I have a question about bookmarks but I'm not

sure where it should go. If it's in the wrong place, I apologize and ask that the admin move it to the right place.

Is there any way to export or save

bookmarks? My Firefox browser once crashed and I lost all my bookmarks. I would like to be able to save them and import them if this ever happens

again.

Thanks!

Papa
Don't worry, you're in the right spot! Now

for the answer:

Up at the menubar, click Bookmarks, go down and find Manage Bookmarks...

When you get in there, go up and click File,

Export. Find a spot to save them to and name them (the default name is bookmarks)!

Now to import them, do the same thing except click Import

instead of Export. Find you bookmarks and it should load them!

I wrote these instructions in another post:
FirefoxWiz Wrote:The best way NOT to lose

your bookmarks is to follow the instructions below:

Save your bookmarks, now type in about:config in the addressbar. Make a new string with these

values:

Prefrence Name: browser.bookmarks.file
Type: string
Value: put the

path of the bookmarks file you just saved here

Now every time you add or delete or change a bookmark, it will automaticly update it! (I use this

too!)

example for bookmarks file path
C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\My

Documents\Bookmarks.html

Okay, GOT IT. Thanks!!
