[SOLVED] Can you transer Bookmarks?

I have a bunch of Firefox bookmarks on my machine and was wondering if/or where would I put them in Ubunta so Firefox will recognize them?

Hi,

I would take a look at this linux.com feature, and 13 great free backup programs. I haven't looked to closely at the 13 programs but some of them might be helpful.

Cheers!

I just copied the file and then imported it using the Import Function in Organize Bookmarks

It's worth pointing out, there are also plugins like Foxmarks that let you sync between copies of Firefox. I think they might be improving it to work with Safari and maybe one or two other browsers. I haven't tried the others, but I'm a fan of Foxmarks.

Also, I think most browsers can import and export bookmarks as HTML. I haven't tried much cross-browser bookmark transferring, but it's there.
