on 6/8/2009 My firefox doesn't even have an 'export' option! Only import. How's that possible? It's run on a Mac OS X 10.5.7 and Firefox version 3.0.10.

on 1/14/2009 1. Open Mozilla Firefox.
2. Click Bookmarks and then "Organize Bookmarks".
3. Click "Export HTML" or Click "Import and Backup" and then "Backup". We suggest Exporting to HTML since all browsers support the ability to easily read these files.
4. Type the filename you wish to save the file as and the destination and then click the Save button.
