i use the latest firefox 3.0.6 and can not save the collected bookmarks
in a separate folder to be made safe and reused in case of instaling a
fresh window.Please guide me in simple terms to fallow it correctly, thanks.

To backup or export your Firefox bookmarks,

Click -> Bookmarks -> Organize Bookmarks on your Firefox

Then Click on Import and Backup

And then select Export Html..

Save Bookmarks.html in a safe place

thanks for your prompt responce, firefox help line had also advised accordingly,
but when i open the saved bookmarks i get an unending long line which is not
related as per the requirements,prior to firefox it was quite easy to save favourities of IE, and i used to do it frequently. thanks once again.

Firefox keeps your bookmarks in a file called bookmarks.html in your profile folder.

It also automatically backs up your bookmarks to a folder called bookmarkbackups, also in your profile folder.
If you want to back them up to another media simply copy the bookmarks.html file over.

Where is my profile folder

There are also addons for backing up and syncing.
