How to save all bookmarks in firefox. Save Mozilla Firefox bookmarks, create a file with browser bookmarks

A computer or laptop is primarily a technique that may need to reinstall the system or the Internet browser itself. Many negligent "assistants" do not take into account the fact that after reinstalling Windows, all user bookmarks are lost. For users, this becomes a real problem, because it is so familiar and convenient to immediately go to the desired and frequently visited site, and not to study the search engine.

Basic Rules for Saving Bookmarks in Mozilla

Backup copy

Fortunately, there is no need to save each tab separately. To do this, you should use a convenient option. First of all, open Mozilla and hold Alt on the keyboard, a context menu will appear on the screen. You need to go to the "Bookmarks" item, then go to the "Show all bookmarks" tab. In order not to do all the manipulations, when opening a browser page, use hot keys, namely, hold down Ctr + Shift + B at the same time.

In the window, go to "Import and backup", click on the "Create a backup copy" button. Specify the file name that will be most convenient in the future when searching. It is best to use the "Mozilla bookmarks date" format, where the date will be the reporting day. It is often necessary to save data today and a week ago, then this method will be the most practical. It is better to save a backup copy on external media, as there are more security guarantees.

In addition, you can export data to html. Such a copy is slightly different from the one described above, which has the json extension, but for Mozilla it is also completely understandable and readable. To do this, in the already familiar "Import and Backup" menu, select the "Export to HTML" item. Next, do the same manipulations with the storage location and document name.

Recovery

You have already reinstalled the browser or the system completely. Now it's time to return your bookmarks to their rightful place. This process is no more complicated than the previous one and takes no more than five minutes. Launch Mozilla and go through the same system under Bookmarks, Show All Bookmarks, Import and Backup. After that, select the "Restore backup from" item, the "Choose file" window will appear. Find the file you saved through the search or specify the path to it. Confirm your choice by pressing the "OK" button. You can check that all your bookmarks will be in place.

Synchronizing data in Mozilla

The Mozilla browser has a very practical feature for those who have to frequently reinstall Windows or work on different devices – cloud storage data. Using this feature, you can not chew that your bookmarks will be lost, and also use them from any device.

When using the cloud, your bookmarks will be stored on Mozilla's servers, where you can easily access them. First of all, you need to get an account on the site firefox.com. To register, you will need to fill out a small form on the official website, you only need to enter a valid email address mail, your date of birth and come up with strong password. Remember that security is paramount, it is better to make up a password from letters of different case with the addition of numbers. After registration, the system, as usual, sends a confirmation letter to the email address.

Once you have confirmed all the data, you can check that the account is automatically logged in, and you can start synchronizing the data. To do this, open the browser, call the menu with the Alt button and go to "Tools", then to the "Settings" item. A window will open where you need to select the "Synchronization" tab. Here the user can see that the data is already automatically synchronized with the Mozilla server, if necessary, you can uncheck those items that can not be added to the cloud storage.

However, when working with a large number of tabs, there is a possibility that the necessary tabs, which in no case should be lost, will still be closed due to the user's inattention.

If you no longer need a pinned tab, right-click on it and select from the menu that appears "Unpin tab", after which it will return to its original form. Here you can immediately close it without first unfastening it.
