setting up common location for mozilla bookmarks and email

[Robert Dege]

Actually, Mozilla installs ts preferences into a .mozilla folder.  Unless
it detects the existence of a .netscape folder, then it will use that.

There are 2 problems I see with sharing.  One, I don't know if Mozilla for
Windows uses the same config layout as Linux (though logically it would
seem sane).  Two, 7bit character encoding vs. 8-bit encoding.  aka,
Windows using the extra bit for carraige returns might make Mozilla think
the preferences (or email files for that matter) are corrupt.

Just some food for thought
