    I use firefox, is there a method to exporting your bookmarks?

    Try this:

    Export Bookmarks
    Steps:

    1. Go to Bookmarks >> Organize Bookmarks...
    This opens the Bookmarks Manager.

    2. In the Bookmark Manager, go to File >> Export...
    Now a Save dialog box pops up. Type the name of the file you want to export.
    Select Html files in the Save as File Type box (Anyway, it really dosen't matter if you don't select Html).

    3. Click Save.
    An Html file is created containing all the bookmarks that can be viewed from any of the browsers.
    This file can also be mailed to anyone who can then import it to their browsers.

    Import Bookmarks
    Steps:

    1. Go to Bookmarks >> Organize Bookmarks...
    This opens the Bookmarks Manager.

    2. In the Bookmark Manager, go to File >> Import...

    Firefox%20bookmark%20import%20export.jpg

    Firefox opens the Import wizard(picture above) which gives you options to import bookmarks directly from other browsers or from the exported Html file.

    3. Select "From File" and click Next. This opens the Import Bookmark dialog box.
    (To import directly, just select the browser from where you want to import and click Next).
    Now select the Html file you want to import and click Open.
