I'm using google browser synch, it synchs as much or as little of your firefox data as you specify. I found it very useful for my bookmarks and browser preferences.

That's the way to do it.
Try exporting the file onto desktop first, then move it to your flash drive.

I agree with you fatnbald, this is the fav program for me too. It has got me out of problems before when I messed up my bookmarks. Great little freebie

You could use Pike's Bookmark Backup Firefox extension to do backups of Favourites and all the Firefox profile files to a set of seven daily directories.

Recreating my Favourites after a disk crash took considerably longer than restoring everything else, which had been backed up...
