Saving & transfering Mozilla settings
 

I would like to transfer my Mozilla settings and bookmarks to a new installation.

Is there a way to save the settings into a file and uploading them to the new install on another computer?

Thanks, Jeff

I found my own answer in the Mozilla help section. Sorry for the bandwidth. Maybe someone else can use the info.

Your bookmarks are stored in a file named bookmarks.html. You can export a copy of this file and save it in a folder of your choosing. You can then edit it and treat it as you would any HTML file.

1. Open the Bookmarks menu and choose Manage Bookmarks.
2. In your Bookmarks window, open the Tools menu, and choose Export.
3. In the "Export bookmark file" dialog box, choose a folder. Your bookmarks.html file will be copied into the folder you designate.
4. Click Save.

Your Mozilla bookmarks are not altered by this procedure.

You can also import bookmarks files from other sources. For example, you can import bookmarks files from earlier Mozilla versions, other browsers, or from bookmark files that your friends send you.

Before you start, make sure that the bookmark file you want to import is an HTML file.

1. Open the Bookmarks menu and choose Manage Bookmarks.
2. In your Bookmarks window, open the Tools menu and choose Import.
3. In the "Import bookmark file" dialog box, locate and select the bookmark file you want to import.
4. Click Save.

The imported bookmark file is treated as a group of new bookmarks and added to the bottom of your bookmarks list. If you have designated a new bookmark folder, the imported bookmarks are added to that folder.

Note: Importing a bookmark file imports the bookmarks and folders from that file. It does not create two bookmark files.
