Running current version of FF (10.0.2), Win7, FF on c: drive

Really want to MOVE my bookmarks to my d: drive so that when I restore/nuke my c: system drive, I do not lose my bookmarks.

Thanks for your help in telling me how to do this.

Then you need to move the whole profile to the new drive. Or possibly consider using Firefox Portable.

I don't want to back it up or restore it, I want to move it to a different drive on my PC.
