FC9, Firefox-3.0.1 The Bookmarks I moved into .mozillia/firefox-default folder from another box and Firefox-3. The bookmarks I put on my laptop in .mozillia/firefox-default folder can't be read by Firefox-3 , even if I do a "import" of Bookmarks it can't find any Bookmarks, I have a copy in my /home/user directory. It still is reading the old Bookmark file that I deleted from .mozillia/Firefox-default folder

That's three times you typed ".mozillia" instead of ".mozilla". Could that be your problem?

I do not have this folder. There are bookmark backup files buried in the .mozilla folder though perhaps you need to delete them.

They are in the "default" folder and I did delete them, but to no avail.

when you moved old 'bookmarks.html' to new '*.default', did you do an 'over write'? file would have been move with some kind of file change notification unless you did a 'forced move'.
if you made move as your current user, did old 'bookmarks.html' have a different 'user|group|permissions'?
if you made move/copy or what ever to '*.default' folder, and firefox was open, file you moved/copied may have been over written by firefox.
safe procedure in moving old bookmarks to '*.default' is to use a different name or move to a different directory and import from that directory.

You'd want to be sure to do it while Firefox was NOT running, too.

only if he moved old 'bookmarks.html' to '*.default' directory, and why 3rd paragraph, and 4th paragraph explains how to if open.
