Yes, I know. This would of course only be an option, so that people who
*want* their bookmarks replaced (they have a fresh installation with
the default bookmarks), *can* have localized bookmarks.

My localized bookmark file will contain *both* the default English
bookmarks (perhaps with translated names of some of them), and some
localized ones.

No, when you install Mozilla (downloaded from Mozilla.org), you get
the English UI as default. You'll have to download a separate language
pack and install this (and restart Mozilla twice!) to get the Mozilla
UI in another language.

Thanks!

I don't think this is a problem, since the localized bookmarks will
only be installed in new (unmodified) profiles.
