While you can open it in a text editor and look at it, the format is not really something that you can work with. Let me explain the difference quickly: if you select export, you save the bookmarks file in JSON format, which Firefox can read, but you can't really do anything with on its own. There you find options to backup bookmarks, and to export bookmarks to HTML. Locate the Import and Backup link in the menubar at the top and click on it.
You can alternatively click on the Firefox button at the top and click on the Bookmarks link there to open the page instead. Open the Firefox web browser and press Ctrl-Shift-b at the same time to bring up the bookmark's manager and library.
#FIREFOX EXPORT ONE BOOKMARK FOLDER HOW TO#
I personally think it is always good to know how to do things manually, but if you are just looking for a quick way to backup your bookmarks, or move them to another computer, I suggest you use one of the tools mentioned above for that purpose. While I published tutorials on how to restore bookmarks in Firefox on the same computer, how to use backup tools like FeBe or Mozbackup, or use Firefox Sync to synchronize the bookmarks and other data to another computer running Firefox, I never explained how you can do that manually and without additional tools. Looking back at all the tutorials that I wrote about Firefox in the last six years or so, I noticed that I never ran a piece on how to backup and move Firefox bookmarks to another computer.
