Where is the bookmarks file saved?

I sdearched for the bookmarks file on my computer, but couold not get an answer. Where is it saved?

Firefox stores the bookmarks and the history in a SQLite database file places.sqlite<br />
You can export the bookmarks to an HTML file if you want a backup.

Can the bookmarks be portable to other Macs and if so, where is the bookmark file found?

Would like to coordinate bookmarks from one Mac to another. Can I just setup my master bookmarks on my MBP, then move that library file wherever it lives to another Mac? Where do the bookmark files reside?

Hi Thomas
if you want an exact replica of the bookmarks, including the bookmarks bar - copy
Home/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist to the same folder on the second mac, with Safari quit.
If you want to add to those already there - it's the same file, but use Safari - File - Import Bookmarks... on mac #2
this will create a new 'collection' in Bookmarks containing all those on mac #1, but won't erase any existing ones.

I do not keep my bookmarks on the boot drive. WHere is the bookmarks file located and how do I move it in Firefox 8,0,?

What is the name of the bookmaks file in Firefox 8.0.1?
How can I designate a different location for the bookmarks file?
Thanks,
Ed

Hi,
The '''places.sqlite''' file in your [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] stores the bookmarks and the history. This is what you see in '''Bookmarks''' ('''Alt''' + '''B''') and '''History''' ('''Alt''' + '''S''') or in the window of '''Show All History''' ('''Ctrl''' + '''Shift''' +'''H''') and '''Show All Bookmarks''' ('''Ctrl''' + Shift + '''B'''). The '''bookmarkbackups''' folder in your profile contains dated backups of just the bookmarks which shows up in '''Import and Backup''' > '''Restore''' section of the '''Show All History''' / '''Show All Bookmarks''' window.

Asha 501 - Where does the downloaded file saved?

Hi,
I've downloaded couple of files from the browser...I can see the files in the downloaded list of nokia browser..but cannot see the files in the memory card...
I've downloaded ".jar" and ".jad" extension files..2 files..
Plz help...

Hi Singh,
No they are not there in the downloaded folder. After downloading it prompted me to install it. I selected not to install it. I can see all the other files downloaded there but cannot see these two files.
I again tried to download them into the browser..but this time it throws me error message 'error" and then exits...
I guess its behaving like this because I selected the option "no" when it initially prompted me..
I'm afraid that my phone gets virus if I connect to my system to I'm doing this way...Any other ideas....would be helpful...
Thanks for your support...

Where is the bookmarks stored?
I Install the Firefox once again since I upgrade my computer.
And I try to move the bookmarks from the old computer to the new one.
But I can't find anyone of them.
Is there any folder just like "favourite" to store the html file?
I really want to find out the bookmarks because actually i can't remember all the website that are important to me~ URGENT!!!~THANKS~

You can move file named places.sqlite from your old profile to the new one. It contains bookmarks and browsing history.
Here's a knowledge base article about it: [[Recovering important data from an old profile]]
If you don't care about saving your current bookmarks, you can skip creating new profile (Firefox does it by itself at first run anyway).
I'd might suggest you to install addon https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2410/|Xmarks Bookmark and Password Sync]. It is a free web service which synchronizes bookmarks and (optionally) passwords with central server, and then to other computers, if you installed it on more. You may treat is as a backup too.

How can I do automatic backup of Firefox bookmarks? What is the name of the bookmarks file and where is it probably located in Windows?

I want to back up Firefox bookmarks automatically. I know that Firefox has manual bookmark export and bookmark. Can it be automatic? If not I will use backup software to do it, but I need to know the name of the bookmark file and where it is located on my hard drive. .

Firefox stores both bookmarks and browsing history in the file '''places.sqlite''' in the Firefox profile folder . On Windows 7, the Firefox profile folder location is something like:
C:\Users\"your username"\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\'''xxxxxxxx.default''' but this location is hidden by default. See [[Profiles]] for help finding the profile folder.
Firefox bookmarks are already backed up automatically.
The bookmark backups are stored as dated .json files in the Firefox profile folder, under the subfolder, '''bookmarkbackups'''. You can restore a bookmark backup file using the information here:
*[[Backing up and restoring bookmarks]]
For additional information, see:

Where is the bookmarks.html file ?

My customers PC crashed. I try to copy the Bookmarks to a new PC. I can not find the right bookmarks.html file, only the default and th bookmarkbackups directory with those *.json files.
BTW: is there some intelligible reason, why the bookmark file of Firefox as well as the mail-directories in Thunderbird are in a directory structure hidden from the user ?!

Hiding the appdata or roaming path in Windows is Microsoft's doing, not Mozilla. Other than IE, every other browser I have ever used has stored bookmarks in their own set of folders in the appdata or roaming file path.
The bookmarks.html file hasn't been used for storing since the Firefox 2.0 versions, in later versions it is used to install the default bookmarks primarily when the user creates a new Profile and upon the initial installation of Firefox, and it also is part of the process of "importing" bookmarks from other browsers the user may have installed.
The '''places.sqlite''' file is where bookmarks and browsing history is stored in Firefox 3.0 and later versions.
See this:<br />http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Recovering+important+data+from+an+old+profile
Your old Profile is located here in Vista & Win7: <br />
''drive'':\Users\''Windows login user name''\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\''profile_name''

How to upload words, exel, PDF file from the pc via itune to the iPad, and where will the uploaded file be saved? In the apps?

How to upload words, exel, PDF file from the pc via itune to the iPad, and where will the uploaded file be saved? In the apps?

You will need an app (or apps) on your iPad that is capable of reading the documents, as they will be saved with the app - if you don't have such an app then there is nothing to transfer them to or to read/access them.
One method of transferring them is toconnect your iPad to your computer's iTunes, select it's app tab, and then scroll to the bottom of it - you should the apps That you've got that are capable of file-sharing (if you've got any). Selecting/high-lighting one of them should then allow you to add files to it via the box to the right of it.
An alternative way to get the documents onto your iPad is if the app that you want to transfer them to has a wifi setting, which will then allow you to transfer the documents wirelessly. You can also send the documents to yourself as attachments and then use Mail's 'open in' facility to copy them into your chosen app.
Edit : more info on file sharing from the manual :
File Sharing lets you transfer files between iPad and your computer. You can share files created with a compatible app and saved in a supported format.
Apps that support file sharing appear in the File Sharing Apps list in iTunes. For each app, the Files list shows the documents that are on iPad. See the app’s documentation for how it shares files; not all apps support this feature.
Connect iPad to your computer.
In iTunes, select iPad in the Devices list, then click Apps at the top of the screen.
In the File Sharing section, select an app from the list on the left.
On the right, select the file you want to transfer, then click “Save to” and choose a destination on your computer.
Transfer a file from your computer to iPad:
Connect iPad to your computer.
In iTunes, select iPad in the Devices list, then click Apps at the top of the screen.
In the File Sharing section, click Add.
Select a file, then click Choose (Mac) or OK (PC).
The file is transferred to your device and can be opened using an app that supports that file type. To transfer more than one file, select each additional file.
Delete a file from iPad: Select the file in the Files list, then tap Delete.

One file named '''places.sqlite''' in your Profile folder, which also contains your browsing history.

Stickies, where is the backup file?

Stickies, where is the backup file?
I saved some u/n and p/w data in stickies on my older bronze (which I now need) and reformatted the disk when attempting to install OSX (which failed time and time again), but I'm hoping that I saved the Stickies data somewhere on a cd backup? I can only hope, but ran out of places to look ... any suggestions? Where is stickies data stored? ..... and where and how does everyone else store passwords and usernames and such?

Hi, Dennis -
One way to handle spam is to use an email service provider which allows the generation of alias email addresses. One such is Apple's .Mac service - the email service provided as part of a .Mac account includes the option of creating as many aliases to the real account address as one wishes.
An aliased email address can be given or posted where needed, and any mail sent to it ends up in the 'real' account. Once the alias address starts drawing excessive spam, the alias can be discarded.

Destop version 6.0.0.43 Where has the cab file gone?

Hi,
I just upgraded my desktop version and when I do my backup now I only see one file from the back up.
blackberry9300.ipd             the size is about 786 ko
before with the older desktop version 5.0 the backup used to create 2 files
blackberry.ipd                      size is   806 ko
blackberry9300.cab            size is 27 000 ko
My question is where is the cab file with the new destop 6.0 version?
it's use to be saved in the same folder as the .ipd file
Did they change the format or file extension of the cab file?
The reason I want to find this file is because I like to backup the 2 files to an external hard drive.
thank you

Hey maj54,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
The way you had the synchronization setup, it seems like it was setup to synchronize the on-board memory and media as well.
Hook up the BlackBerry to your computer and enable mass storage mode.
Then click on backup and right below custom:
Files saved on my built in media storage should be check marked
once this is check marked it will will create the Cab file and ipd

Where is the Bookmarks backup/restore function ?

Where is the Bookmark backup/restore function ?

wchapgm: Please ref cor-el's response. Pretty informative.
And, Thank You both for your kind attention and assistance.
Lastly, note that there seems 2-B another issue.
The backup file format used in the older version isn't recognized by the new version !
So, unless I can find a work-around, I'll have to resort to some "manual transfers" of those resources.
