I have many Bookmarks in my FireFox Account. So, when I create a new Account to change my E-mail address, will my Bookmarks be lost? Is there a way to backup my bookmarks or transfer them?

Hi, no. Bookmarks are stored in your profile which is separate from Firefox, so even if you reinstalled FF they would be safe. You don't need this now, but just for reference: Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.

If you want to manually backup your bookmarks this shows you how: Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer. Note, if you don't want your backup to overwrite your existing ones, select 'Export Bookmarks to HTML' instead of 'Backup.'

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