Lolu chungechunge lwabekwa kunqolobane. Uyacelwa ubuze umbuzo omusha uma udinga usizo.

I need to bring bookmarks from 1 computer, using Firefox, to another - also using Firefox. Is there a 'bookmarks' file somewhere on computer A that I can move to B? If so, where do I put it ? If not, what do I do? Thanks.

That's all the detail I have.

Isisombululo esikhethiwe

A couple of options:

1/ Use the procedure in the backing up and restoring bookmarks article to create a manual backup on computer A, and then restore that backup into computer B.

2/ Copy the places.sqlite file from the profile folder of computer A and place in in the profile folder of computer B.

The first option is probably easier, you don't have to find the profile folder. The second option will copy the history as well as the bookmarks.

You can also use the most recent JSON (bookmarks-xxxx-xx-xx.json) backup in the bookmarkbackups folder and copy that file to the other computer to restore bookmarks.
