can ffox be told to use bookmarks from two separate drives as needed on same computer?
I would like to keep certain bookmarks completely separate from other bookmarks using a USB external drive as well as the internal drive. These bookmark files are quite large. I need to have access to both sets, but really do need to keep them on separate hardware. Is this possible? How would I tell FFOX which drive to use? Thank you for any help, Dave.

You might also want to save a complete copy of your Firefox profile folder, which contains other files you might come to want later. These include: saved passwords and data stored by add-ons.
Windows hides your AppData folder by default, so here's a shortcut to dive down to your profile folder. Type or paste this into the Start menu search box and press Enter to open it:
%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
If you find multiple folders there, check inside for the most recent files. For example, in the bookmarkbackups folder, you should find some recently created files.
Copy the entire profile folder onto your external drive for future reference.
Because the folder contains your browsing history and cookies, if you are concerned about the privacy of the drive, you could first clear your history and cookies in Firefox during your final cleanup, and then make the copy after that. if any problem found ,mail me ! Thank-you
