Question Upgrade FireFox but save bookmarks


Hi!

I'm using Firefox 0.9.3 and want to upgrade to 1.0.0PR. But what file do I have to save to keep my bookmarks after the upgrade? And will they work after that?

Thanks!
Boby

look for a file named bookmarks.html in your $HOME/.mozilla subdirectories (use the find command) and copy it elsewhere.
It will certainly work with 1.0.
I think upgrading anyway preserve personal files, but you are right to back-up it just in case problem happens.
