Club 80-90 Forums

Hi there, when I'm on 80-90 I bookmark useful threads that will help keep the van on the road and other useful info. So I've now got quite a long list of folders and sub-folders in Firefox and would hate to lose them. Does anyone know if it's possible to create a back-up copy of these bookmarks in case the computer suddenly died? We're using Windows XP.

is there not a folder in the main root tree labeled "Favorates"?
I dont use firefox ( i use netcaptor - loads better and more established) so not sure, but if there is, make a copy of that favs folder and save it somewhere........

go to bookmarks, organise bookmarks, opens new browser session, file, export. This will create a file called bookmarks.html. If you ever need to re-import them follow same sequence but choose import & navigate to where bookmarks.html is located.

What wibble said.

And after you have taken the dodgy links out can you send it to me please

Might be quite useful. Downloads section perhaps ?

go the the firefox add-ons web page and down load foxmarks, it then keeps a copy online and you can update / reset ur favs from there.

i use it as ive got a mac at home, a pc at the gf's and whenever im at a mates and need summit i can still get all my favs

Thanks everyone, I'll hopefully get chance to have a look at this tonight. I like the sound of online bookmarks that I can access from a variety of locations. That's why I use web based email, but I didn't realise that I could have access to my bookmarked web pages as well!

delicious is also an online bookmarks program and has a plugin for firefox.

or try google bookmarks...similar to foxmarks - transportable and very useful if you access using multiple computers - at different times I should add.
