Save Your Firefox Bookmarks

If you’re using Windows XP...

recovering from a crash or whatever,if your Firefox bookmarks have disappeared, here’s what to do:

• Find your profile in c:\Documents and Settings\[your XP user name]\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
• There should be a subfolder there called bookmarkbackups. Find the most recent bookmarks html file in there (usually with a date after the ‘bookmarks’ bit.

eg: in my pc..
C:\Documents and Settings\GreatBA\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\2lly819q.default\bookmarkbackups

• Copy it to somewhere safe and rename the existing one bookmarks.html.
• Copy it to the default profiles folder (up one level from the bookmarkbackups folder, deleting the existing bookmarks.html file.
• Close Firefox if it’s running and launch it. Your old bookmarks should be restored.
