[olug] Mozilla question

[Bob McCoy]

The file location below was from Knoppix (Debian).  In RH9, the location
is
/home/<username>/.mozilla/default/<gobbledigook>.slt/bookmarks.html.

If you can get Mozilla to run, you can go to Bookmarks | Manage
Bookmarks | Tools | Export, and select a location (like your home
directory) to save the output.  That file can then be imported into
Konqueror, or viewed directly from any web browser.

Thank you for the update on Konqueror. Earlier, trying to import the 
Mozilla Bookmarks was a good way to crash Konqueror. Now it works 
smoothly when the saved bookmarks (as an HTML file) are imported (even 
though mine are over 3 MB. I couldn't find the bookmarks in the .mozilla

directory to import.
