    Can anyone tell how I can find the "bookmark" folder from Firefox so I can save my addresses to a disc prior to a new install of windows? Thank you.
    Thank You,

    click on bookmarks and then "organize bookmarks"

    then click on "file" -> 'export' and save file somewhere


    you can re-import this file in another install

    Well, I could tell you, but an easier way to do it is to go to Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks, then in the bookmarks window that comes up, select File > Export and pick where you want to save your copy of the bookmarks.html file.

    Edit: BJ_M got to it slightly faster than me...

    also, there is a Firefox add-on (at their update site) that stores your bookmarks on the web

    Try FOXMARKS, it's a very handy program.
