In summary, to save your Mozilla Firefox bookmarks before formatting your hard drive, you can go to the "Bookmarks" menu and select "Show All Bookmarks." From there, you can go to "Import and Backup" and choose "Export Bookmarks to HTML" to save your bookmarks as an HTML file. Alternatively, you can use a third-party application like MozBackup to save your bookmarks and other Firefox settings. It is important to back up your bookmarks before formatting your hard drive to ensure you do not lose them.

Does anyone know how to save them in some files or something? I am planning to format my hard drive, and I have a lot of links I don't want to lose. I need to make backup files of them.
