412256	2005-12-13 01:00:00	That error for the non-us debian ftp is expected, as it doesn't exist anymore. Read more here (www.mepislovers.org) and how to resolve it. Firefox is a hidden folder. Go to your home directory and then View > Show Hidden Files. Now look for the folder called .mozilla. You can follow your nose from there to find your bookmarks.html in your profile. A couple of tips: any file/folder with a period in front of it means it is hidden. An abreviation for your home directory is ~/ The file path for the bookmarks can also be written as: ~/.mozilla/firefox/default.75w/bookmarks.html	Jen (38)
