Docs&settings only shows bookmarks from Int Explorer used previously, not Moxilla. How can I save the bookmarks which are shown correctly when using MF?
I want to save my bookmarks as I have done periodically since 2000 using Xp. For copying to F drive or USB, procedure is open C drive, Documents and settings, my name, Favorites
I have hundreds of sorted bookmarks which I update fairly often. Changed to MF about five years ago. It looks like nothing has been added to the Favorites within Documents and Settings since then - all have the blue Int. Explorer logo, none in Moxilla colours. I was unaware of this as all bookmarks are shown correctly to left of desktop.

Firefox bookmarks are in the places.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile folder.

I found the file but could not open it.
http://shell.windows.com/fileassoc/0409/xml/redir.asp?Ext=sqlite This came up from Microsoft and I downloaded & ran REGSERVO This quickly found 135 errors so I stopped it fearing it was not authentic.

There are three basic options
- You can backup the bookmarks in a form that Firefox can use. And these include any tags with them.
See Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer - Firefox stores History in the same database: 'places.sqlite the whole of that or even the whole of the profile may be backed up if necessary.
See Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles - You may back them up by export / import as HTML. These are the same sort of files as is used for IE favourites / favorites. (These will append or tack on to existing bookmark collections)
See Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file to back up or transfer bookmarks
CARE if you restore bookmarks from a backup it overwrites your existing bookmarks so always back them up manually before doing any restore.
Firefox creates its own library of bookmarks. It is possible to add HTML files from IE to these. You will not be able to make sense of Firefox's .json or .sqlite files other than by allowing them to be used within Firefox. The HTML files may probably be opened directly by Firefox or some other programs such as Word Processors.
