Copy the folder from documents and settings/application data/.mozilla or you can use cloud storage to sync the systems via the web.

Thanks for your help.

Hello,

Firefox has some menus for that kind of operation:

- Menu "Bookmards" => "Show all Bookmarks"
- A new window opens, select the "Import and backup" menu (at the top of this window).

I personally avoided the the "Backup" / "Restore" option, becaus I did not know what it did exactly.
So I chosed "Export Bookmarks to HTML...", which allows you to have a look at the content of it before importing. For instance, you can open this file with gedit, and search for "HREF" to see which bookmarks are in there.

Of course, at the other side you will chose "Import Bookmarks from HTML". But be aware that the import is not very clever:

It imports all the exported Bookmarks AND all exported folders into Firefox, without destroying the old ones. So this operation ends up with you having some many bookmarks or folders twice. For instance you may have 2x the Bookmarks toolbar, 2x your "Favorites" folder, and so on.

This problem apart, this operation is very easy.
Have a nice evening.
