Thanks but I was hoping to delete the bookmarks only without losing the bookmarks I added.:good:
Download skyfire web browser 4.0 from play store, delete the bookmarks you want in browser settings, then un install skyfire. Works for me on stock unrooted at&t. Even was able to delete the pre installed bookmarks.

I have Mobile Firefox (FF) installed. The latest version lets you synch FF desktop bookmarks to your FF on your mobile device. This is handy, but I would also LOVE to be able to export those bookmarks over to the stock android browser.
There are several bookmark synching (cloud based) apps out there - Xmarks (pay app), etc. However I don't see anything that specifically allows you to just import a bookmark set into Android. That functionality is also not built into the stock browser.
Surely, by now, there has to be a quick/easy way to import FF/IE/Chrome bookmarks directly to the Android Browser on your mobile device?
Nevermind. I did not read the OP carefully enough.
Edit: I also am looking for a solution to this. Supposedly Gmarks can do this but I could not figure out how.

MyBookmarks app (free in Market) will do this. You export your bookmarks; upload them to their site; import them to your device. Supposedly works on all phones (I have a Toshiba Thrive) and IE, Firefore, Safari, and Chrome.

I appreciate the response, I did a market search but this app must not have been popular enough to come up in the first 10-15 bookmark related apps.
I'll give it a try, there is a Free and Pro version.

Downloaded this mybookmarks app. Uploaded ff bookmarks on the website then imported them with the app. Said it was successful but the android native browser has the same bookmarks as before. Nothing new imported. Strange. Anyone else get this to work with synergy or gb based rom? Not sure why it's not importing them to the browser correctly.

No idea why this app doesn't work for me? Says it imports but my bookmarks are the same.

Same with me.
And I'm getting really upset that I can't transfer my Firefox bookmarks to my HTC. I have allot of them, and use them for work also.
Since I'm going on a business trip, I'll need it all on my DHD.
It's a pain in the ass to create one by one manually.
I am using the built-in browser or Chrome on my Notr 2. Is there any way to sync my bookmarks of Safari on my desktop? Tks!

Without looking into it, can you sync safari bookmarks to your google account? I did a 5 second google search and this popped up.
Any good?

Thanks for your advice. I downloaded Xmarks and installed it successfully on my iMac. I clicked Synchronize Now and completed it. Firstly where is my bookmarks in Google Mail? What is the next step to sync with the browsers in my Note 2? There is no QSG for ref. Thanks!
I hate how I always have to "request desktop site" when using Chrome. Has anyone found a way for it to permanently display desktop sites without having to check the box each time?
No, but that is the main reason i don't use chrome as my primary. Dolphin is my primary browser now.

I may end up switching back to Dolphin Browser for the exact same reason.

Saw someone on the forum mention Maxthon browser so decided to check it out, it's actually really fast. However I can't seem to get it to sync bookmarks with the desktop and the addon I downloaded for it to bookmarks fails to login to google, does anyone know any other way to get chrome's bookmarks to sync with it?

Maxthon can only sync with its own desktop version browser. Personally I prefer Maxthon rather than chrome on desktop, it has better basic functions like built-in adhunter, screen snap, webkit/IE engines, video downloader etc.
Yeah I installed the desktop version, created an account, signed into both, imported bookmarks on desktop version, but it still won't sync to mobile.

One of the first things I wanted to do with my newly S-offed phone was to finally get rid of those pesky Verizon bookmarks. I used Nobloat to delete the com.android.providers.partnerbookmarks apk, and after a reboot that took care of those annoying bookmarks in Chrome, as there's nothing under mobile bookmark folder now.
However, in the stock browser, those three m$#@5ing bookmarks are still there! I've tried clearing the data for the Internet app and rebooting but no luck. I know this is kinda silly, but I'd much appreciate it if you know a way to get rid of them! The stock browser has worked flawlessly for me, and with the thumb control, it's really grown on me.

You have to use SQLite Editor to edit the database file holding the bookmarks list. The database is located at /data/data/com.android.browser/browser2.db, and you want to edit the "bookmarks" table.

Thanks - the path on my phone is actually /data/data/com.android.browser/databases/browser2.db.
I've deleted all entries in the bookmarks table, but when I open up the browser, those three still show up! And I still can't delete them What the hell...
