Update: The steps given below will not work for the new version of Firefox, which is above version 52.
Today, Firefox is one of the most widely used web browsers. Browsing the web without bookmarks can be difficult, as most people don’t remember every site address. Bookmarks make it quite easy to access their favorite sites quickly. A bookmark is an easy way to store a website address. Although there are many online bookmark services available, Firefox remains the best choice for bookmarking, as it’s simple and easy to organize bookmarks within the browser. In this article, we will see how you can backup Firefox Bookmarks.
Why to Backup Bookmarks?
There is always a risk that Firefox may crash, or you may need to install a fresh copy of the OS, which may delete all files on your Hard Drive. It is always a good idea to have a backup of bookmarks so you can retrieve data in the event of any such issue.
Backup Firefox Bookmarks
1. In Firefox, Click on the Library icon on the toolbar, or you can also navigate to Menu –> Library.
2. Click on “Bookmarks”.
3. Click on “Show All Bookmarks.” Firefox will open the Library window. You can also open the Library window using the Firefox shortcut key Ctrl + Shift + B.
4. In the Library window, Click on the Import and Backup dropdown menu –> select Backup and Save the file in .json format.
You can also Export Bookmarks in HTML format. When you want to restore Bookmarks from your backup, follow the steps above and select the “Restore” option from the dropdown. If your backup is in HTML format, then select the “Import Bookmarks from HTML” option.
