They used to use bookmarks.html then .xhtml now it's in an SQLite
database. That should be all you need - I wonder if it's in the wrong
format. It's .mozilla/firefox (yet _another_ change in name) on my
debian box.
Alternatively try the amazing, wonderful "foxmarks" plugin. I used it
to sync my laptop and desktop and it does a terrific job. I actually
run it against my own server (webdav) so it's not using deltas to send
the bookmarks (which it does if you use formarks own server) but I
want my bookmarks to be private.
It even worked perfectly when was setting it up (about 800 common
bookmarks and 50 new ones on each).
