Chosen solution

Hi, to delete bookmarks: Open bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks, select, then right click > Delete. To delete more than one at time, hold down Ctrl while selecting them.


If you want to copy bookmarks to another machine, you can try using Sync: How do I set up Sync on my computer?


Or, plug a USB flash drive into your old machine, then in Firefox, open bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import and Backup > Export Bookmarks to HTML. Or > Backup, but note that Backup will overwrite any existing bookmarks when you restore them. Now save to the flash drive.

You can now plug the flash drive into your new machine and open bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import and Backup > Import Bookmarks from HTML. Or > Restore (from Backup), and navigate to the flash drive. More: Import data from another browser.

If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you!.

Thank you so very much. I deleted all the unwanted bookmarks.

I have never used Mozilla Support and I think you all are great!

My New HP all in one will be here next week. I may need you all again. Thank you, Val
