    hey guys/gals,

    im backup up my laptop harddrive to my other comp so nothing gets lost when i format but for some reason my mozilla doesnt want to be copied. its been perfectly set up to my liking right now(add-ons, looks, and speed) and redoing would be a pain but it just refuses to copy everything. also, how would i be able to port my mozilla favorites to the other computer?? keep in mind that the laptop being formatted does not have internet right now.


    thanks for the responses

    I use foxmarks. It automatically syncs your favorites up to their server so if you format/reinstall/get a new computer all you gotta do is install foxmarks and your bookmarks will be there. I use it to keep my laptop and desktop synchronized for favorites.

    small problem. the computer im trying to get copy the mozilla from doesnt have internet right now(sp3 messed up real nice) , so foxmarks is out of the question. although i will probably get it once the format is complete.


    and jim_0068, where is the bookmark backup file?? there doesnt seem to be one

    thanks
