You don’t need to open the file Mike, just copy it to the location of your firefox profile.

I mention the location in the post, if you missed it here it is…..

C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\\(your Firefox profile name is probably unknown to you … usually it is a random string of eight characters – you’ll probably just have to guess at this point, but it should be fairly obvious )

Everything went fine until I got to the actual file. What do I open the file with?? Using Ff just gives me a webpage showing the bookmarks.I am no closer to having the bookmarks on CD for a reinstall of XP.
