Install Bookmark Backup 0.4.11
Description

Bookmark Backup is a simple extension that helps to keep your bookmarks (and optionally other Firefox settings) safe. Each time Firefox is closed, a copy of your bookmarks file will be made to a backup location. If Firefox's bookmarks become corrupted or lost, find the most recent uncorrupted backup and copy it into your profile folder. By default the backups can be found in the Backups folder inside Firefox's profile folder, though this location can be changed in Bookmark Backup's Options dialog.

Additionally, thanks to code contributed by Nickolay Ponomarev, other files may also be backed up along with the bookmarks file. You can specify which files to backup in the Options dialog. Just check the box for each type of setting you want backed up, any other files can be listed in the following text box separated by a | character. Please refer to the MozillaZine Knowledge Base for details about what data is stored in each file.

Please remember, this extension should be used in addition to a regular profile backup not as a replacement.


Automatically export bookmarks from Firefox
Compared to Firefox 2, Firefox 3 uses a new manager for bookmarks. Bookmarks are no more stored in the bookmarks.html file (in the directory of your Firefox profile), but in a SQLite database (places.sqlite).

If the performance is much better, you can not read this file directly (eg in another browser).

However, you can automatically export bookmarks to bookmarks.html from Firefox 3. Here's how:

* In the address bar of Firefox 3, type: about:config
* A warning will appear: Click "I will be careful, I promise!"
* In "Filter", type autoexport, then double-click the "browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML" to pass the value to true.
* Firefox now automatically export your bookmarks in the files bookmarks.html


(Just look for the file bookmarks.html in C: Documents and Settings ....)
