Importing Firefox Bookmarks from Another Machine



If anybody cares, if you're leaving machine OLD and want your Firefox
bookmarks on machine NEW, and your login name is USER

the bookmarks are in directory folder
C:/Documents and Settings/USER/Application Data/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/*.default

where * will be some hash word, different on the two machines.

and in that folder there is
bookmarks.html

With Firefox closed on both machines, simply copy the file from
one machine to the other in the respective directories, overwriting the
bookmarks in the NEW machine. The new ones of course are gone then,
unless you copy them somewhere else first.
