Copying Bookmarks Out of Firefox

Problem

You want to share some or all of your stashes with friends, co-workers, etc. or export saved tabs/bookmarks from Tab Stash and/or Firefox.

Explanation

There are two ways to copy bookmarks out of Tab Stash: you can use the built-in export functionality, or you can use Firefox itself to copy/paste bookmarks into another application.

Solution

Export Using Tab Stash

Tab Stash has export functionality available from the main menu in the Tab Stash UI. To learn more, see Exporting Tabs from Tab Stash.

Export Using the Firefox Bookmark Manager

  1. Open the bookmarks manager: Firefox Menu > Library > Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks.
  2. Find the Tab Stash folder you want to copy and click it in the sidebar. You can also Shift+Click to select multiple folders.
  3. Press "Ctrl+C" (on Windows) or "Cmd+C" (on Mac) to copy the selected folders to the clipboard.
  4. Paste the bookmarks into an email message, text message, etc.

If you're pasting into an app that supports HTML, you should get a nicely-formatted list of clickable links with the items from your stash. If you're pasting into an app that only supports text, you will get a list of URLs for each of the items in your stash.
