Needed it for new install ;) hotmale October 7th, 2004, 09:27 AM Or open up FireFox -> Bookmarks -> Manage Bookmarks. Within the MB window click File -> Export and choose a place to save the file. I'm surprised many of you didn't know this as it is the same way you backup favourites in IE. Conan October 7th, 2004, 10:29 AM I'm surprised many of you didn't know this as it is the same way you backup favourites in IE. In IE, I backup the C: Documents and Settings/username/Favorites folder using Windows Explorer. petard October 7th, 2004, 14:22 PM also, there is the BookMark Backup extension. http://www.extensionsmirror.nl/index.php?showtopic=13 Bookmark Backup is a simple extension that helps to keep your bookmarks (and optionally other Firefox settings) safe. Each time Firefox is closed, a copy of your bookmarks file will be made to a backup location. If Firefox's bookmarks become corrupted or lost, find the most recent uncorrupted backup and copy it into your profile folder. hotmale October 7th, 2004, 19:21 PM In IE, I backup the C: Documents and Settings/username/Favorites folder using Windows Explorer. Yeah, that's probably the 1st thing one would think of instead of going to File > Import and Export veronica November 17th, 2004, 20:42 PM Just copy the following file: C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\PROFILENAME\bookmarks.html And pop it back when needed.

I can not import my old bookmarks. I am moving my Firefox bookmarks file around, and it is not showing in my bookmarks. It is not working. Any advice? Thank you Laylah November 18th, 2004, 23:59 PM Maybe is lame, but have you tried to import them in The Manage Bookmarks window from your old bookmark.html file?
