For the convenience of working on the Internet, you use the ability to save bookmarks to the "Favorites" folder of your browser. You may not be bothered by anything, but the moment comes when you need to reinstall the system. Take a few simple steps to save the information you want.
Instructions
Step 1
Each browser has the ability to export and import bookmarks. This means that you can save bookmarks in one file on your hard drive, and then download them safely.
Step 2
Restore the bookmarks in the Internet Explorer browser in the following way. Find the yellow pentagonal star button in the upper right corner of the browser window. If you click on it, the favorites bar will appear. Click on the inscription "Add to favorites", then in the context menu that appears, select the "Import and Export" tab. In the new window, check the box next to "Export to file", then click "Next". In the next window, select the "Favorites" option, click "Next". Now select a folder for the export procedure and click "Next". The file that is created by default is called bookmark.htm and is located in the Documents folder. It will be better if you change the name of the file so that it is easier to remember, and choose a folder not on the system drive. Click Export, then Finish. To restore Favorites, you will need to repeat the process, but for the Import command, selecting the previously saved file.
Step 3
If you are using the Opera browser, to save your Favorites, select the Bookmarks option, then Manage Bookmarks and the File menu. Then you need to select the "Export as HTML" item. Name the export file and select a save destination. To restore bookmarks, select Bookmarks / Manage Bookmarks / File / Import Opera Bookmarks. If you restore bookmarks from another browser in Opera, you need to select it from the list of browsers offered in the menu.
Step 4
Provided that you are using Mozilla Firefox, enter the "Bookmarks" menu, after "Show all bookmarks", you can also press the key combination Ctrl + Shift + B. In the new window, click "Import and Backup", then "Export Bookmarks to HTML file ". Then set the directory and file name. To restore bookmarks: Show All Bookmarks / Import and Backup / Import Bookmarks from HTML File, select the file you saved earlier.
Step 5
Google Chrome. Click on the settings menu in the upper right corner (in the form of a wrench). Then select Bookmark Manager / Bookmarks / Export Bookmarks to HTML File. Specify the directory and file name. To restore, select Import Bookmarks from HTML File instead of Export Bookmarks to HTML File.
