I followed the instructions for restoring bookmarks from an older Firfox to a new one but it doesn't work.

I'm trying to get my old bookmarks installed with Firefox on a drive holding Win xp to Firfox installed on a different drive holding Win 7. I followed the backup and restore process in the Firefox help file but it doesn't work. Help will be appreciated because I have a slew of bookmarks that I would like to use with Win 7.

If you need to merge bookmarks then you need to export the bookmarks to an HTML file and import that file on the other computer. 

Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Export HTML
Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import HTML : "From File"
