Yeah, you're right. I took only a few moments to look at the file and while it stared at me straight in the face, I just didn't see it.

I saved my Konqueror bookmarks as HTML to use in Mozilla. Then imported them into Mozilla. The import was fast and without a hitch. I'm in the process of cleaning out the deadwood and uninteresting links. While not speedy by any stretch of the imagination, very acceptable...much faster and smoother than in Konqueror. I'll finish my clean-up work in Mozilla, then spend more time in this browser for now. An interesting observation in Konqueror: Cutting/Pasting of more than one bookmark at a time within KEditBookmarks causes one to show-up as a blank link. Preliminary guess it that they have been foreign language links that show undefinable characters or those in other than English. What doesn't make sense is that it bookmarks them fine from the Web site. I'm trying to keep things simple right now, as I learn to get around Linux, but it looks like no one app group can handle all my needs within the parameters of my equipment. Einstein's theories apparently work in the Link Universe, as well. <sigh> Thanks for your help, Stephen. And for the sage advice! ;0) T
