I have switched from IE to Firefox as a browser. I am aware of the procedure for saving favorites in IE in the event of a system failure but I need to know where the favorites folder is located for Firefox so I can save the folder to my flash drive. Thank You.

Your bookmarks are located here:

My Computer/C/Documents and Settings/Account name/Application Data/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/xxxxxxxx.default(unless another profile was created)/bookmarks.html or a Folder named bookmarkbackups/in that folder the past 5 days of bookmarks are saved

To back up your favorites I prefer to do this

With FireFox open

• click Bookmarks at the top of the screen
• click Organize Bookmarks
• click File
• Export
• save it to the location of your choice

Don't forget to check out all the terrific add-ons and get your favorite plug-ins on the Mozilla site for FF.

The nice thing about Firefox (and also Thunderbird) is that you can copy the entire contents of the profile folder to somewhere else, wipe the machine, re-install Firefox and copy your contents back to the new profile and keep all the add-ons, themes, favourites, history, settings, etc.

You also can get the version that installs on a thumb drive and carry FF where ever you go.
