I see it's in a hidden directory in $HOME: $ ls -l ~/.mozilla/firefox/<stuff>.default/bookmarks.html <stuff> looks to me to be random and most likely different on your system. (I use TAB-completion to find my way down the directory tree. Type part of the name and TAB; hit TAB twice to get a list of possibilities.) Then you can edit the command to open Firefox (up-arrow, home, right-DEL several times, type firefox, RETURN), or use the mouse to select and right-click to copy the proper path into Firefox. Set it as the home page in Edit menu Preferences item General tab. ____________________________________________________________________ TonyN.:' <mailto:tonynelson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ' <http://www.georgeanelson.com/>
