Firefox question

Nov 12, 2004 7:06AM PST

I think this is a great browser! I run XP and want to back up my Firefox Bookmarks - but I can't for the life of me find out where it lives. C\Programs\Favourites gives me only the favourites from OE and none of the new ones I've recently added. Can someone please tell me how to access these bookmarks?
TIA
David

Is this not done within Firefox itself?

Open up firefox, goto the Bookmark menu option at the top, (along where it says File - Edit - View - Go - etc), click it and look for an option something like, "Manage bookmarks".

Click that, then in the new window under File or Tools, click Export.

You can then export, (copy), your bookmarks file to a place of safety.

Locating a file just created on your system
Dec 20, 2004 12:21PM PST

To find the favorites files you created on firefox or any file you just created on your computer, just do the following:

Click on the start button, click on search, when the search window opens, look under the search fields for the search options, click on search options, change this to search by date, then look for the latest file you just created on today's date. Hope this helps.
