Hi! I use 2 computers, and need to sync firefox bookmarks frequently.

When I try to import the html bookmark file, it's automatically saved into 'Bookmarks menu'. 'Bookmarks toolbar' folder is also saved within the Bookmarks menu and I have to manually move the contents of the bookmarks toolbar which is time consuming. Is there an easier way to move both 'bookmarks menu' and 'bookmarks toolbar' at once, to it's respective designations?

Thank you!

Hi doritos, do you want the "destination" Firefox to end up having the identical bookmarks as the "source" Firefox? In that case, you can use the "backup" and "restore" method instead of the "export" and "import" method. This article has more details:

Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer
