Never loose bookmarks AGAIN!
Well, almost never. It’s true, you can back up your Internet Explorer favorites before you switch computers, or heaven forbid, it crashes on you but there is an easier way. A relatively new player, Mozilla Firefox, has come out with an add-on built right into their browser to solve this issue, hopefully for good!
First of all what’s Mozilla, you ask? Go to for information and a complete rundown on what you need to know.
The name of this little-known wonder is an add-on .
I’ll walk you through it. First of all, if you haven’t already, download and install Mozilla Firefox browser. (Similar to Internet Explorer - “the blue e” only better in most cases). Now don’t get upset, you can still use Internet Explorer, AOL, Netscape or anything else, just make sure you save your bookmarks in Firefox. That is, if you want to actually keep the bookmarks and not start from scratch.
After you’ve downloaded, click tools (on the top menu directly above your screen) then look for Foxmarks bookmarks synchronizer, click to download it. Then close out of your browser and restart.
This is excellent if you have more than 1 computer at home or work that you use on a regular basis.
Upon your first use, go to bookmarks, select foxmarks and set up an account with a username and a password
Click synchronize now button at bottom of box, then you are set. I would check the first 2 boxes that make automatically synchronizing your bookmarks a snap! You won’t even have to give it a second thought. I’d also be on the cautious side and sign out if you are on computers you share with others.
Do you have questions? Tell us what you’ve found works for you saving those bookmarks.
Good luck!

I love firefox, I always use it to track my favorites and all my paswords. No way I could keep up with them any other way.

I love Firefox too, for it’s simplicity, easier organisation and added security while browsing. I didn’t know about this feature though so thanks for sharing
