Firefox bookmarks back up?

geranimo:// · 09-16-2006, 05:00 PM

Is there anywhere Firefox backs up bookmarks? After some kind of Windows crash, I lost all my bookmarks (in FF at least, don't know if they're backed up anywhere)

*Edit: Never mind, I found them

Aparently FF backs them up automatically.

You can find the back ups in c:\documents & settings\all users(or your name if you have an account)\application data(hidden)\mozilla\firefox\profiles\xxxx.default \bookmarksbackup

So if something happens, you just go to the bookmarks manager in FF, click on 'File', then 'import, then you select 'from file', and go to that location, then you just pick the newest one.

Hope that helped.
