Sharing Bookmarks?

[Joe]

Thanks.

I like Mozilla quite a bit better so far, but last I heard, development 
on Mozilla is all but dead.  Firefox was such a hit that most of the 
developers switched to working on it.

Currently, some major holes were found and patched in Firefox.  I'm not 
sure they were fixed in Mozilla.

I'll try the symlink.  I may even try my hand at editing the file.  As I 
recall, it's pretty human readable.
