Which browsers, if any, support multi line tabs?

Thanks all.  Vivaldi  looked like it might be a goer... But having just installed it I find that there's no option to import anything from Waterfox (which is based on Firefox v57).

As I have around a thousand bookmarks, many passwords and 3+ rows of tabs entering them all by cut 'n paste isn't a viable option!!!

 Have you tried exporting from WaterFox to HTML and then HTML to Vivaldi?

Import Bookmarks

To import Bookmarks from another browser on the same computer or from an HTML file,

1. Go to the  Vivaldi menu > File > Import Bookmarks and Settings.
2. Select which browser you want to import bookmarks from;
3. Click Start Import.

Depending on the source browser, you can import other browser data, such as Passwords and History, at the same time as well.

It would appear I'm screwed and will have to carry on using Waterfox!
Firefox 57 doesn't have any option to export anything in any format, not HTML or csv nothing. And everything is saved in their own format.
Last time I tried other browsers (which would have been 2018 when FF changed and most addon stopped working), the option to import from Firefox was in them all!

Are you sure?

Show All Bookmarks (Library Window)

Ctrl + Shift + O

Yup, that's the current version. The old v57 doesn't support it... (I've just tried it, nothing happens)

But I think I've found a work around. I've found an old backup extension that saves all the info as individual .json files. A friend of my daughter is wiz bang Linux developer and can write a batch file that converts .json into .csv which I can then import into Vivaldi.
It's a very long winded way of doing it, but if it gets me out of using this version it'll be well worth it!

Nope, that''s for 57.
Alternatively:

You can save them to HTML format too by pressing Ctrl-Shift-B (or hitting Alt, then navigating to Tools->Bookmarks), then clicking on "Import and Backup" and selecting "Export Bookmarks to HTML...".

You made me install Waterfox Classic. Worked as I wrote: Ctrl-Shift-B

Yes, you are right, it does (although you did say Ctrl-Shift-O above...).  Thank you for installing it just to find that out. That's really going above and beyond. . .

But that still doesn't get the history or the passwords exported.
I've exported all the files as .json and I've have them back tomorrow as .csv and as html files, so I'm sorted to move to Vivaldi.
Thank you again for the recommendation.

Let us know how you get on with Vivaldi. Might give it a try myself at some point.
