Firefox Favourites

**101RRS** · 27th October 2008, 09:52 PM

Does anyone know where Firefox stores your Favourites on a Win Xp system. I always thought it was with the IE favouites in the favourites folder in Documents and Settings but it is not so.

I just did a clean install so that AULRO would run quicker (it doesn't) and have lost all my old Firefox favourites but could recover them from my backups if I know where to look for them.

Thanks

Garry

You know that you can store your favorites on an external database and synchronise them.
Its in Firefox addons.
I suppose a bit late now, but if you had done it before the rebuild, it should have then restored them as a synchronisation.

Which addon?

I've recently switched over to Delicious, bookmarks are stored on the web and you can add meta tags to them, which seems like a good thing.

Not that I'm much help with bookmarks, I stopped using them, and although I've bookmarked heaps of stuff in Delicious, most if it is pages I wanted to get off the screen but thought I might want to come back to. Haven't actually used it yet to open a page.

Oh, and it will also store the same bookmarks in your Firefox bookmarks.

Go to your favorites.
There should be one called Mozilla Firefox
Go to customise Firefox
then to" see all addons"
Then you will see Foxmarks come up.

Thanks Steve - the link provided me with the filepath to the favouites - just copied the files from the backup to replace the ones on my new system. Works a treat.

Thanks - and thanks to everyone else for your comments.

The clean install hasn't made AULRO any faster - must be the popularity of the site

.
