Foxmarks Bookmark Synchronizer should do the trick. If you use Firefox on more than one computer, you'll want Foxmarks. Install Foxmarks on each computer, and it will work silently in the background to keep your bookmarks synchronized. You can also log in to my.foxmarks.com to manage your bookmarks from any computer. A simple wizard guides you through the startup process. After that, just forget about it. It's simple and solid. addons.mozilla.org tinyurl.com

Sultan, they sure don't make the bookmarks file easy to find. Try start>search and look for it. You'll probably find several. Pick the one with the latest time stamp. Once that file is on your new laptop, open Firefox and under 'file' there is an import feature. oops! that import feature only imports from IE. Maybe someone else has a better idea.

What about exporting the book marks via Bookmarks->Organize Books From the pop up window of bookmarks organizer File->export gives a html file. Copy this onto the target machine and do the reverse (import books marks). -J6P

Getting to your bookmarks is easy. With FF open, click on the bookmarks tab. There you will see a tab to manage bookmarks. click that. Click on the file menu and click on export. It will ask you where you want to export the bookmarks to and you can just point it to the desktop. There you will find an html file that is your bookmarks. Email it to yourself and on the new laptop and download it to the desktop. Open up FF and click the bookmarks tab again, manage bookmarks and under file, click import. It is stored on your hard drive pretty deep and it's pretty much a hassle to find but this is the easiest way to tell you.
