where does fire fox hide the favorite file.......going to change the hard drive

Do a export, you can't just copy them from somewhere.

Go to organize bookmarks and export to html, you can later import that html again

Good pointer is to get a look at your logins and passwords stored, take a screenshot of it make sure you unhide the passwords first

I'd export them and then back that up..

Bookmarks - Organise Bookmarks - Import and Backup...

Hope that helps. Obviously Import them back in on the fresh build!

cheers guys

On my PC it is:

Cocuments and SettingsusernameApplication DataMozillaFirefoxProfilesProfile namebookmarks.html

If you back up that file you should be able to copy it to the new PC

You can just take the entire directory under the profiles (inc the weird directory name that ends in .default) then you change the profiles.ini to reflect that directory name in your new install.

Its all on the firefox site if you search for it.

That way you'll get EVERYTHING inc your stored passwords etc etc

sorted thanks lads

Even easier if you us Mozbackup -- backs up & transfers all Firefox and Thunderbird settings
