First of all thank you for solving my installation of Firefox on my new notebook. I have successfully installed Firefox on that new PC. Now I have another problem. I have successfully copied my Book marks from my desktop onto a USB stick in a folder named "Bookmarks" I am trying to 'import" the same Book marks in my Firefox on my new notebook. I cannot. I have tried various ways via "organise bookmarks" or "import" but I do not seem to be able to do it. Any suggestions?

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Backing_up_and_restoring_bookmarks_-_Firefox

Did you save (export) the bookmarks to an HTML file or did you create a JSON backup?

A JSON backup needs to be restored and will replace all currently present bookmarks.
An HTML backup is imported and those bookmarks are merged with the existing bookmarks.
