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?

Lets try it a different way, by going into your Profile folder.
It's a hidden file. Set windows to show hidden files, How to see hidden files in Windows then navigate to: C:\ Documents and Settings \ "your user name" \ Application Data \ Mozilla \ Firefox \ Profiles \ default \ Bookmarks.html -------------------- I love being married.
It's so great to find that one special person you want to annoy, for the rest of your life. |
