How to Backup Firefox Bookmarks

Back up your Firefox bookmarks to protect yourself against data loss.

You can back up your Firefox bookmarks to protect your browser's data from unexpected software crashes. The bookmark feature in Firefox lets you quickly go to your favorite websites and you can add a bookmark to a website by clicking on the star located on the right side of the address toolbar. Firefox creates backups of your bookmarks periodically, however you may want to manually back up your bookmarks if you have recently bookmarked several websites or are considering sharing the bookmarks with another computer.
