Bookmarks: Firefox to Firefox

[SLyGeN]

I have a bunch of firefox bookmarks on my slave drive at the moment. The system data on the drive is corrupt, I'm not even sure if I can boot in safe mode. I can, however, access the files from my master hard drive via windows explorer.

I'd like to somehow just copy/paste my old bookmarks (and search engines) directories into the firefox folder on my master hard drive. Is there a way to do that?

Unfortunately, I don't think so. I believe exporting the bookmarks from the client is the only way to do it.

Yes you can. There's a folder in your Application Data folder for Firefox that contains the default profile in it. You can then copy that folder and paste it into your existing one. It saves your stuff like bookmarks, and even themes and add-ons too i think.

Here's the directory path for Windows XP, just change Account Name Here to your account name on the computer:

C:\Documents and Settings\ACCOUNT NAME HERE\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox

Oh, that's great! I've been misinformed then

Even better, if you want to JUST get your bookmarks, just dive into the profile folder and bookmarks.html should be sitting in there for the taking.

It seems to be working thus far. Thank you very much, Falchion.
