Keep in mind that Firefox 3 uses an sqlite database to store bookmarks,
history, session, etc.. The 'bookmarks.html' file isn't read anymore,
except during initial profile conversion.

Thus, you will need to import the resultant HTML manually into your
firefox profile.

How exactly do I import my HTML file into my ff3 profile?
I.e: what do I click-on to find the import string?  Note that
my konqueror bookmarks seem to be there, but a warning dialog
pops up constantly whenever I bring up firefox3.

Because I'm using neither of them, just a guess: Can Konqueror
export the bookmarks as HTML file? Then they could be opened
in Firefix 3. Maybe there's another export functionality in
Konqueror or import functionality in Firefox? Maybe via CSV?

You can export bookmarks in a number of formats, but you do it from the
bookmark editor's menus.

I think konq uses XML; FF uses HTML.  Will check ff3 for an import fn.

I don't know how other browsers work - and haven't investigated this in 
years - but the old Netscape/Mozilla way was to store bookmarks as an 
HTML file, e.g. ~/.mozilla/default/xc43whpq.slt/bookmarks.html


Assuming both browsers work this way, maybe you could symlink one to the 
other?

Yes!  Thanks to both you gents, RW and Polyt.  In konq there was
Bookmarks- edit [pops up the Edit file].  Then File - Export,
and choose HTML.  Save somewhere until mv to the firefox
directory.

So a lot of messing around, but it saved me centuries of
typing,:)
