Exporting Bookmarks from Safe Zone
« on: April 22, 2017, 07:32:53 PM »
How to export bookmarks from Safe Zone with OS Windows XP to Firefox in OS Ubuntu Gnome in a different partition in the same Hard Disk ?
Many thanks. P.S.: I didn't find the folder with the SZ bookmarks inside in Windows XP (I selected "diplay hidden folder")

c:\ProgramData\AVAST Software\SZBrowser\profile\USERNAME\Bookmarks

And it should be possible to export them directly from the SafeZone Browser

If both fail for whatever reason, simply search your drive for a file with bookmark in its name.
Ofcourse enable show system and hidden folders/files before doing so.

Many thanks.
But which one is the right one ?
I found two folder named:  \profile\New User,   \profie\New User_sz
Inside those folders I found 3 kinds of files:
Bookmarks
Bookmarks.bak
BookmarksExtras

Bookmarks is the file you need.
Bookmarks.bak is (as the extension strongly indicated) a backup file from the bookmarks file.

And about the right folder ?
In my PC there is just one user.

Hard to choose the wrong folder if there is only one  ;)
You can always open the file in a text editor to see if it is the one you want.

But why making it so hard on yourself and not simply use the export bookmarks option in the SafeZone Browser ?

1) Actually the user is just one but the folders are 2 (and I don't understand why) named:

\profile\New User    and   \profie\New User_sz

What is that   _sz  ?

2) I don't find the export bookmarks option in my SZ.
May be because my updated version of SZ is v.1.48.2066.120 ? Or not ?   (OS Windows XP)

Yes. But even the other folder without    _sz      is relative to SZBrowser\profile\New User
