Back up the bookmarks here...


C:\Documents and Settings\Your User Name\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\lyz9v3fc.default\bookmarks.html

Firefox stores its bookmarks under the folder of

C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\PROFILENAME\

as bookmarks.html.

Alternatively you may want to use this simple utility for creating backups of your bookmarks.

Hi wombat - our folder is almost similar. While yours have lyz9v3fc.default mine is uuubnzrz.default I just noticed the distinction.

Firefox -> Bookmarks -> Manage Bookmarks -> File -> Export to wherever you like

G'day XpUser, I think the xxxxxxx.default folder is just a local computer naming thingy. It should help the OP find his folder to back as well...
