but my laptop was stolen, now I've gotten another laptop
and the guy has it set up with some annoying outlook thingy that is really frustrating...

I use firefox, I have a file saved to desktop that I want to add to the firefox bookmarks
( all my old bookmarks ) how do I do that?
I cant remember how I did it last time

click on bookmarks, then organize bookmarks and finely import and back up.  Should be fine after that.

On the newest firefox:

Bookmarks
Organize Bookmarks
Import and Backup
Import HTML
Make sure From an HTML file is selected, not IE or Opera
Should be straightforward from there to pick out your file

nope, i think because the attachment,which is in my yahoo email, somehow gets saved in microsoft outlook it prevents it from importing.
