I use Firefox 17.0.1. How do I export my favorites from one computer to another?
Thank you. Jim B.
Thanks for the help. I had a bunch of bookmarks that I have collected over a period of time on my desk. I recently acquired a new laptop and wanted to copy on it. What I've done below worked perfectly.
To copy bookmarks to another computer
- Install a flash player in computer #1
- In the menu bar, open the bookmarks > show all bookmarks > import and backup > export bookmarks as HTML.
- In the window that opens, scroll down to the flash player, then press on < record >
- Install flash player in computer #2.
- Repeat step 2 in the computer #2 except hit import bookmarks to HTML.
- Scroll down to the flash player and highlight [bookmarks. HTML] and click Open.
- Bookmarks must be imported at this point.
All instructions and links I found were a little wordy, confusing and does a not address this issue directly.
I thank once again. Jim B.

I don't want to export my favorites all at once and to completely overwrite those on the other computer. I want to just update the other computer with a few new brands of book from the old computer. If I choose the backup option using the json file it totally replaces everything when I load it on the new computer using the restore option. I want to be able to transfer bookmarks without overwriting everything. Just to add the new ones get in what is already there.
You can consider using Sync to synchronize bookmarks to another computer.

How to export the cookies to restore later?
I don't know how to export bookmarks for a later restore. I also want to export cookies that I use on my normal websites, so I can also restore them later.
Thank you
There is an extension which exports cookies to the old text file format. That could allow you to delete the ones your do not want by using a text editor. I think that you would need the extension again to reimport the file (modified) in Firefox.

How to export Firefox bookmarks partially?
Current bookmarks manager Firefox to only export entire collections of bookmark in an html file. I would like to know how I export partially some of them, not all, in an html file it please?
You cannot export a selection of bookmarks.
You will need to export to a HTML file and edit that file to remove unwanted bookmarks.
Easier is to place a copy of the bookmarks at the end of the folder of bookmarks Menu bookmarks (Library Manager; Bookmarks > show all bookmarks).
Here you can easily find the and paste them into another folder using a text editor.
