Hi there:

I bought a new computer, I downloaded FIREFOX but I cannot find a way to
transfer my bookmarks in my Firefox from my old computer. I can find an
option to "import" but none for "export".

Any help will be very appreciated

Gabriel

Go to the Bookmark tab in FF and open the Bookmark manager. There is an
Export option there.

good luck - BDT

In your Profile folder on the old computer is a file: bookmarks.html.
That's the file you want to copy to the Profile on the new computer.

You only have to copy the bookmarks.html from the old computer/profile
to the new computer profile.

For backup/restore the entire profile the only you have to do is copy
all files and directory from the old to the new profile.

If the profile directory have a name for example: a9winxjk.default, you
have to copy all files and directory inside that to the new computer.


You need to have a new profile in the new computer(execute Fx once, exit
and copy the profile files)

The profile in the spanish in the NT type windows is located in

C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\"Datos de
programa"\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
