It can be copied directly into a new favorites folder on another PC or user. Only duplicates will be overwritten. Firefox : Slightly more complicated. Navigate to the folder C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\[USER NAME]\APPLICATION DATA\MOZILLA\FIREFOX\PROFILES\q9fkzms1.default. The file named BOOKMARKS stores all of your favorites in that single file.
