With much travail (not really, just time) it is done -- the personal
toolbar, (folders and icons, probably over a hundred bookmarks) from SM
1.x is now display properly in SM 2.0.
I doubt that the format of bookmarks.html changed for 1.x to 2.0, but if
it did it is backward compatible.
I have no idea if the un-installation (complete) of SM 1.x trashed its
bookmarks.html because mine were pointed to a second level subdirectory
instead of six or so levels down. Mine Use a prefs.js entry:
browser.bookmarks.file;C:\program files\sharedbookmarks\bookmarks_sm.html
(That's a user set string for about:config.)
For years I had shared them with Firefox and simply had to be aware of who
was rewriting the file last to keep them synched. I haven't for a while.
I note that the header from prefs.js has finally been changed from
"<!DOCTYPE NETSCAPE-Bookmark-file-1>" to "# Mozilla User Preferences"

I am not sure if there is a question in your post but, you mention you
share bookmarks between SM 1.xx and Firefox. Obviously, this was not FF
version 3 since, then, the format of bookmarks changed completely and
this is no longer possible the way you did it.
Interesting your used this prefs.js entry about bookmarks. I had a
different strategy, sharing SM 1.xx's and FF 2.xx"s : I launched FF and
SM (not at the same time, of course) via a batch file that checked the
date and time of the bookmarks file and copied it over in case the
bookmarks of the launched application were older. A little more
complicated than your approach.
