I currently have NS 7.2 for both Windows and FC2, sharing the same
profile. That includes the bookmarks and the mail information. Nice.

Is there any way to get Mozilla and Firefox to share their bookmarks?
I tried giving a symbolic link, but that did not seem to work.

No.... no easy way that I know.

The exclusive access cooperation that is needed does not exist and
multiple access breaks the files.  There may also be some format
differences.... 

You might export the book marks to a html file
for each browser and then have a single html file
that makes them both visible.

About a year ago I googled for a day trying to find tools that merged
Mozilla, Netscape123, etc play together and never found a tool that
matched my expectations.  Since a year is a long time give it another
look.
