    I have used Netscape and Firefox in their various versions for many years; but, I don't use the default location for the Bookmarks.html file. In all previous versions of these browsers, I've kept my Bookmarks.html file at D:\AC\Netscape\Bookmarks.html. The line I always pasted into the Prefs.js file to accomplish this is:

    user_pref( "browser.bookmarks.file ", "D:\\AC\\Netscape\\bookmarks.html ");

    Firefox 3 is ignoring this line in my Prefs.js file.

    Anyone know how I can get Firefox 3 to use D:\AC\Netscape\Bookmarks.html?

    Alex,

    Take a look at this article: How to move the bookmarks in Firefox 3. I haven't tried it yet, and probably won't. It simply isn't possible to have a common Firefox 3.0 Bookmarks file for multiple Profiles, or share on a LAN.
