netscape navigotor problems


I am really in a mess now.
When I bookmark a website on IE6, I can always easily transfer all my bookmarks from one computer to another and so no need to re-visit those bookmarked links from the new computer to bookmark them individually all over again through the new computer’s IE6.
On my old computer, I can access my bookmarked links from :

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Favorites

And then I zip this folder and save the zipped file on a cd and insert the cd on a new computer and copy the zipped favourites folder onto the new computer.
Then finally I unzip it.
Walla !
Now, on my new computer’s IE6, I can easily see the bookmarked links which I bookmarked from my old computer.

Now, the problem starts when I use the latest version of Netscape Navigator.
On the :
C:\program Files\Netscape
I cannot see any folder called “My Favourites” or even “Favourites” where all my bookmarks are supposed to be residing.
Frankly, I have checked all the folders and files in the :
C:\program Files\Netscape
And no luck into finding the favourites folder.
And that is why I am stuck. I am unable to copy my favourites or bookmarked links from one computer to another when I am dealing with transferring the bookmarked links that were bookmarked on Netscape Navigator.
So, can anyone help me here ?
I mean, what do I do now to transfer my bookmarks from one computer to another where the bookmarks were done on Netscape Navigator ?

It's been years since I used Netscape, but if I remember correctly, the bookmarks are located in the Netscape directory as the "bookmarks" folder. Have you done a search on your computer for the word "bookmarks"? If you can't find the folder in the Netscape directory, it might be easier to search for it.

It's not supposed to be there. "Favorites" is IE's term for bookmarks. "Bookmarks" is Netscape's term. Look in
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Mozilla\Profiles\profilename\???.slt\bookmarks.html
There are all your bookmarks, listed in one single easy-to-transport and easy-to-edit html file

You can erase the first couple lines and last couple lines and paste what's left right into another bookmark file to add the old bookmarks to your new profile.
