Hello, my name is Luis Estrada and I'm a software developer. In this video I'll show you how to import and export bookmarks from Firefox. Firefox is a registered trademark of Mozilla and I'm in no way affiliated with Mozilla. I'm using Firefox 3 for this demonstration. Click on the bookmark tab and select Organize Bookmarks. Press the Import and Backup Button. Here you can choose whether to import or export your bookmarks. In both cases Firefox will use a html file. First let's try exporting our bookmarks. Simply select a name for the html file. You can use the date or the name of the computer that holds the bookmarks, in case you use two or more computers. Also, you can leave the default name as bookmarks html. Select a location where you want to store the file and press Save. Now let's take a look at the file. You see that Firefox created a web page containing all your bookmarks and organized them by folders. You can use these files to import bookmarks to another computer that has Firefox or other browsers. To do this, in Firefox press again on the Bookmarks tab. Select organize bookmarks, import and backup and this time select import. Choose the html option. Locate the html file that we just created and hit the open button and that's it. You have successfully imported your Firefox bookmarks. I'm Luis Estrada and I've just shown you how to use your web browser.
