Want to export your bookmarks to a .html file? You can in Firefox with just a few clicks of the mouse. This can come in handy when it comes to syncing your bookmarks with another browser, backing up or moving from PC to PC. Mozilla has made the import and backup options in Firefox brain dead simple.
First, you will want to go to Bookmarks and then Organize Bookmarks from within the Firefox Menu toolbar. That will open up the Bookmark Library. From within there, click on Import and Backup and then Export HTML…
When you do, you will get a kind of “save this file as…” screen pop-up where the default name of the exported file will be bookmarks.html. Select the location you wish to save the file to, and then hit the Save button.
There you have it. You now have a picture perfect backup of your Firefox bookmarks. Hope this basic tutorial comes in handy – and if you have any other bookmark exporting tips you would like to share – be sure to do so in the comments.
