Firefox bookmarks problem

I have a dual boot PC (with Windows Vista on a standard HDD and Windows 7 on a SSD) and after having used the SSD, I want to use it instead or at least most of the time !

The problem that I have got is that I have hundreds of bookmarks in my Firefox browser and I want to copy them to the new SSD.

I have been using MozBackup which works fine until now when I want to transfer the bookmarks over.

I have tried just about everything, any ideas anyone ?

Cheers.


p.s. I have sent an e-mail to MozBackup support around a week ago but haven't had a reply yet and I'm not sure how long I have to wait ?

I'd use XMarks Sync or something like that to keep the bookmarks synced between the 2 installs.

What is wrong with MozBackup? Just backup, then restore on oither PC...

I haven't heard of that before. I will try it out if all else fails. Thanks.

I have downloaded and installed a new copy of MozBackup from within Windows 7 i.e. I booted from the SSD but nothing happens when I click on it !

I have also copied the MozBackup application over to the SSD but the restore doesn't work as the application can't find the backup file so I think it's a problem with me specifying the correct destination folder.

I have not had to do this before when I restored on the same hard drive.

have you tried the non install version?

This shouldn't happen. I think you need to find out why the program isn't working and address this first, it could be something wrong with your windows installation etc.

No. I didn't know there was a non-install version.

The zipped one might be worth a try

What about FF's (apostrophe needed to stop it being censored) built in import/export bookmark feature?

Are you after something to keep them synched or are you just trying to move them over? I am not quite sure from your post.
