Post where do Iceweasel bookmarks live?


I would like to know what file(s) where Iceweasel bookmarks are located so I can make a backup. Thanks!

Run the following command from within your home directory.
Code:
find . -iname bookmarks.html
You can also just export them from the bookmarks manager.

They will likely sit in the same place as for Firefox - open your home folder and set your file browser to show hidden files. You should have a .mozilla or .firefox or .iceweasel folder. The file is in there.
