Migrating bookmarks from XP to FireFox Ubuntu
There are 3 methods to get your bookmarks, if you already have firefox on Windows, if you do not, and if you want to use Xmarks.
If there is no Firefox on XP, then Install Firefox on XP.
Use Firefox to import bookmarks, it might do this on first run.
Via Xmarks
Xmarks is a convenient way to synchronise bookmrks and setting across multiple firefox installations. While very convenient, it will embed itself into some pages such as Google (this can be disabled), and requires an account. Also, if privacy is a concern, I don't recommend Xmarks, as your information will be uploaded to Xmarks servers. There is no cost to use Xmarks.
1. (on XP) from Firefox, install the Xmarks addon
2. Restart firefox, Xmarks will pop up. Follow the prompts to set up Xmarks. Ensure you sync your bookmarks to the server.
3. (on Ubuntu) from Firefox, install the Xmarks addon
4.Restart firefox, Xmarks will pop up. Follow the prompts to set up Xmarks. Ensure you sync your bookmarks FROM the server, and delete the bookmarks on the computer.
