I installed 3.0.1 as per instructions: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion Under the: Manual Install instructions. The only thing I didn't do is Line 3: rm firefox-3.0.tar.bz2 (see webpage above) which, I supposed, was just to delete the tar package after the files were decompressed into the opt directory. also, instead of using the command: sudo tar -jxvf firefox-3.0.tar.bz2 -C /opt I used: sudo tar -jxvf firefox-3.0.1.tar.bz2 -C /opt I did the install on 7/17/08, and the bookmarks transferred to 3.0.1 with no problem. I was able to save new bookmarks with no problem for about 10 days, but some time last week it stopped saving bookmarks. > Roger E.

The only place I have knowingly saved bookmarks is in my home folder, and on the desktop. I did so by clicking on bookmarks then clicking on organize bookmarks, then clicking on import and backup, then clicking on Export HTML. So that really should not cause a problem. I don't know where firefox puts bookmarks. That is the problem. On the other hand, when I looked over the commands that I used in the above ubuntu installation instructions, I realized that there are clues as to its whereabouts. Am I correct in assuming that it is somwhere in the /opt/firefox. on the other hand, it seems that bookmarks are in a file called .mozilla in my home folder ....? homefolder~/.mozilla when I do :~$ ls -asl in my home folder, there is a .mozilla folder there is also a .mozilla.backup in the same folder, which I created at the time of 3.0.1 installation.

I used them before on my windows computer, but I lost the password, which doesn't matter....I can always start a new delicious account. Nevertheless, I would still like to have my bookmarks work on my web browser. The files I send to myself from only one computer....my roaming computer, which is linux, as opposed to my windows computer which I havn't touched in 3 or 4 months. I will use that one, though, when install more ram so I can use it for VMware, so I can work with other distributions, and even the BSD. _________________________________________________________________ Your PC, mobile phone, and online services work together like never before. http://clk.atdmt.com/MRT/go/108587394/direct/01/
