How do I restore my bookmarks from an HTML file?
I have just installed Ubuntu 11.04 and I want to restore my bookmarks from an HTML file.
This used to be accessible via "Bookmarks-> Organise Bookmarks" but the "Organise Bookmarks" menu item no longer exists so I'm stymied.
This help system seems to think that it does exist, however, so please note that on my system, it does NOT. I suspect that hundreds, thousands, or even millions of new Ubuntu 11.04 users will be facing exactly the same problem.
I don't think users will be able to help with this one unless someone knows how to restore the "Organise Bookmarks" menu item. It's the only one that will do what I want and so there's no point recommending "Show All Bookmarks" as a solution. That doesn't work.
Finally, persuading this system that I really do have a new problem that isn't covered in the FAQs was a very irritating experience. I wonder if Chrome will know what to do with my "bookmarks.html" file?

"Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks" has been renamed to "Show All Bookmarks" in Firefox 4.
If the menu bar is hidden then click the Firefox button to open the Firefox menu and click the Bookmarks entry or click "Show All Bookmarks" to open the Library.

Thank you cor-el.
I eventually found the "Import and Backup" menu item on the Library window's menu and it does what I want.
My difficulty was due in large part to the way that Ubuntu 11.04 (released a few hours ago) displays window menus in the control bar at the top of the screen, not in the usual place, just beneath each window's title bar. To make matters worse, the menu remains hidden until the user takes the mouse pointer up there. Consequently I was unaware at first that the Library window even has a menu.
I think the feature is intended to save screen real estate but it's certainly going to take some getting used to over the next few days.
Anyway, problem solved and thanks again.

I can't for the life of me find anything about Importing bookmarks. Yes, I found the hidden menu at the top of the screen, and yes, I found Show All Bookmarks, but there is NOTHING about importing bookmarks. Sure, I can fart around signing up for "Sync" Firefox on all my computers, but what if I want to import bookmarks from Chrome? In ALL previous versions, importing bookmarks was a 10 second operation. This is MOST ANNOYING. I am going to install Chrome, and kiss Firefox goodbye.
Update to my previous posting. I just installed Chromium, and it took LESS than 10 seconds to import my bookmarks. Why would I waste any more time with Firefox?? I had intended to give Firefox 4 a chance to show me what improvements had been made, but who needs the grief. Bad move guys... bad move.
