HOW TO BACKUP YOUR PASSWORD AND BOOKMACK ON FIREFOX





Quite a lot of Firefox users know this but there might still be a couple of people out there who do not know of this little tweak.



Saving Bookmarks



To back up your Bookmarks,

-Open Firefox

-Click on Bookmarks

-Click on Organize Bookmarks

-Go to Import and Backup

-Select Export HTML…

-Save it anywhere as a html file and you are done.



When you want your bookmarks back after a reinstall, simply import this file in the same way you exported it.



Backing up Saved Passwords



-Go to Documents and Settings > USERNAME > Application Data > Mozilla > Firefox > Profiles > cxhmjww8.default (this name is random)

-Backup the following files



+key3.db

+signons2.txt (if you’re using FF 2.0+)

+signons3.txt (if you’re using FF 3.0+)

+signons.sqlite (if you're using FF 3.5+)



These files contain data regarding your saved passwords. After a reinstall, overwrite these files back to this folder.
