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 ?

In Firefox, which also uses the Gecko engine, it's stored in a file called bookmarks.htm, probably somewhere in the Application Data folder in your Windows profile. Just search for it.
