    I'm going to be reinstalling vista soon, so I'm trying to get all the important stuff backed up, but I can't seem to find the FF3 beta bookmarks file. I found the Mozilla folder with the FF2 folder and bookmarks file, but no beta. Does anyone know where it is, or any way to get it? I've been using the beta for quite a while, so there are a lot of bookmarks I need to get out of it. Thanks!

    enter $APPDATA% in the search box and you will go to your roaming file, select the Mozilla folder and then Firefox folder and look in Profiles folder.

    You can also export your bookmarks file by selecting Organize Bookmarks in the Bookmarks tab. It is at the top of the Organize Bookmarks menu. Load it on a thumb drive and then you can load it in Firefox.

    What Jakpro said, you can also type about:config in the browser to see where the files are stored (among many other things).

    But exporting bookmarks from Organize Bookmars is much easier.

    Nice avatar Jakpro, tak trzymaj!
