• In the menu left mouse click on File -> Import and Export. This will start the “Import and Export” wizard.
• Select Export Favorites and the click on “next.”
• Select Favorites to backup everything or select a specific folder and click on “next.”
• In the next window you can accept the default save directory or choose a new one. I suggest you select “Desktop” so you can easily find the file again. Click on “next.”
• Finally, click on “finish” and your Favorites will be saved to disk.

If you wish to import your bookmarks follow the above steps in reverse and instead of selecting “Import Favorites” select “Import Favorites” instead.
