How to Export the Favorites File From Firefox

Export your Firefox bookmarks using the browser's built-in tools.

Like all Web browsers, Firefox allows you to save websites to a favorites list, bookmarking the specific URL, allowing you to instantly access the saved address. After accumulating a lengthy list of favorites, you may wish to export them to your computer in order to prevent losing every bookmark due to technical issues with your computer or the browser. Use Firefox's built-in exporting tools to save your bookmarks to your computer.

Instructions

1. Open Firefox.

2. Press "Ctrl," "Shift" and "B" to open the bookmark library.

3. Click the "Import and Backup" button at the top of the window.

4. Click "Export HTML." An "Export Bookmarks File" dialog window appears, allowing you to select a location on your hard drive.

5. Choose the location to which you want to export your favorites and click "Save."
