    I'm planning on rebooting my computer this week and was wondering if there was a convenient way to store the internet bookmarks to use after the reboot. I would rather not like to lookup the bookmarks individually onto my browser after rebooting the computer.

    Bookmarks aren't deleted when you restart your browser. Or am I not understanding the question?

    If I'm guessing right, and by "reboot" you mean "reformat" then you can go into your internet browser, export your bookmarks and save that to another computer/disk/usb key/etc. then after reformatting, just import the bookmarks.

    Do you mean you want to "restore" the pages were you were watching before you shut down the computer? You can do that in firefox by going to options -> options -> main -> where my firefox starts -> show tabs from last time

    My computer lingo gets confused sometimes...gusto5, your response helped and I was able to find the export option for the Firefox browser Bookmarks>Organize Bookmarks>File>Export. Thanks for the responses and they were all helpful.

    I regularly export my Firefox bookmarks as an html file for use as the homepage for my PDA's browser.

    Likewise I export my RSS feeds as an OPML file using the Firefox add-on, Sage, and import them into my PDA's RSS reader.
