As far as I recall the last several versions of Firefox will import the book 
marks from Netscape including at least a couple of previous versions, but if 
need be you should be able to do it manually depending on how familiar you 
are with computer systems.

Firefox keeps its book marks as an html file which would normally be in the 
following path.
C:\Documents and settings\(User account name)\Application 
Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ (ID number)[Default]    At any rate when you 
get to the ID number there are a number of files and directories.  Don't 
mess with any of those except you will find a file named bookmarks.html. 
Rename it to something like bookmarks.bak.

"Make sure Firefox is not running".Then copy and paste the Netscape 
bookmarks into the directory where you found the Firefox directory.  If you 
run into problems you just delete the new file and rename bookmarks.bak to 
bookmarks.htm, but again make sure Firefox is not running when you delete 
and rename.  .

I've been trying to install Netscape so I can find the book marks in it, 
which "I believe" similar to Firefox.  They should be HTML, so when you find 
them you can copy and paste.  IE is a different format and requires the 
import utility.  The net is so busy today I can't download much of anything 
with my mail being the only thing that is fast (so far)

If I ever get Netscape installed I'll list the path to the bookmarks.
