Well,after playing around I think I got them saved to the desktop. Hope so anyway. I'll be back if the file doesn't work when I go to copy it to internet explorer.

You can always back them up on xmarks too.

Here is a link that might be useful: xmarks.

I'm an anti-download/needless utility person. People download silly utility after utility, and then wonder why their PCs run slowly.

A simple alternative, perhaps what you've vaguely described as what you did, goes like this:

Click on Bookmarks, Show All bookmarks, Import and Export, and then Export. You get to choose a file name and folder where the backup info is put. If you keep backup files (which you should), copy the file to that location or device too. Do a bookmark export periodically if you frequently add new ones.

To restore your bookmarks should you lose your Firefox bookmarks, click on the same things and then choose Import a file instead of the Export command that created it.

Yes snidely that's the way I ended up doing it. LOL I also had a backup done too. Thanks for replying to verify that that was the right thing to do. Like I said it had been a few years since the last time I redid my list. Merry Christmas!
