I have a few user names on my Desktop PC. I am running Windows 7 Home. And would like to consolidate my bookmarks lists. In other words so each user gets the same bookmarks listing containing the sites of every one of the users put together in an amagamated form without repeats; a sort of an unique Master List of all bookmarks to be installed for every user to have it as soon as they open Firefox. I am running Firefox 3.6 17, how do I make that Master List? Is that what is described as 'syncing'?

Thank you kindly

It will involve a small amount of work.

The basic process is export the bookmarks to an HTML file, then import the HTML files to one user account. You can then use an add-on to eliminate the duplicates. Finally you can export the master list to a JSON file, and then restore the JSON file to the other computers.

Note: The article refers to selecting "Organize Bookmarks" in the bookmarks menu, if any of the computers are using Firefox 4, you need to select "Show All Bookmarks" instead.

Once you have amalgamated the bookmarks into one user account, you can use the CheckPlaces add-on to remove any duplicates - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/checkplaces/

Finally, for details of how to export the bookmarks to a JSON file, and restore that file on the other computers, see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Backing+up+and+restoring+bookmarks

If you want to keep the bookmarks in sync, the Firefox Sync add-on may be of use to you (this is built into Firefox 4) - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/firefox-sync/
