I recently switched over to Firefox after having enough of IE. I find firefox very easy to use and a lot more convient, especially the tabbed windows. My only quesiton is, how do I save my whole "bookmark" folder? If I were to reformat or export it all to another computer of mine? I tried browsing through the folder within "program files" and could not find my list. I also went into the browser and opened up the manager for bookmarks and under the file tab I clicked on "export" but it just created a 0kb file on my desktop... can someone help?

Thanks in advance.

Mozilla organizes it's bookmarks in a file named bookmarks.html, not a bunch of shortcuts in a folder like IE :)

Exporting through the manager should work though :confused: Anyway it's in C:\Documents and Settings\<your windows logon name>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxx.default\bookmarks.html assuming default settings

All thats to much work.

I just go to bookmarks in FF, click manage bookmarks, then click file, and last click export.

Edit: Just saw that screw3d said this, but theres how you do it. :)
