Video: How to Export Bookmarks from Firefox  

This movie requires flash version 8 or better.
Today’s video topic is how to copy your existing Firefox bookmarks into Sharing Links. The process consists of two steps:

Open Firefox, then click Bookmarks and Manage Bookmarks (you might need to scroll up if you do not see Manage Bookmarks at the top of your Bookmark list)

Then from the Bookmark Manager, it is File/ Export. Remember where you save your bookmarks.html file, because you are going to need to find it in step two.

Now, visit http://www.sharinglinks.com/importbrowser/ . (If you forget the name of the page, you’ll find it on the HELP page)

Click Browse to find your saved bookmarks.html file. Select your privacy option (we recommend Public whenever possible) and it a few seconds you will be redirected to YOUR Bookmarks page.

Add tags to apply to imported links. Check Use Folder Names as Tags if your bookmarks are organized in folders.
*If you import a single folder (without any sub-folders), you can not use the feature. You must have both a “Parent Folder” and a “Child Folder” in order to use the “Child Folder” names as tags.

Now is a good time to add tags. Start by clicking Edit, then by clicking on previously used tags, or entering new ones in the tag data entry field. End by clicking Save Changes.
