This is interesting. Because of a change that evilBay made to their Watch
List and other pages yesterday to make access difficult, I decided that I would
bite the bullet and use Win7 here at home. I plugged in the Win7 hard drive,
took care of a few things, but then realised that I had numerous URLs on the
WWinXP drive that needed to be copied, so I went about copying the entire
bookmarks.html file, which is very simple, or so I thought.
Not any more. Seems that in a recent update of Firefox they did away with
the bookmarks.html file entirely and now store the URLs in some mysterious dark
area on the drive, possibly embedded in the program itself. So, to copy the
Firefox URLs to use with Firefox on another machine, you have to export the
URLs to an HTML file, then import the HTML file into the target Firefox, then
edit the entire mess to delete the old URLs.
It's at times like these that I fully realise just how much I miss the
simplicity and ease of using DOS.
Forward! Into the past!
