How to save your Firefox bookmarks on your computer?

I’m having some problems with Firefox, so I want to uninstall it and then reinstall it. But I want to save all my bookmarks, so can I save my bookmarks to my computer, and then import them back to Firefox once I reinstall it? Thanks for the help.

Michelle answers:

Don’t worry about saving them. Unless you delete Firefox’s data directory, they’ll be there when you reinstall.

If you still want to save them, they’re at:

In Windows XP:

c:Documents and Settingsyour usernameApplication DataMozillaFirefoxProfilesyour profile number.defaultbookmarks.html

In Windows Vista:

c:Usersyour usernameApplication DataMozillaFirefoxProfilesyour profile number.defaultbookmarks.html

Come to think of it, reinstalling Firefox from the ground up might give you a different profile number, so knowing where the bookmarks file is is a good idea.

Hope that helps.
