Bookmarks behave unexpectedly in F9Alpha Firefox
FF3 uses a changed bookmarks structure, rather than a flat file it uses a
database. You can import a flatfile bookmarks.html, but it will not keep it
updated as FF2 does (so you cannot share your bookmarks across distros/oses
quite the same way as FF2).
Try to import the old file manually.

It navigated to the bookmarks.html file, then when I selected the file
and clicked Open, it returned to the Show all Bookmarks window with no
new bookmarks added.
I'm underwhelmed. What did I do wrong? Is this just not functioning yet?
I had to try it several times myself to get mine to load. I used to keep the
bookmarks.html linked to a shared location from all my machines before I started
using foxmarks to sync them.
Try loading the file a few times, and quiting FF in between. Try creating a new
firefox profile and loading them right away (firefox -ProfileManager). To
answer the obvious question, no its not working too well yet. AFAIK they have
yet to really address what they will do about this; I saw a blog post some time
ago about doing an auto-import of bookmarks.html when FF3 is installed/upgraded
from FF2, but then not changing it after that. So anyway I'm not sure what the
status of that is. Mine did import after 3-4 tries. :) And I did not have to
edit the file to make it work.
