Hello: I'd like to create a new Firefox profile...i think this one is somewhat corrupted...I have way too many bookmarks gathered over years...I no longer need most of those

However, Ive used the Bookmarks Toolbar for my most important links, by simply dragging the URL onto that bookmarks toolbar...Those I *would* like to save onto my new profile

Question: Is there a way I can export-->import only the items on my current bookmarks toolbar, and somehow import all those so as to become the new bookmarks toolbar of that new profile?

Thank you eliuri

Sorry, but its an all or nothing situation.

This is what you can do. Create a backup using the below instructions. Copy this backup file to the other system. Open the file in the browser and add whatever you want to the bookmarks.


Open the Bookmarks Manager; Press the Alt or F10 key to bring up the toolbar, and select Bookmarks. Hot key is <Control> (Mac=<Command>) <Shift> B.

Once the window is open, at the top of the page, press the button labeled Import and Backup. Select Export Bookmarks To HTML, and follow the prompts and save it to a HTML file. Copy the file to another computer/profile. Repeat the instructions above, BUT select Import Bookmarks From HTML.

You can create an HTML backup and edit this file to only keep the Bookmarks Toolbar folder.

Look for something like this attribute:

  • PERSONAL_TOOLBAR_FOLDER="true

Note that the Bookmarks Toolbar folder and the Other Bookmarks folder are sub folders of the Bookmarks Menu folder, so only remove the DT tags at the main level in this folder. You can check the result by opening the file in a Firefox tab and possibly check the page source for red warnings. 

<H1>Bookmarks Menu</H1>
<DL><p>
 <DT><A HREF="url" >BOOKMARK</A>
 <DT><H3>FOLDER</H3>

 <DT><H3 UNFILED_BOOKMARKS_FOLDER="true" >Other Bookmarks</H3>
