How can I back just some of my bookmarks? I have many folders in my Firefox bookmarks directory and only want to back up one.

-> Tap ALT key or press F10 to show the Menu Bar

-> press CTR + SHIFT + B or go to Bookmarks Menu -> select Show All Bookmarks -> Library window will open

-> in the left sidebar -> close History tab -> open All Bookmarks tab -> open Bookmarks Menu -> Create a New Folder -> select the pages you want to Backup and (Cut -> Paste) them in the New Folder -> open this Folder -> click Import and Backup... button -> click Backup... button OR Export HTML.. button -> save the file

Check and tell if its working.

Nah, that doesn't work, already tried it, with every variation I could think of. All it does is save the entire library of bookmarks. I have 18 folders of bookmarks in my favorites library, need to move just one of them to another computer.

It's only about 40 bookmarks so it will only take 30 min or so to move them, but I've had this problem before and would like to figure out how to do it non-manually, if it's possible.

Thanks much for taking the time to reply. Any other ideas, I'm all ears!

when it save the whole library, sopy them to a USB or other Removable media nad Import in another computer.

Are the bookmarks appearing in their respective folders in the new computer ?? if so then keep the bookmarks folder you want to save and delete all other bookmarks folders

Check and tell if its working.

Ok, found a way that works, but it's kinda inelegant. Remember, my task was how to export one of 18 favorites directories:

1) Open the Favorites Library (see above for methods).

2) Click on the "Import and Backup" menu item, select "Backup..." and follow instructions to create a backup file.

3) Back in the Favorites Library, in the left pane click on "Bookmarks Menu". You should see all of your bookmarks and bookmark folders in the right pane.

4) Click on one of them then do Ctrl-a to select all of them.

5) Holding the Ctrl key down de-select the folder(s) you wish to export.

6) With all the unwanted folders and bookmarks selected, hit the delete key.

7) Now do an export. It will contain only the folders/bookmarks you did not delete.

8) Once you verify the exported file contains what you want, go back to the Favorites Library, click on the "Import and Backup" menu, select "Restore...", navigate to your backup file and restore your Favorites.

Took longer to type the above steps than it actually takes to do it...

glad to see you found a workaround
