To be safe, in FF, click Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks. In the window that opens, click on the "Import and Backup" drop down, then backup. You now have a backup file of your favorites.

I am not technical I clicked on the "Import and Backup" drop down, do I type something in the File name not sure can someone tell me?
I tryed it it did not have a filled in the filename Can you take me threw the steps
Once you click "backup" in the dropdown, it should show "Desktop" in the location at top. In the file name box, enter Bookmarks-2010-4-29, in "Save as Type" box select JSON. Click the "Save" box.
I know their are two ways to save I thought JSON Which I will try and saving in html can you tell me the steps for html
I did try two JSON and html I got the steps by your very good directions I do not know which location it ends up when I go to save it can I name the location ?
They should be on your Desktop by default. Right-click your taskbar and select "Show the desktop". They should show up there. The nice thing about the JSON files is Firefox knows about them so when you go to restore, you just choose the date, because it already knows when it took the backups.
