why dont you inform how to bring bookmarks from firefox on windowsxp to firefox on windows7?
I am using Firefox for many years, I never use internet explore, I have a new laptop with windows7, and old big PC with windows xp, on both computers I installed Firefox, the problem is I cannot bring bookmarks from my old computer (it was very easy to bring them from windows xp to windows xp, or from windows 98 to windows xp, but it seams impossible to bring them from windows xp to windows7, and no instruction from Firefox. If somebody is using Firefox for many years, doesn't keep bookmarks on internet explorer, please give an instruction how to bring bookmarks from Firefox on windows xp to Firefox on windows 7.
