Where the heck does Firefox keep its bookmarks?

Sky Warrior Bob · 06-01-2008, 06:04 PM

So, I've got myself a new computer. But I've lost all my Firefox bookmarks & want to set them up again.

Thing is, I don't know where to look and/or find them. Can anyone help:?

Go to Bookmarks -> organize

A window will pop up, I'm sure you've been in it before. In this window, go to File -> export then pick where you want to save the file.

Unfortunately there's no 'dump' folder where you can drag-and-drop.

You're going to have to export it all into a "Bookmarks" file then swap it between computers.

Try C:\Documents and Settings\(name)\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\(foldername)\bookmar ks.html, assuming you're on Windows XP.

Thanks Skyshot. I found them. I knew they had to be on the HD somewhere, since I didn't delete anything.
