Hi,

Before having XP reinstalled I saved my Firefox Bookmarks on Xmarks (learned my lesson from last time), now that my PC is up and running again, any idea how I go into my Xmarks account and save the Bookmarks back onto Mozilla Firefox so that I can view the list?

Thank you.

Jay

    Re-install the Xmarks Firefox addon and it will prompt you for your account credentials and re-synchronise your bookmarks.

    Be careful to only receive bookmarks from the Xmarks server or you will lose everything.

    Not quite true. :)

    Because xmarks retains a snapshot for every time you change anything, you can always go to the site, log in,My Bookmarks, Tools, then Explore/Restore Old Bookmarks.
    Move along, nothing to see.
