I have done this post before my blog crashed. Fortunately, I save all the images and the write-up. I hope you enjoy reading it.Have you reformatted your computer lately? If so, have you made a back up to all the important file, including the bookmarks? Are you using FireFox? If you have reformatted your computer and using FireFox as your web browser and didn’t back up your bookmarks, then you need to read this post so that next time you don’t lose your bookmarks in your FireFox browser. This post is also for those who are planning to reformat their computer. Follow these simple instructions:
1. Open FireFox - Do I need to tell you which icon to click?
2. Organized bookmarks eh? - Click ‘Bookmarks’ and click ‘Organize Bookmarks’. After that, a new window will appear.
3. Export your bookmark - This window is called Bookmark Manager. Click ‘File’ and then click ‘Export’.
4. Save it - Firefox will prompt you to save your bookmarks, so save it in a floppy disk (someone is still using this storage media), thumb drive or portable HD. In my case, I choose my thumb drive.
5. Importing bookmarks - After you have reinstall FireFox, go back to the bookmarks manager and click ‘Import’.
6. Choose correctly - You will be prompted to import either from ‘Microsoft Internet Explorer’ or ‘From File’. Select the second option and click ‘Next’. (If you want to import from MS IE, just repeat the same process and choose the first option.)
7. Open the ‘marked’ file - You have to find the export file that you saved earlier and open it.
8. You have succeeded! - You can see your imported bookmarks via bookmark manager.
9. There are no more steps…
Do you read the entire process until number 9? Then, you must be paying attention to what you read. Simply refer to the screenshot for a clear guide. Happy exporting and importing bookmark!

I prefer to use Bookmark Base for bookmark managing tasks: it’s blazing fast and has very powerful search embedded.

Yes, John…Bookmark Base is a very good software to manage our bookmark from computer to computer but unfortunately, we have to buy the full version
…I think I stick to my FREE technique..
