[FireFox] Can This Be Done?

Novice here.

Can I backup only specific Favorites/Bookmarks folders (not all Bookmarks) to move to another pc?

If so, How do I do this?

Thanks

Export the bookmarks to an HTML file and edit that file to remove unwanted bookmarks. Restore as needed.

Note: Difference between restoring and importing bookmarks

ok, a few questions

1) when I export bookmarks to HTML, it does not include Bookmark Folder on Toolbar. How do I include this?

2) before I import to another pc ( only want a few folders), do I change html to a txt & delete what's not wanted & then revert back to html?

3)then on 2nd pc, just IMPORT and it will be added to bookmarks?

4) what if there are dupe folders?

5) found that after I import, the data on the original export file is gone, wierd

Just go and get Mozilla Backup and then you can selectively back up and restore everything. Mozilla Backup has been my friend for years.

Consider Febe, I have been using it for years and used to to move settings over to new machines.

In options select backup bookmarks .html

I do a selective and full backup.

The bookmarks toolbar items are included, but at the end of the .html file, not at the beginning.

Correct. I came here this morning to post this exact information.
