By default Firefox stores your bookmarks in your profile. This is buried in under your name in Windows under ‘Documents and Settings’.
In my working from elsewhere project I needed to store my bookmarks under my own ‘home’ directory so I could manage them with CVS. With this I can work elsewhere, checkin at the end of the day, return home and do and update and continue.
To accomplish this you need to create a small file call user.js and store in your Firefox profile. This file tells Firefox to use another location to store your bookmarks. Here is a sample user.js file:
// Specify which bookmarks file to use:
user_pref(
“browser.bookmarks.file”, “C:\\home\\brad\\firefox\\bookmarks.html”
);

Lastly, see the heading “Use your Netscape 6/7 or Mozilla bookmarks in Firefox” on this page http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/tips
