Can I send my bookmarks to email? I cant take my pc with me

[gunsmith]

no internet where I'll be moving to, though I hope to be able to get a laptop in a few weeks to use it at wifi spots in the neighborhood.
I use firefox, is there anyway to send all my bookmarks to an email then upload in a new laptop?
My tower is going into storage.

When you export bookmarks from Firefox it just saves them all in an html file. Couldn't you just attach that file to an email and then open it later and import your bookmarks back into Firefox?

That's exactly how you'd do it.  In fact, that's how I migrate my bookmarks from one system to another.

OK, it can be done.
Now, can you tell me how?

I looked at the "organizing bookmark" page nothing jumped out to me as obvious.

[gunsmith]

I went to file and clicked on import, is that it?
Where does it import too? how do I find it to attach to email?

You click on "export". This saves them to a file, which you can then send to yourself. . That's what I've figured out atleast...

[gunsmith]

You click on "export".

you don't mean "import" do you?

I can't find "export"

Firefox method:

BOOKMARKS:ORGANIZE BOOKMARKS:FILE:EXPORT:then save as the filename in the location of your choice.

[gunsmith]

well, I clicked import, and it said "import bookmarks" as well as the rest of the crap.
Well I imported it, where is it so I can stick it in email?

[Gewehr98]

NO.  Don't use IMPORT.  Use the pathway I posted above to save your Firefox bookmarks to a file in a location of your choosing, which you can then email to your next address.

There's another option as well.  Look up the add on 'Foxmarks'.  It allows you to create an online account to keep all your bookmarks, and synchronize them between multiple computers.  There's even a website you can log on to to get them.

oops, well I cant find where I imported it too anyway.

I did it your way, found file, export and attached it to email.
THANKS!!!!THANKS!!!!THANKS!!!!THANKS!!!!THANKS!!!!THANKS!!!!

NOW IN A FEW WEEKS i'LL GET TO TRY AND FIGURE OUT HOW TO...oop's sorry cap lock.

anyway, I'll get to figure out how to transfer to new (used ) laptop

I'll be an innernet expert, just in time for all tech to change again

my computer--> c drive--> documents and setting--> pick your name--> favorites

Try emailing this folder...

[Gewehr98]

Good.  If that didn't work, you could also grab the Firefox bookmarks.html file from the folder where it resides on your system, something like this:

C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ws3vrr0f.default

But you'd have to enable hidden file viewing to get to it. 

[gunsmith]

thanks again you guys, now I gotta do a million other things and no time to do it, see you in a couple of days.

Firefox 2 or 3?  3 stores them in a different way from 2, but they can be imported.  For 2, look for a file called (I think) bookmarks.html.

Are you guys gonna continue to advise gunsmith on exotic ways to accomplish his mission after he's crossed the LOD on said mission?

He's gone guys. Deal with it.
