But I want backup my bookmarks, but all info that I found about bookmarks backup you need a working firefox to save them.

How to change the directory where firefox stores the bookmarks

I want to setup firefox so it will store all files, including the bookmarks, to another directory than the default directory.
example d:\backup\mozilla\firefox\
This will make it easier for me to backup these files.
How can I do this ?

Try using profile manager that may allow you to setup a profile on the d:\ drive if so that is where the bookmarks will then be stored. (If that does not work resort to manually editing the profile.ini)

Where do I find the master folder where Firefox stores all bookmarks on my computer - like the favorites folder on IE?

My bookmarks area mess with many duplicates. I want to sort them, eliminate the dupes. The Organize bookmarks function is too slow.

Firefox can't renew it's last tabs and now won't run and let me do a backup

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

I have imported bookmarks from Safari to Firefox but the bookmarks bar does not change in Firefox and match that of Safari. That's the part I need most. Any ideas why? Also, I don't see where to choose for Firefox to be my default browser.

I use a Imac with OS 10.6.7. I've just uploaded Firefox 4. I had Firefox 3 already but do not use it often. I've been using Safari. I imported bookmarks from Safari to Firefox, but the bookmarks bar in Firefox did not change to match that of Safari, and that's where the important bookmarks are. Any ideas?
Also, I can't find where to choose Firefox as my default browser.

Copy the files from the old Profile into the new Profile, replacing the existing files that are in the new Profile. That will make your new installation just like the old one.
Or if you just want your bookmarks, copy only the '''places.sqlite''' file from the old Profile into the new Profile.

How can I backup/save my Firefox for Android bookmarks?

I would like to be able to save/export/backup my Firefox for Android bookmarks to a file on my Samsung Tab 2 tablet for safety.
How can this be done or CAN it even be done.
Thanks

They cannot be backed up to a file. You can use Firefox Sync, https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-set-up-firefox-sync

Restore Firefox bookmark backup doesn´t work (with firefox backup tool 1.0) Help :-(

Hello, i have a big problem with restoring my Firefox bookmarks and passwords with " Firefox Backup Tool" Its a "....fbk" file.
My laptop had some problems so i made a new system set up. Backup with "Mozbackup" didn´t work.( Error message) so i used "Firefox Backup Tool 1.0" for backup all my bookmarks. The program said "backup succesful" and i got a 12mb ..fbk file. But when i tried restoring it, it says "restore successful" but there is nothing in Firefox when i start the program and look for the bookmarks. :-( I tried it over 10 times and older versions.. Firefox 23 or 3.6 etc.... nothing works.
Can someone help me to get my bookmarks back? Or can i open the jpk file manually and copy it in firefox?
thanks.
Anna

Try open the file with NotePad
Click on the file with right mouse button then click on "open with" and select "notepad"

Installed a newer version of firefox, now all bookmarks, toolbars etc gone - cannot restart firefox - help!

not sure what details you want here - seems that Firefox is running in safe mode and I can find noway to restart it. viewed some restart download shortcuts and says they are not applicable to the new version.

You should have done a backup of your bookmarks, first.
Depending upon how old a version of Firefox you were using before, you should search your hard drive for a file named '''places.sqlite''' which is the file where Firefox stores bookmarks in modern versions - Firefox 3.0 and later.

Criar Backups de bookmarks.html periodicamente em local pre-determinado pelo usuário.Grato!!

Se o usuário tiver um problema com o sistema, com partições de disco separando arquivos pessoais de arquivos de sistema, nada se perde,só o que mais importa nos navegadores "Os Favoritos". Portanto uma ferramenta capaz de criar backups de hora em hora ou tempo e local definido no perfil de usuário. Seria muito Bom!
A idéia é estimular a criação de uma ferramenta que Crie Backups de bookmarks.html periodicamente em local pre-determinado pelo usuário.

I had upgraded to firefox 3.0 years ago and lost my firefox 2.0 bookmarks. How do I retrieve them? I keep getting only one bookmark from the html file.

Years back I had installed Firefox 3.0 (at launch, so not beta) into a separate program folder. After installation, I expected to have my bookmarks saved. Recently I found out my bookmarks were in application data and I found out I had one profile. That meant that my firefox 2.0 bookmarks were replaced.
I read up on the FAQs and it stated that bookmark backups only save the previous 5 days or so, so I don't think they are usable though I have them saved. The bookmarks.html file in my profile shows only one bookmark after importing it into firefox 3.5 and firefox 2.0 (downgraded back to check it out), google chrome, and internet explorer. I still have the bookmarks.bak and bookmarks.html.bak files as well.
A little backstory before I got up to this point because it's a bit convoluted because I thought I could retrieve them like IE favorites which were easy:
1) Switched to Firefox 2.0 from Internet Explorer and got several hundred bookmarks.
2) Got HyperBookmarks add-on which bugged up and replaced my previous bookmarks folder though it stated in FAQs that my original Firefox 2.0 bookmarks were in a separate folder so I didn't worry about it.
3) Upgraded to Firefox 3.0 and it replaced all my bookmarks with nothing in bookmarks list. I thought it was saved because I installed Firefox 3.0 in a separate folder.
4) Retrieved 3.0 Bookmarks and Archived them, but wasn't able to find Firefox 2.0 Bookmarks (original) nor the HyperBK version, except in HyperBk Backups folder.

In the "Edit this Bookmark" window, use the 2nd drop-down button, that is to the right of the "Folder", to open a larger window that will allow more folder to appear. See the sloppy red arrow on the screenshot below.

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.

After I upgraded to Firefox 5 my bookmarks disapeared, how do I get them back? Thank you

After I upgraded to Firefox 5 my bookmarks disapeared, how do I get them back? Thank you

Thanks, Huntress, but it's not in More either. I'm talking about the genius button/atom icon that used to appear in the center/top part of the screen while a song plays in the music player, like in this image (I used to be able to tap the atom icon to create a genius playlist on my iphone):
Now, when I play a song, there is no atom icon/genius button like in the following image. I've already tried tapping where it used to be and it doesn't come back.

I cannot find out where to organize my bookmarks in any of the bookmark dropdowns. I can only do it one by one. Is there a way to do mass organization?

Question

In previous versions you could select organize bookmarks. In this version it is gone. I would imagine that since FF now can sync across multiple devices, the ability to organize from any of those becomes more important. Selecting one bookmark at a time to delete or move is too tedious for people with hundreds or thousands of bookmarks.

The way bookmarks are managed has not changed. You now access to the Library window by selecting Bookmarks > Show all bookmarks from the Firefox menu.
For more info, see:
* [[Sorting bookmarks]]
* [[Bookmark folders]]
Note: To prevent interferences between versions 3.6 and Beta, use a specific [[Managing profiles|profile]] for Firefox 4.0 Beta.

How do I backup My bookmarks?

I am changing out my hard drive and need to backup my bookmarks on Carbonite

''If you use tags in your bookmarks,'' make sure to back up a recent .JSON file from your bookmarkbackups folder (or create a fresh backup). The .HTML export is an older format that is cross-browser compatible, but it doesn't include the tags.
To get the bookmarks from the .JSON file to your new Firefox, this article has the steps: [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]].
