    Hi

    i want to be able to locate where my bookmarks are saved on the computer hard drive. I can access them from google chrome on the bookmarks toolbar but want to back them up on external hard-drive

    finding it hard locating it, is there a way to find it? or export it to Mozilla and then locate them in the Mozilla folders?

    stuck here, urgent assistance required

    thanks in advance.

    will do.

    yh it saves it as a HTML File then with all my links in there. i'll show you an example below;

    found a solution for you all;

    To import it
    In Firefox 4.0, click bookmarks,
    click show all bookmarks,
    Click Import and Backup tab
    Click import HTML
    then navigate to where you exported your origional HTML file you mentioned


    (in chrome go to bookmark manager and export bookmarks, save the file somewhere safe, will be a HTML file then follow these steps)

    VOILA :)
