dude67 Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 I cannot access Windows atm, but in Mandriva FF I can open "Organize bookmars" (in Bookmarks menu) and there choose "Import and export". There export it to html and then import then this file within your linux FF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianw1974 Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 As dude67 says, go into Bookmarks, then Organise Bookmarks, then you have the option to make a backup of them. Using the backup method, exports to a json file that you can then import again on your other system. I've never used the export to html option but I expect it works just as good. Make the backup, copy to a USB stick, and then repeat the same method, except restoring them on the Linux machine. Simple really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude67 Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 Well, I've always used the html backup and it has worked fine. Although I have not used it in a couple of years, I would expect it to work just fine. Just give it a go, you won't lose anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
