It has been at least a month since I had to deal with this so I might 
misremember the details.  As I recall, my main objective was to sync the 
bookmarks of my main FF2 installation (MDV 2008.1) with the bookmarks of 
the PortableApps-based FF2 (then upgraded to FF3) running from a 
flashdrive, which was then accessed via my work laptop running Windows 
XP. [1]  I hope that makes sense.  LOL

With FF2, it was as simple as copying the "bookmarks.html" file from the 
laptop to the flashdrive.  When I went with FF3, I could export/import, 
but that added the new bookmarks to the old, rather than replacing 
everything.  I tried copying the file like I did with FF2, but FF3 
seemed to want to restore a saved copy of the bookmarks.  I only had to 
wrestle with it a couple of weekends, so I never made time to find a 
simple way to deal with it once I was off the road.

I did briefly look at Foxmarks, but IIRC, that didn't really seem to 
scratch this particular itch.

So, there ya go.  :-)

[1] FWIW, the reason I went the PortableApps route is that my "work 
laptop" could be either of the 2 that I carried with me, or another pair 
altogether.  PortableApps has proven to be the best way of having access 
to the applications I wanted, without having to install (and update) a 
bunch of stuff on a variety of laptops.
