Moved from pc to apple mac & I would like to know how to save bookmarks onto a file.. With pc-internet exployer you could save the favourites all onto one file.

This is so that I can back them up & store the file of bookmarks on my memory stick.

Thanks

    Go to the File menu and choose "Export Bookmarks"

    This works on Safari 3.1.2, OS X 10.5.4

    Have fun

    Install the Foxmarks extension in Firefox then it will sync up the bookmarks on any system you use.

    You don't need Foxmarks - it's just a tad "unobvious".

    Go to Bookmarks -> Organise Bookmarks

    In my FireFox 3, there are five buttons on top of the bookmark list in the window that'll open. Use the rightmost one with the five-pointed star and it has a menu entry "Export HTML".

    Thanks. my version of firefox does not have that icon so I will ask my partner to upgrade to version 3.
