Firefox BookMarks- Backup and Restore

I recently lost my bookmarks for Firefox fortunately they are easy to restore.
You may want to back them up and save on a CD, DVD thumbdrive, other computer etc.

Firefox automatically backs up your Bookmarks but you can back them up manually to wherever you want on your computer by going to:

Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup - and choose Backup.
Browse to your documents or wherever you would like them to be backed up.

To restore them, go through the same procedure but instead of selecting backup, choose
restore, and select the date you want them restored from.

Firefox saves the file as a .json file which is the default format that Firefox uses.
You can also export them as HTML which will allow you to import them into another browser, also usable through Firefox if you prefer.
