That's it ! "Tags are the thing you have going for your Bookmarks system. Can't find any help on how to get Tags to transfer along with Import Export bookmark files to new computer. Trying to avoid any more Third Party software, especially for bookmarks but I hope I'm neglecting or overlooking something because Tags are a major part of your system. any suggestions please ? Thanks.

You need to use the backup/restore approach instead of the export/import approach. The JSON-format backup file is much more comprehensive in what it includes. This article has the steps:

Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer

Success?

Jscher2000 you're the man ! Thank you for the help. I knew it had to be lack of knowledge on my part as this was too big of an issue to go unaddressed.
