I have a new Windows 7 machine (Firefox 3.6.12) and want to move my bookmarks from my old XP machine (Firefox 3.6.12). I've read the help pages but find it incomprehensible. I don't want my whole profile moved (not that I could figure out how to do that), just my bookmarks. PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO DO THAT IN SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS. Thank you.

If you just want the bookmarks you just need to back them up, copy the file to the new computer and import them from that file. The details are shown here - backing up and restoring bookmarks.
