Just a quick technical issue today, about Mozilla Firefox bookmarks.
The Problem
Like many people, I maintain two computers, mainly as a backup should one ever have any “issues”, like a computer virus or a hardware crash. Often, I find a site that I like and want to refer back to, so I bookmark it. Rather than have tow computers running simultaneously, I use one most of the time, and update the other with programs and of course, my firefox bookmarks.
You’d expect to be able to simply go to ‘Bookmarks’/Organize Bookmarks and then select and “right click/delete” them, but this isn’t possible in Firefox 3. Before you do anything, make a backup html file of the bookmarks in your main computer (Bookmarks/Organize Bookmarks/Import and Backup). Click the ‘Backup’ to save an HTML file, preferably to a Flash thumb-drive device.
What To Do
Instead, here is what you have to do:
1. Click ‘Start’
2. Click ‘All programs’
3. Find your Mozilla folder
4. Click it open
5. Select ‘Mozilla Firefox (Safe Mode)
You’ll see this box appear:
7. Select ‘Reset bookmarks to Firefox defaults’
8. Click ‘Make Changes and Restart’
What Then?
This resets (and therefore removes) your bookmarks. Then it’s simply a matter of going to ‘Bookmarks/Organize bookmarks/Import and Backup’ and finally ‘Import HTML’, which will be waiting on your Flash thumb-drive.
It’s allways a good idea to keep bookmarks on a flash drive anyway, so you you travel with it and have access to all your favorite sites when you’re on somebody else’s computer.
Hope this helps.
