Tip: Export your Firefox bookmarks

July 07th, 2007 | Category: Macintosh, Windows, Internet, Linux, How to

Firefox is a great browser ‘n all, but if you’ve been looking for a way to create a manual backup of your bookmarks or - *gasp* - try a different browser on for size, exporting your ‘marks might not be the most obvious of processes (by the way: BonEcho in our screenshot is simply an Intel-optimized branch of Firefox). Sure, you can go up

to the File menu to import bookmarks, but Export is nowhere to be seen… unless you open the Bookmarks Manager from the Bookmarks menu. That manager is where the File > Export command lives (Mac users: simply make sure that Manager window is front-most when checking the File menu), allowing you to save your bookmarks for backing up, sharing or porting to another browser.
