I use Firefox in both Mac OS X and in Windows 7 on separate hard drive partitions on an iMac, and would like to copy the bookmarks I have created in the Mac Firefox profile to the Firefox profile in Windows 7. I tried exporting the bookmarks to an html file, but there does not appear to be a way to import them into the Windows Firefox profile. How do I do this?

To import an HTML file, in the bookmarks menu select "Show All Bookmarks" to open the bookmarks library. In the bookmarks library select "Import and Backup" and then "Import HTML"

Thank you, TonyE! Simple, clear and concise directions. I was a bit disoriented by Mozilla's UI changes, having just upgraded from Firefox 3.6 to Firefox 4, combined with differences between Mac and Windows versions of the browser.
