[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Exporting Bookmarks?

Posted: 3/20/2007 4:02:14 PM EDT

I'm about to wipe my hard drive. Is there a way to export my bookmarks to a text file or something so I don't loose them all?

ETA: I'm using Firefox and my wife uses IE6.

yes,
go to C:\Documents and Settings\YourLoginNameHere\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ycb5ipll.default\bookmarks.html

ycb5ipll.default might be different on your machine.

Save it and copy it back to the same relative place on the new machine.

i believe firefox has an export bookmarks menu item within the bookmark manager.

Yep, click on Bookmarks, go to Organize Bookmarks, then click on the File menu, then Export. Fill out a file name, leave the file type as it is.

Copy the file to your backup solution. Do the same process except use 'Import' to import your shortcuts.
