Hey out there! I just got a flash drive, it's not a big one, but it's a
start. Trying to plan ahead in case anything happens to computer. Was
wondering if there is a way to back-up all the pages I have bookmarked. I
usually use Firefox for my browser& have quite a few pages bookmarked, as
well as a few add-ons. Is there a way to save these to flash drive? I have
all my pictures& music saved, any other suggestions on what else to put on
flash drive? Anything important or crucial that I should not forget? Thanks
for any help or suggestions! :0)


If you're wanting to backup your Mozilla Bookmarks and settings then you
need MozBackup available at http://mozbackup.jasnapaka.com/. It will
backup all of your bookmarks, settings, and add-ons and allow you to
store the backup file anywhere you specify.



FF 3.x also backs up bookmarks to a folder in the profile named, "bookmarkbackups". They are in the newer JSON format. I think the default is six backup copies, but that can be modifed.
