[NTLUG:Discuss] bookmarks !

I want to have the same bookmarks.html in my two installations
of Firefox. More than one message indicates that I can simply
copy (overwrite) the present one with the one I want. I have
found the bookmarks file in two places in my installation...

    /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.7/defaults/profile/bookmarks.html
    /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.7/defaults/profile/US/bookmarks.html

Now I (1) kill firefox; (2) overwrite bookmarks.html in both
places; and (3) restart firefox. It does not behave as though
bookmarks has been overwritten. It behaves as though it has
kept a secret copy of the old bookmarks. If Firefox is keeping
the old bookmarks, then the question is where?

This is probably another question, but ultimately, I will want
the bookmarks files to track. Thus it would be good if I set a
"prefs" within user.ps to an address that can be seen by either
system ( E:\bookmarks.html and /mnt/msdos/bookmarks.html).

suggestion?
Tnx,
Charles
