I want to change the file location for the automatic backup file bookmarks.file, but I can't find browser.bookmarks.file in the list on the about:config page.

I asked about automatic backup of bookmarks and received the following answer:You can make Firefox 3 create an automatic HTML backup (bookmarks.html) when you exit Firefox if you set the pref [http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML] to true on the about:config page. That backup is created by default in the profile folder as bookmarks.html, but you can set the file name and path via the pref [http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.bookmarks.file browser.bookmarks.file] on the about:config page. I went to about:config page and toggled browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML to “Yes” and it’s working. However, I want to change the file location, but I can’t find browser.bookmarks.file in the list.

The browser.bookmarks.file preference does not exist by default. Right-click in about:config and select "New > String" to create it.

I opened my computer and the whole top only shows web search, I can not find my bookmarks and I tried reloading firefox and still nothing but tab bar

Question
I opened my computer and the whole top only shows web search, I can not find my bookmarks and I tried reloading firefox and still nothing but tab bar. Tried f10, alt, nothing! Can I reload an old firefox? There is no firefox logo at top. When I rt click at top I see hide toolbar and leave full screen. To the right there is only a home sign. How can I get my BOOKMARKS ??????? I so need them and hate what ever this is that now shows up on firefox.

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

I recently updated my browser. A message then came up, saying that firefox would create a folder with my old bookmarks. But I can't find my bookmarks in it?

I recently updated my browser. A message then came up, saying that firefox would create a folder which would include my old bookmarks. But I can't find my bookmarks in it?

I'm not familiar with that message...
Are you bookmarks still intact and working normally?
Is there an Old Firefox Data folder on your desktop by any change? If the Firefox "Reset" feature runs, that folder should be created.

Where can I find deleted bookmarks? where do they go? I want to delete them completely. Ed.

Where can I find deleted bookmarks? where do they go? I want to delete them completely. Ed.

Hi Ed,
The bookmarks are stored within a file called ''places.sqlite'' which is a database, so this is changed, an individual bookmark is not stored as an html file. In addition Firefox makes some backup files automatically of with the name bookmarks, a date and the extension .json.
If you delete a bookmark from your library it will still exist for a while in the bookmarks backup. Additionaly a record of the site visit will be held in the History unless you visited whilst using Private Browsing.
If you were to delete places.sqlite note you would loose History as well as ALL your own bookmarks, including any tags keywords folders and descriptions.
Not sue whether that answers your question fully as I am not too sure what you may wish to achieve. Has something happened that you wish to prevent?
Depending on what you are trying to do some of these may be worth reading:
*[[Private Browsing - Browse the web without saving information about the sites you visit]]
*[[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data]]
*[[Recover lost or missing Bookmarks]]

I can't find the "Bookmark All Tabs" feature in Firefox 5 that used to be there. Was it moved or just removed?

I can't find the "Bookmark All Tabs" feature in Firefox 5 that used to be there. Was it moved or just removed?

Some menu entries in the main menu bar are hidden if you use the mouse and only appear if you use the keyboard to open the menu (Bug 626825).
You can see the difference if you use Alt+F to open the File menu or other menus like the Edit menu (Alt+E) and compare that to what you see if you use the mouse to open the menu after you have made the menu bar visible by tapping Alt or by pressing F10.
* "Bookmark All Tabs" (Shift+Ctrl+D) no longer shows in the Bookmarks menu unless you open the Bookmarks menu via the keyboard (Alt + B).
* Bookmark All: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/bookmark-all/

My system was re-set during repairs and I have lost my Firefox bookmarks. Are these stored anywhere on the system? I did a full backup of documents and programme files before repair, but can't find any bookmark file.

I did not do backups of the bookmarks regularly, since I thought these would be saved somewhere. However, I can't find any bookmark files on my backed-up system.

Thanks - now I can see an applications folder, and have found a .default file, hope this is the one. Should I now follow these instructiosn to restore my profile, or just go to organise bookmarks and import the default file?
Copying files between profile folders
Note: Firefox must be closed down while copying files between profile folders.
1. Open your profile folder:
* (Firefox 3.0 and 3.5): See How to find your profile
1. (Firefox 3.6): At the top of the Firefox windowOn the menu bar, click on the Help menu and select Troubleshooting Information.... The Troubleshooting Information tab will open.
2. Under Application Basics, click on Open Containing FolderShow in Finder.
2. From the menu at the top of the Firefox windowbar, select FileFirefox and then select the ExitQuit FirefoxQuit menu item.
3. Right-clickHold down the Ctrl key while you click on a file you want to copy and choose Copy.
4. Open the new Firefox profile folder.
5. Right-clickHold down the Ctrl key while you click inside the profile folder and choose Paste Item.
Repeat steps 2-5 for each file you wish to transfer over to your new profile folder.
While copying your personal data from an old Firefox profile to a new Firefox profile, it is possible that you could copy over the file that is causing the problem you are trying to get rid of! The more files you copy over, the greater the chance of this happening. It is therefore recommended that:

Can't find the bookmarks backup/restore menu in the new version ..

I can't find the bookmarks backup/restore menu, or the organize bookmarks menu at all in your new version. For starters, couldn't even find the bookmark icon on the right hand side of the navigation bar as instructed in your instructions.

"Organize Bookmarks" has been renamed to "Show All Bookmarks" in the bookmarks menu.

I can isolate a bookmark with the filter, but how can I "find" a bookmark in the hierarchy of the ShowAllBookmarks window?

I want to find a bookmark in its location in the hierarchy of bookmarks, but all I can do with the filter is isolate a bookmark[s]; either using the filter of the bookmarks sidebar, or in the ShowAllBookmarks window. For instance, I know I have a certain bookmark, but I want to move it into a new "folder" and rename it, perhaps; for this I need to be able to *see* it in the hierarchy, as in the Finder of a Mac, when the filter turns up a file, then "Show Original" of "Open Enclosing Folder."

I'm just trying to understand how to use these add-ons, having just added them on, to borrow a phrase, but have now found a comment re Go Parent Folder, "This extension does not seem to work in MacOS X. " <http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=659690>. Sadly [altho I really like Snow Leopard] I'm running OS X.6.7. Nonetheless a contextual menu mousing down on a "found" bookmark indeed does give the working option of "Go to Parent Folder" from the found list of the ShowAllBookmarks window, *or* the that of the sidebar window. Bravo!!
Just a question again, how would I have learned this had I not bothered the entire forum, and taken cor-el's time/effort?

I upgraded from Windows XP to Windows 7 and now I can't find my bookmarks. How do I get them back?

My new computer has Windows 7 on it. My old computer had Windows XP. I have my old hard drive from my old computer, but even when I connect it to my new computer, I can't find my Firefox bookmarks. I can only find my Internet Explorer favorites. Any idea how I can retrieve my bookmarks?

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
"Application Data" in XP/Win2K and "AppData" in Vista/Windows 7 are hidden folders.<br />
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders
Go to: Control Panel > Folder Options > "View" tab > under "Hidden files and folders", select "Show hidden files and folders"
You may want to uncheck the box "Hide extensions for known file types" to see the file extensions of all files
XP:
* x:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\
Vista/Windows 7:
* x:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\

I can't find the bookmarked websites that I traqnsfered from explorer, where do i go to find them

I just downloaded firefox, I also tried to download my bookmarked favorites for internet explorer, i can't find them, where do i look for them?

User folder/home folder with your user name Pictures. Go to Finder/Preferences/SidebarFavorite and make sure the last box with your user name is selected.

On my Mac, in , I can't find the bookmark file-nothing by that name. Want to drag into Mercury App on iTunes to download to my iPad! Where do I find the file?

I can't find the Firefox bookmarks file on my Mac. Have looked in Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/[the only one.default].I should be looking in the correct spot, as described above. Firefox for Mac has no facility to "export" the bookmarks either.

I can't find my bookmarks since this format was changed

Without my consent the format switched to this new one- and now I can't find my stored bookmarks.

hello, i'm not sure what you're referring to by switched/new format - however the following article will probably help: [[Recover lost or missing Bookmarks]]

Where can i find the bookmark icon in my computer

im trying to get the icone so i can put the same bookmark in another computer.

You want to move bookmarks from Firefox on computer #1 to Firefox on computer #2?
You have two options: Backup/Restore and Export/Import. The difference is that a "restore" completely replaces whatever appears on the destination system. An "import" adds to whatever is on the destination system, and then you have to reorganize the bookmarks into the proper places.
Here are the support articles with the steps for how to create a backup or export file and then how to restore or import it:
* [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]]
* [[Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file to back up or transfer bookmarks]]
* [[Import Bookmarks from an HTML file]]
Make sense?

Where can I find my bookmarks so I can backup on DVD in case of a crash

Hello
I already had one HD crash and although I did manage to resurrect all my stuff that wasn't backed up I would like to prepare myself in case it happens again.
Does anyone know where I can locate my current Bookmarked pages so I can back them up onto a DVD in case of a future crash?
Thanks for your help.

Hello anna:
Incidentally, running back level software (OS X 10.5.1 instead of OS X 10.5.8) is, IMHO, a prescription for future problems.
Actually, my first post pointed you to the bookmark file. However, that is probably irrelevant as we are, I think, at a different point. By the by, you are far more "techie" than I as I would not have ever tried to replace a HD.
I think your objective is to get your external configuration transferred to your internal HD on your eMac (things would run somewhat faster for you, I think). If that is correct, let me suggest an approach. You first will need a backup of your system (the one that you run from on your external HD). I suggest that you make two different backups (as I outlined above). I am assuming through all this you are booted from your external HD - the one with your system.
1. I recommend you get SuperDuper ($28 US at www.shirt-pocket.com).
2. Attach your second external HD (lets call it HD #2) to your eMac and partition it into two partitions using disk utility (one somewhat larger than your internal eMac HD, the other one with the rest of the space.
3. Open Time Machine and point it at the HD #2 "big partition" that you set up.
4. Time Machine will make a copy of your existing system (the first one takes quite a while).
5. Make a bootable clone (I suggested SuperDuper above) of your existing system in the other partition on your HD #2.
At this point (if I have not missed something) you will have two discrete backups of your entire system on HD #2.
Now I would move your entire system from HD #2 to your internal eMac using either of the copies (erase and format the internal HD first). The bootable clone can, itself, be booted (that is redundant). If you want to use the TM backup, you would need to boot from your software install DVD on your eMac.
Now you would boot from your eMac and have two copies of your system (at that point in time) on HD #2. HD #1 could then be used for anything you wish. In my own case, I am paranoid about backups so I have two external HDs with bootable clones of my system plus one Time Machine backup.
If I have thoroughly confused you or you do not want to go through all of this, the answer to your question is yes:
Does that matter though, should I just back up the file and expect it to work if I then drop it into my emac HD?
In any event, ask more questions if I (or anyone else) has confused you or not addressed your issues to your satisfaction.
Barry
P.S. The reason I suggested two backups is the fact that Time Machine backs up a system each hour automatically. Restoring part or all of a system is relatively easy.
