How To Export Your Bookmarks in Firefox

Export Firefox Bookmarks: Save Your Favorites in a Flash

Why export your Firefox bookmarks? Bookmarks are your internet treasure map—don’t lose them! Exporting to an HTML file lets you back them up or jump ship to another browser like Chrome or Edge. It’s a quick trick to keep your links safe or take them anywhere. Let’s zip through the steps to export your Firefox bookmarks in 2025, no fuss, all flair.

Step 1: Open the Firefox Library

Launch Firefox on your computer.
In the top-right corner, click the menu button (three horizontal lines).
From the dropdown menu, click on Bookmarks.
- Alternatively, you can press Ctrl + Shift + O (on Windows) or Command + Shift + O (on macOS) to open the Library directly.

Step 2: Open the Bookmark Manager

Once inside the Bookmarks menu, click on Manage Bookmarks at the bottom of the dropdown.
- This will open the Library window, showing all your bookmarks.

Step 3: Export Your Bookmarks

In the Library window, click on the Import and Backup button at the top.
From the dropdown menu, select Export Bookmarks to HTML.
- This will open a file dialog window where you can choose where to save the HTML file.

Step 4: Save the Exported File

Choose the location on your computer where you want to save the bookmarks file (e.g., Desktop, Documents, or a specific folder).
Name the file (e.g., firefox_bookmarks.html) and click Save.

Step 5: Backup or Import the Bookmarks

Now that your bookmarks have been exported as an HTML file, you can:

Backup: Keep this file as a backup of your bookmarks.
Transfer: Use the file to import your bookmarks into another browser, such as Google Chrome, Safari, or Microsoft Edge.

To import bookmarks into another browser, you’ll typically find an Import option in that browser’s bookmarks or settings menu, where you can select the HTML file you exported from Firefox.

Conclusion: Bookmarks Safe, Ready to Roam

Exporting Firefox bookmarks is a 2-minute win—Library, export, save, done. Your HTML file’s a portable vault for backups or browser hops. Pair with Firefox Sync for cloud ease, or keep it old-school with local files. Whether on an AlexHost server or your laptop, your links are locked and loaded. Go save those faves!
