How to put some of your Firefox bookmarks directly into an e-mail

I have researched a subject and needed to include some of my bookmarks into an e-mail. I could not find a function for exporting a selection of all the bookmarks I have. However it turned out to be very easy.

See to that the bookmarks you want to have included in the e-mail are in one and the same bookmarks folder in Firefox.

• Right click on the folder and select "Copy".
• Go to e.g. Gmail in your browser and paste into the HTML area of the e-mail.
• The result will be one link for each bookmark, with the title as text.
• If you paste into a text editor instead you get just the urls, one per line, if that is what you want

Tested on Firefox 3.011 on Ubuntu.

The below discussion helped me:

Just copy a bookmarks folder as mentioned above from FF into a Word file (unlike copying them into Dreamweaver, the links are preserved!). Then export as a html File and use either HTML Tidy (Freeware) or the "Clean Word HTML Code" in Dreamwaever to obtain a small and goodlooking html file! Enjoy Andreas
