If you are like me you probably have 100s of bookmarks which you consider a part of your "resources collection".

One option is to use Delicious which saves all your bookmarks online.

But if you have lots of bookmarks in your Firefox toolbar you need to figure out how to backup those as well. Sometimes the most basic tasks are not so obviously done.

Anyway after a few minutes searching around I found this article

Backup and restoring

Manual backup

1. On the menu bar, click Bookmarks and select Show All Bookmarks to open the Library window.
   
2. In the Library window, click the Import and Backup button and then select Backup….
3. In the Bookmarks backup filename window that opens, choose a location to save the file, which is named bookmarks-”date”.json by default. The desktop is usually a good spot, but any place that is easy to remember will work.
4. Save the bookmarks json file. The Bookmarks backup filename window will close and you can close the Library window.

Aren't most bookmarks also stored in a folder on your hard drive? If you back up your computer regularly, then there shouldn't be a need.

True.
But if you are planning to go traveling and want to keep your bookmarks on a USB this is handy.

What has this got to do with web design?

Hello Lynn,

Here's the title of this particular forum:

i saw this and upgraded ym firefox from v8 to v12 and as far as I can tell there's no difference. I was expecting a change of layout at least. Maybe I'm too used to IE changing its looks every update...
