You can go to File -- Import and Export and a wizard will walk you through
exporting the Favorites as an htm file.  Copy that file into Linux (or from
your Win partition in Linux etc.) and then import from the browser of choice or
just open the favorites.htm in the browser to get clickale favorites...
