[NJTechDiv] Copying bookmarks in Firefox

[carcione at access.net]

Thanks Mario.  Sorry to say it didn't work.  I can't find "backup" anywhere.  I was able to copy the list of bookmarks and their URL's to a file, .txt, and save it, but I don't know if it will be able to be imported.  I guess at worst I can paste one of the links, go there and bookmark it. 
It's so annoying, because I'm sure that somewhere on my old PC is a folder with everything I want, but I can't find it and I can't find insturctions as to where it is. I guess this is what I get for still having a machine running Windows7, but it still has valuable programs on it I will someday have to pay to move to my new PC.

Tracy, try the following from a note I saved:

Open the library with control+shift+b.
Open the menus.
Right arrow to Import and Backup.
Down arrow to backup and press enter.
Type the path such as
c:\misc\bookmarks.json
and press enter.
You won't receive a notification that the bookmarks have been backed up but if you check, you will find the file.

Hope it works for you.

I want to copy my Firefox bookmarks from my old PC to my new one.  I Googled and got instructions, but I can’t find the Export Bookmarks menu item anywhere, so I can’t follow the instructions I found.  Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks.

Tracy
