Thanks for this. Just upgraded from 2.x and was worried for a minute there that it wasn’t possible to keep using bookmarks.html as the home page…

Here is the very easy solution.

Ignore all other suggestions.

Read this:

(Simply export .json bookmarks. Restore bookmarks with this file. Then export to HTML.)

TADAAAAA!

Easy as hell to find

1. Get to the location of a file named bookmark-YYYY-MM-DD.json (pick the last modified file), should be at “C:\Users\Firethefox\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\l0rewn2a.default\bookmarkbackups”.

2.open firefox, choose bookmarks-> organize bookmarks-> import & safetycopys -> re-establish (choose file).

3. now just select the file bookmark-YYYY-MM-DD.json and select OK. dØNE!

The autoexport puts bookmarks.html in the root of your profile directory. This is the same place as FFox 2.x kept the file.

Once you change this setting, where on Vista does Firefox 3 put the current bookmarks.html file? I’m looking for it in:

C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\45hgg2ef.default\bookmarkbackups

Is this the correct place?

Thanks!
