when you backup you pick place to save it too like flash drive

then on new firefox you import restore and choose the file on the flash drive

If all else fails you can copy the contents of your mozilla program folder

in addition to that copy all contents in the appdata folder.

If you go to Firefox/ profiles/bookmarkbackups you'll find 15 auto backups in there that may work once copied over

I dont want that tho, the old setup let me xfer the links directly to a folder, so I could still click them,

this allows me to plug the flash drive into any comp, then click the link and it opens it drectly from libary,

maybe the mozzila change doesnt allow this anymore , seems stupid af...

so you want to take your time and select certain ones
but you cant do them all and delete the ones you dont want thru backup/restore or just creating an account and sync?

Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import and Backup > Export Bookmarks to html


Then you can just copy paste the html file onto your USB stick.



/e Then you can do the same thing to Import the bookmarks to the browser on your new comp.

I can't even remember the last bookmark I made. It's been that long.

Why do they call it a bookmark when it’s actually a URL
Shouldn’t it be called a savedURL or savedlink or storedlink or something along those lines?

Maybe they could call it Favorites, like IE does.
