How can I move my Firefox bookmarks to another laptop?


I recently bought a new laptop and I want to add all my Firefox bookmarks from my previous laptop, in the same way that I could just copy the favorites folder for Internet Explorer. I have tried to copy them but can't really seem to make it work. How can I move my Firefox bookmarks to another laptop? Can anyone help me moving my favorite bookmarks from Firefox into my laptop? I would really appreciate your useful information pertaining to my query.

Firefox provides a sophisticated and easy method of keeping all of your data such as history, passwords and bookmarks synced among all the devices you use through an application called "Firefox Sync". Firefox sync comes built within the Firefox 4 or later versions of the explorer. It can be used among all the devices which supports Firefox, even mobiles. It uses an end-to-end encryption system and thus all of the information synced, especially the passwords, are kept secured. All the data is saved in the Mozilla server and each user is provided with 25MB of storage space which is more than sufficient for the purpose. As soon as you install Firefox on the secondary computer and log into your account, all the data will automatically be downloaded on the system.

  • Go to settings page and then to the sync tab. Here you will find an option of set up Firefox sync.

  • You will have to create a new account if you don't have one. The registration is free and all you will require is a legitimate e-mail id.

  • You will be provided with a Sync Key which will be exclusive to you and proofs the safety of your information. Note down the key as it is of very important and non recoverable if lost.

  • You would have to follow all the same steps on the system where you would like to copy all of your information except that instead of creating a new account, you will provide the account which you had created on the primary system and provide the Sync Key where ever it asked for.
