Copy & back that up. It’s your entire profile folder, so you shouldn’t lose a thing 🙂

Alternatively, go to Bookmarks-\>Manage Bookmarks-\>File-\>Export then use Import when you’ve reformatted - I’d do this as well… I think copying the profile folder should work, but to be safe I’d do both.

well, i already checked that application data, but the mozilla folder was empty, probably because i did a system cleanup last week. i’ve now exported the bookmarks, and will import them as soon as i formatted the whole thing 🙂

thx man :thumb:
