Export bookmarks
From MozillaZine Knowledge Base
You can save a copy of your bookmarks to an HTML file, using the Export feature of the Bookmarks Manager.
- Mozilla Suite/SeaMonkey: "Bookmarks -> Manage Bookmarks... -> Tools -> Export..."
- Firefox 2 and below:: "Bookmarks -> Organize (or Manage) Bookmarks... -> File -> Export..."
- Firefox 3: "Bookmarks -> Organize Bookmarks -> Import and Backup -> Export HTML..."
- If "Export HTML..." does not work (no bookmarks HTML file is saved) see Unable to export bookmarks to HTML file - Firefox.
- To save a bookmarks file in JSON format (for use in Firefox 3 only), use "Import and Backup -> Backup..."
Bookmarks exported to an HTML file can be used for backup, in case of future problems with your bookmarks, and can also be used for importing bookmarks into other browser. See Import bookmarks and Restoring bookmarks from backup for more information.
Note: You can set Firefox 3 to automatically export your bookmarks at exit to the Firefox profile folder "bookmarks.html" file by setting browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML to true but this may delay browser shutdown if you have a large number of bookmarks. [1]
