Firefox has two different formats available for saving your bookmarks. After creating the files, you can store them on removable media (e.g., USB Flash drive), or Microsoft OneDrive, or as an email attachment, etc.

I suggest creating both "just in case."

You also could create a backup copy of your entire profile folder, which has other data and settings. See: Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles.

And finally, you could set up the Sync service with a Firefox Account. However, I can't predict how long it will take for the data to get saved on the server, so this could end up being incomplete if you don't allow enough time. See: How do I set up Sync on my computer?

Does that cover it?

You can export the bookmarks in the Bookmarks Manager (Library; Show All Bookmarks) to an HTML file to have a backup.

  • Bookmarks -> Show All Bookmarks -> Import & Backup
