Tips & Warnings

The Internet does not have to be connected in order to delete a bookmark. This action can be done off-line.
Copies of your Mozilla Firefox bookmarks are automatically backed up if you are using a version of Firefox 1.5 and up. These bookmark copies are located in a folder titled "bookmarkbackups." These can be accessed in the Firefox profiles directory. Should you need to replace a bookmark that has been lost, all you have to do is copy the backup file to the profile folder and title it "bookmarks.html."
