmarks onto your tablet, it's not going to establish a two-way sync; new bookmarks you add on the iPad won't get synced back to Firefox.
Windows. Download a totally free copy of Safari, start it up, and let it import your Firefox bookmarks during the setup process. Press Ctrl+Shift+B to see all your bookmarks, discount the ones you don't want, and then set the iPad to sync with your desktop's Safari.
Macintosh. You already have Safari. If you have your whole bookmarked life in Firefox, grit your teeth and open that dusty Safari anyway, then choose FileÆImport Bookmarks. Navigate to your Firefox bookmarks file, which is usually in your Home folder, and go to Library, then Application Support, then Firefox, then Profiles and then weird scrambled-named folder.default folder.
Inside, double-click the file called bookmarks.html. You've just imported your Firefox bookmarks. Now, in Safari, press Shift-B to exhibit all your bookmarks on-screen. Delete the ones you don't want on the tablet, and then set the iPad to sync with Safari.
Actually, other browsers can export their bookmarks. You can use that choice to export your bookmarks file to your desktop, and then use Safari's File, then Import Bookmarks menu to pull it in from there.
Behind the curtain, Safari keeps track of the websites you've visited in the a week ago or so, neatly organized in subfolders like "Earlier Today" or dated folders from your previous couple of days of browsing. It's a great feature when you can't recall the URL for a site you visited recently - or when you remember that it had a long, complicated address and you simply can't face pecking it to the iPad keyboard once again.
To see the list of recent sites, tap the button, and then tap a brief history folder, whose icon bears a little clock to make sure you know that it's special. Once the History list appears, just tap a bookmark to revisit a web page.
Erase the History List Some people find it creepy to have Safari maintain a list of every website they've recently seen, immediately in plain view of any family member or co-worker who wanders by. They'd just like soon not have their roommate/wife/husband/boss/ parent/kid understand what they've been up to, Web-wise.
You cannot delete just one particularly incriminating History list. You can, however, delete the entire History list, thus erasing all your tracks. To do that, tap Clear History in the top right corner and confirm it. Congratulations! You've just rewritten History.
