The best way to transfer bookmarks is to open the Bookmarks Manager on
the source system and export them by selecting [Tools > Export HTML] on
the Bookmarks Manager menu bar. Find the bookmarks.html file on that

[Tools > Import HTML] and navigate to the bookmarks.html file.
No that's not the best way. Maybe an easy one or one you're accustomed
to, but the way you're proposing will result in partial loss of
information. The proprietary bookmarks.html format cannot convey all
information of the current Places system. The only options (that I know)
that will persist all information are:
a) Copying places.sqlite. This will copy more than just bookmarks,
though, e.g. the browsing history.
b) Use SeaMonkey Sync.
c) Use Backup/Restore from the Bookmarks Manager. Unlike the
bookmarks.html format, the JSON format used here stores all relevant
Places data.
