Oliver, try copying your bookmarks file to where ever you want it on
both computers, then, in the Bookmarks Manager, try File->Open Bookmarks
File.

Might do what you want.

Why don't you just share the folder like you would share any other folder?

It's in your profile:
Application Data> Mozilla> Profiles> It will be the ".slt" folder.

Someone else can correct me if I'm wrong with this advice.

Thanks a lot four your advice, I used the option via Bookmars Manager
and open file
as I already have shared directories that I synchronize regularly ..

Cheers

Oliver

Don't want to rain on your picnic, but since opening a bookmarks file
from Bookmanager has the effect of permanently changing the
bookmarks'file location, here are at least two consequences which need
be taken into account:

- since the bookmarks file is in a shared folder, when you will be on
the move with your laptop, one of the two machines will loose access to
the bookmarks'file, depending on the location of the shared folder.
Obviously, you do not want this machine to be your laptop!
- when the two machines are connected, do not launch SM at the same
time on both machines. Obvious, but easy to forget ...

Since my home network comprizes two desktops and one laptop, I came
across the very same problem a long time ago. I decided on dayly updates
from the machine which I consider Master, not only of the bookmarks
file, but of security files and address book files, among others.

Of course, all this assumes only one user is allowed to make changes in
the bookmarks. Otherwise, you are obviously getting into a totally
different environment :=).

I'm totally lost on why you would say do not have both
program accessing the same bookmark file at the same time?
I use the same bookmark file for both SM and FF and they're
both open at the same time, and there are no problems
whatsoever.

Well, unless a file is shared by design on a server, I am of the
opinion, it is not safe to open it with two different programs at the
same time. The risk of conflict is there, AFAIK, even if, this risk is
limited in your case, alone behind the same machine.

I prefer to err on the safe side, but I am learning everyday!
