Hi,

First I want to make you a compliment about all those practical and useful tutorials.

I am trying to make a copy of my bookmarks (I am using Mozilla Firefox) with the help of BC's manual. But I run into a problem. The manual says (Step 2):

Quote

Click on Start then click on Run. Type favorites in the Open field and press the OK button.

If I do that I see a list of IE Favorites (which is logical) but I am working with Mozilla Firefox so my complete and most recent list is under MF. I found a 17KB HTML file in: C:\Program files\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\profile but cannot open it to see the bookmarks.

Do you have a suggestion? :thumbsup:

Lets try it a different way, by going into your Profile folder.
It's a hidden file.
Set windows to show hidden files,

then navigate to:
C:\ Documents and Settings \ "your user name" \ Application Data \ Mozilla \ Firefox \ Profiles \ default \ Bookmarks.html
