The Mozilla Firefox web browser is one of the best browsers for modern computers. He is fast, reliable and not as voracious as "Chrome" in terms of RAM. In addition, the developers of this miracle completely abandoned the holey and terribly outdated Adobe Flash Player plugin, which also adds to the program’s interest. However, even this positive browser on all sides is not immune to crashes. And most often with such unplanned crashes, the user's bookmarks suffer, which he carefully saved for months. The weakest point is the bookmarks in Mosil. How to restore them in a couple of clicks? We’ll talk about this.
A bit about the browser
Mozilla Firefox uses the Chromium engine. However, unlike the same "Chrome", it is characterized by less RAM consumption. What it is connected with is unknown. The browser supports all kinds of additions and extensions. Among the most popular are ad blockers and its alternatives. By default, the web browser does not have a flash player. However, the user can install it himself. At one's own risk. Also a very interesting thing is the bookmark bar in Mozilla. It is much more functional than the same in Chrome.
It should be noted that the Mozilla browser is the second most popular. In the first place is the notorious "Chrome". However, in the Linux-like operating systems segment, this browser is number one. Linuxoids clearly know a lot about safe surfing. Be that as it may, even Firefox is prone to failures. And you need to know how to recover your information if something suddenly happens. In the meantime, let's see how to add a bookmark in the "Mozilla". This is also very necessary information.
Add bookmarks
Some novice users get a little lost when they see the interface of the updated Firefox. Yes, and old users can not always understand what where. The redesign brought a lot to the browser. So, how to add a bookmark in the "Mozilla"? It is very easy to do. It is enough to drive the desired site in the address bar. When the desired page is fully loaded, you will need to click on the asterisk in the address bar. All. Bookmark added. You see for yourself - there is nothing supernaturally complicated about this.
However, adding a bookmark is half the trouble. Finding it later is the main problem. And here in all its glory the new design of Firefox will show itself. In older versions, everything was simple. But here you will need to open the menu, go to the "Library" item, select the "Bookmarks" sub-item, and only there, in the "Recently Added" section, you can find the desired item. Agree, that is still a quest. For a more comfortable search for bookmarks, it is better to add frequently used to the panel. It will be easier. Now, consider the question of how to save bookmarks in Mozilla.
Bookmark Saving
There are several ways to perform this operation: make a backup (backup) or save as an HTML file. Consider both options. So, for starters, we need to open the bookmark management tool. To do this, go to the menu, select the "Library" item, the sub-item "Bookmarks" and look at the bottom of the menu for the text "Show all bookmarks". We need it - we click on it. A window will appear in which you can manage these items. How to save bookmarks in Mozilla using this tool? Yes, very simple. We go to the item "Import and backups" and select the sub-item "Create backup". Then select the location to save the file. By the way, the file will have a purely Mozilov extension. You won’t be able to work with it using another browser.
If you just want to change the web browser and you need to transfer bookmarks, you need to save them in some universal format. Firefox has such an option. Already familiar to us, we go to the bookmark manager. Only with its help you can create a backup. Select the “Import and backups” item that is already familiar to us and click the “Export bookmarks to HTML file” sub-item. Select the desired directory and click on the "Save" button. After performing all these actions, the bookmarks will be saved as a universal HTML file that any web browser can open. Even such a glitch as the "Internet Explorer" from Microsoft. These are the tricks of saving a bookmark in Mozilla. How to recover information? The answer to the question will be in the next section.
Restore from backup
So, suppose you have successfully backed up your bookmarks. But then the browser turned off (this often happens on Windows) and everything disappeared. That is, not all, but only bookmarks in "Mosil". How to restore them? Very simple. We go the way we know in the bookmark manager, then select "Import and backups" and click on "Restore backup from" - "Select file". Select our bookmark backup and click OK. All. Your bookmarks have been restored.
If the user did not create a backup
You can say that this method only works if you have a bookmark backup file. And no! How to return bookmarks in Mozilla without backup? Browser developers took care of negligent users. "Firefox" every day independently creates a backup copy of the user's bookmarks. A backup is also created after adding new bookmarks. Therefore, you can restore content even without the notorious separate file. Just in the item "Import and backups" you should select the sub-item "Restore backup from" and select the desired date and time.
Conclusion
So, we reviewed the bookmarks in the "Mosil". How to restore them, we now also know. The most valuable thing in this browser is that you can restore them even if the user did not create a backup. And who will now say that Mozilla is not number 1?
