FF 1.0.3.

I want to export bookmarks from a windows 98 to
a Windows xp one with same FF version.

I do not see a way to export, but do see a
import choice.

How best to do this?

Regards,

Dan

Doesn't FF 1.0.3's Bookmarks Manager have export and import on its File
menu?

You can copy the bookmarks.html file from the Firefox profile folder on
the W98 machine to the Firefox profile folder on the XP machine.

Well I had looked at that. Windows 98 has that
under windows\application data\FF\profiles. I
just got XP Pro, so am really unfamilar with its
structure, but I could not find the same path.
So I assume FF sets itself up somewhat
differently, at least enough different to
confuse me. So, bottom line, I haven't
positioned it correctly.

Different versions of MS-Windows set themselves up somewhat differently,
i.e. they locate the standard MS-Windows "Application Data" folder in
different places.

Once you find where your version of MS-Windows has put its
"Application Data" folder, you find Firefox's profile
in "Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\????????.default".
