How can I save my bookmarks, then move them to a new computer when I re-download firefox?

I am getting a new CPU and will download FireFox when I get it. I would like to be able to save and or print my list of favorite bookmarks so I can re-create them on the new computer/FireFox. Is there someway I can just transfer the old bookmarks list to an new computer and a new download of the browser.

Hello Hellen.
If you're just getting a new CPU, you shouldn't need to worry about backing up your information, since you don't need to format your hard drive to change the CPU.
However, and I don't mean to insult you in any way, so please forgive me for my assumption, if you're referring to the computer (the tower itself, with the drives, boards and all that) as a "CPU", hopefully this support article is what you need:
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information
The main thing to remember is that you don't need to just back up your bookmarks. You can port your ''whole'' Firefox experience (that includes passwords, history, cache, settings, add-ons, bookmarks, home pages, absolutely everything) from computer to computer by just copying your profile folder around. It's a brilliant thing that many people don't know, and often people will start all over again, which is totally unnecessary and definitely a big shame. I hope this helps.

  • I have a new computer. How can I save my music from my IPod to the new computer since it isn't in my Library. I don't want to sync and lose music.

    My old computer crashed and I have a new computer. How can I save my music from my IPod to the new computer since it isn't in my Library. I don't want to sync and lose music.

    Then you will need to search for a 3rd party program to transfer content
    Pasted from another thread
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2234756?start=0&tstart=0
    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola and iDump andiPodRobot.
    If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
    iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
    There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.

  • How can I save my bookmarks, and email them?

    I would like to save my bookmarks, and email them to one of my Gmail accounts. This way I can download them into another computer.
    How do I do this?

    A couple of methods.
    If you want the bookmarks on the other computer to be replaced with the bookmarks on your current computer, follow the procedure in the [[Backing up and restoring bookmarks]] article to backup the bookmarks to a json file which you can email, and then restore those onto the other computer.
    If you want to add the bookmarks to the other computer, but still keep the bookmarks that are already on the other computer, you need to export them to an html file. To do that see [[Exporting bookmarks to an HTML file]]. You can email the html file, and import it to the other computer, for details see [[Importing Bookmarks from an HTML File]].

  • How can I get my old itunes library back on a new computer when I lost my old computer

    I had iTunes on my old computer and the programming was messed up and I lost my itunes. I now have a new computer and I want to restore all the music I previously bought, as it was quite a lot

    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy of your computer, you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:

  • How can I copy my ratings and play count to my new computer?

    I am reformatting my computer.  Currently all my iTunes songs are saved in the typical iTunes music folder.  I also have all my songs backed up on my external hard drive.  I really really do not want to lose all my play counts and ratings as that is what a lot of my playlists have been created from.  How can I save these settings and transfer them to my reformatted computer?

    Chris,
    It works the same way as transferring photos or any other content.  Copy the folders from the old computer to a flash drive or an external HD, and then from the drive to the new computer.

  • How can I save the images and movies on a  external Disk from iphoto program, to protect the images when problems occur in the laptop,

    How can I save the images and movies on a  external Disk from iphoto program, to protect the images when problems occur in the laptop,

    Most Simple Back Up:
    Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
    Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
    Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store
    If you want to back up the Photos only:
    Export them using the File -> Export command.
    This User Tip

    has details of the options in the Export dialogue.

  • IWeb is not in libraries application support any more.  How can I find my website and move it to a different computer?

    iWeb is not in libraries>application support any more.  How can I find my website and move it to a different computer?

    In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    Then you will be able to navigate to the Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and get the domain.sites file for copying to the other Mac.

  • I downloaded an album on itunes using my new itouch; but it's only allowing me to put three songs at any one time into the music app...how can i get it to just move them all in there?

    i downloaded an album on itunes using my new itouch; but it's only allowing me to put three songs at any one time into the music app...how can i get it to just move them all in there?

    hi philly, thanks for getting back to me, especially on such a busy day.
    I don't think that's quite the issue though. I bought an album and it appears in 'my purchases' within the itunes app. Yet, in order to listen to the music, i must use the 'music' app and in this application, there are only three tracks displayed at any one time from my downloaded album.
    I can 'download all' from the 'my purchases' section but that still doesn't help, it just keeps the last three tracks downloaded in the music app.
    I have the 'icloud' enabled and wondered if it had anything to do with that.
    i have successfully downloaded another full album totally into the music app, but this first album is causing me problems.

  • I want to get my book marks on a new computer I just bought. Where are they on my old one so I can burn them on a cd then install them on my new computer

    I want to know where the bookmarks are on my old computer so I can burn a cd and install them on my new computer

    A flash drive, or your external drive that you use to backup all your data would work better. With a CD you have to be careful of what utilities that you use to do the copying with or you end up with read-only (write protected) files.
    Also I think you would much prefer to copy your entire profile over than just your bookmarks.
    On your old and your new computers you can find your profile through about:support typed into the location bar (or Help > Troubleshooting information...) and then click on the "Open Containing folder". With Firefox down, you would simply copy your profile to external device, then on new system remove the content in your (Firefox) profile and replace it with the contend from the old computer -- also with Firefox down.
    You might consider copying a lot of your ''' c:\users\ ''' folders over selectively then your email and other applications user data on your machine, would be copied. Having two working machines is a lot easier to work with than an old backup or no backup. You can
    even connect the two machines through wi-fi and copy data.

  • The computer that I used to sync my Ipad with crashed.  How can I copy the pictures from my Ipad to my new computer?

    The computer that I used to sync my Ipad with crashed.  How can I copy the pictures from my Ipad to my new computer?  When I try to use Picassa to import them I can only see the 'Camera Roll; folder but I have several other folders with hundreds of pictures in them

    To copy photos to your computer that were taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites then see this page - on a PC you can use the windows camera wizard
    To copy photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app on your iPad such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.

  • I upgraded my computer to 64bit.  How can I transfer my Premiere Elements 8.0 (32bit) to new computer?

    In October 2014, I purchased Adobe Premier Elements 8.0 (and the APE Templates 8.0) for my work computer (32bit Windows 7).  Now they gave me a new computer which is 64bit (Windows 7).  How can I get my Premier Elements program back on my new computer without having to purchase it all over again?  I only had the program for a couple of months before they upgraded my computer  to a 64bit  I submitted my question through "Adobe Chat" and they said they couldn't help and I would need to check the forums.  Thanks to anyone who can help!   Jay

    What did you have for installation...
    a. installation files from a purchased download from Adobe
    or
    b. installation disc from boxed packaging of the product?
    If you have an installation disc, then insert the disc into the burner tray and follow the instructions for the installation
    that present sequentially. Remember that Premiere Elements 8 on Windows 7 64 bit is still going to be a 32 bit application.
    It will be running in the 32 bit compatibility mode of the 64 bit computer and the 32 bit limitations would apply. But Premiere Elements
    8 will install on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit but not as a 64 bit application.
    Now if you purchased an download, those downloads are typically specific to the operating system to which it was downloaded.
    Whether or not installation files downloaded to a 32 bit computer will work on 64 bit computer is questionable. Best advice is to
    try it. You will get an immediate message from the computer and program if it is a no go.
    Please review and let us know the outcome.
    Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
    Thank you.

    Add On...Premiere Elements Windows is a 64 bit application only when it is version 10, 11, 12, or 13 run specifically on
