Have bookmarks on usb key backup, cannot figure out how to open firefox (already installed) to import the book marks .
I know how to take bookmarks from Windows 7 (firefox) and put them into another windows machine. I know to import them into Ubuntu, I have to open up firefox in Ubuntu (already pre-installed). I just cant find any bookmarks list in the Ubuntu firefox list that I can access, so I cannot import them using "import" (which everyone says glibbly) to get them in. How do I access bookmarks in the pre-installed firefox.

Hello,
You'll need to transfer the bookmarks backup file from your Windows PC to your Ubuntu PC - perhaps by emailing it to yourself or copying it onto a USB stick. Once you've done this, here's how to copy (import) them into Firefox on Ubuntu:
- Click the Bookmarks button
and select Show All Bookmarks.
- At the top of the Library window, click on Import and Backup and select Restore.
- Click Choose file
- In the new window that appears, browse for the bookmarks file, select it and click Open
- Your bookmarks from Windows should now be imported.
For more information, see the Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer article.

I got a good night's sleep and went at it again. I also observed that although I was able to put the bookmarks and other items like file, edit, tools on top, none of them worked. Aah! It had to be settings. I searched and found settings. It turned out that I had loaded the usb key of bookmarks into the machine, but not into mozilla. By changing the settings, file, edit, view, history, bookmarks, tools, help became operational.
Thanks for the assist too.
