I've installed ubuntu lucid lynx and want to move my bookmarks from hardy heron. Both OS are on the same hard drive on different partitions. I've tried using the import option in the library but can't find the appropriate HTML file.

You need to mount that other partition to be able to access files on it and then browse to the hidden profile folder on that partition. /home/user/.mozilla/firefox

You can only restore a JSON backup, unless you export the bookmarks in that other OS to an HTML file. See also http://kb.mozillazine.org/Backing_up_and_restoring_bookmarks_-_Firefox
