I just saved all my bookmarks to a separate file, because we want to
update soon! I hope someone comes along, Lara with an answer to this one! My husband just downloaded FF 2.0 to our new laptop which came on Tues. But it doesn't have any bookmarks yet! This will give me a chance to clean up my list...which has some old inactive links in it! Oh, Lara... I would have had major palpitations, if that had happened to me! How did you get them back?

didn't see the new version yet - maybe just as well
can you roll back farther?? I have up graded netscape & FF many times before and never had a problem but I always cross import all my bookmarks so If one has a prob i can use the other browser. and re import bookmarks/passwords ect. now I'll be nervous about upgrading FF. keep us updated on it |

FYI for those with Firefox
To backup bookmarks in Firefox: Click on: Bookmarks Manage bookmarks File Export Then choose a name and location to save to. Lara, If you have a USB port the flash drives are cheaper than floppies. Although you can get high capacity ones, my favorite is the 64 megabyte (that = 44 floppies) for $9.99 at Staples. You can hang them on a string or Velcro them to the side of your computer. |

My son today had this suggestion for protecting your bookmarks when
updating to Firefox 2.0... He says to download FF 2 using IE. We have not downloaded it yet...but I did export my bookmarks to a new file, just in case.

I use http://murl.com for my bookmarks. That way I can access them from any computer and, if I install a Microsoft upgrade which blows away my operating system I can still access my bookmarks.
I've been using this guy's product for years. The server uptime is unbelievable. You can mark your bookmarks public/private -- I make the ones that I want to share with others (like my medical-reseach and my job-hunting bookarks) public, I download a copy periodically to my harddrive just in case. 'cause I did have one company years and years ago go out of business (this was a service that I paid for) so ... Barb |
