My Ubuntu disk crashed and I need to get a copy for my bookmarks. I tried accessing .mozilla
(for my firefox bookmarks) inside my home folder by booting through a bootable cd for Ubuntu, however it tells me I don't have permissions to access the folder. How can I copy the bookmarks.html
?
I also need to copy bookmarks for the Chrome browser.
nautilus-admin
package might be useful to open a folder as root so that you can access all files and/or change permissions (but be sure to close the root nautilus window as soon as you don't need it anymore!)
