"Hi, I'm Gary for Expert Village now I'm going to show you how to save all of your bookmarks in 1 file. That can be easily be loaded into a new installation of Firefox in case anything happens to your computer that you want to save that file so you can load all of your bookmarks. Go to document and settings and then go to the main of the user that is listed on your computer, your user name and then under there, there would be a folder for application data. Underneath application data you would see the software for Mozilla you would see a folder named Mozilla which is really the name of Firefox and underneath Mozilla you would see Firefox. Then you would see a folder called profiles and you would see another folder under that which is usually a funny number with some mixed letters that is basically the user name for your computer. Now under that folder within that folder you would see it would be a Firefox file you would see the icon for Firefox and there would be a html file called bookmarks and all you have to do is save that file, back it up somewhere. If you need to restore Firefox you can always install it through the book marks manager."
