Firefox Bookmarks Folder?

Hello all you Firefox users. Do you know where Firefox stores the Bookmarks?

I have looked through the folder in the "Program Files/Mozilla Firefox" folder and have not come up with anything.

I would like to be able to backup that folder should anything happen. I would hate to lose all of my bookmarks.

Thanks. :)

Just make a copy of the firefox folder in your program files..... not a hardcore firefox user but i believe they are in the folder somwhere, since you can just throw it on a flash drive and run it from anywhere and have all of your bookmarks and crap.

I had thought the same thing. However, I recently had some issues on my PC and had to reinstall several applications. When I tried copying the whole Firefox folder back from my backup drive, the bookmarks were still not there.

Fortunately I had not deleted the favorites from IE or I would have lost everything. This way I only lost a few.

OK, I found it!

I have searching through a Mozilla forum and came up with it a search of the threads.

The bookmarks are located within the profile you create. The location for the profile is...

"C:\Documents and Settings\<Windows login/user name>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<Profile name>"

You then look for the file "bookmarks.html" and all your favorites are in there! Thank goodness, as I can now restore my bookmarks by just dragging the file to my new profile. Forunately the old profile had not been deleted. :)

Yes, whenever I completely redo my machine, I back up my Firefox profile in the directory specified above. Then, I restore the folder after I install Firefox after reimaging. It's worked great thus far!!
