How to Transfer Firefox Bookmarks to a New PC
How to Transfer Firefox Bookmarks to a New PC
We always worry how to transfer our computer stuff to a new PC don't we? And  bookmarks are a big part of it.The process of transferring  bookmarks to the new  PC assumes that you have your bookmarks saved in the safe place. The "Documents" folder would be a safe  place for it. Lets assume  that you have  your bookmarks saved  under the file  name   "bookmarksnew" in the  "Documents" folder.  In order to transfer your bookmarks to the new PC you have to physically save this "bookmarksnew" file  on the portable device  first.  That can be either a  CD disk or a flash drive (or a  pocket drive).    This article  assumes you  have already created a "My Documents" folder on your new PC.. This article will explain how to use a pocket drive.
