The bookmarks in Firefox 2.0 are in HTML format.
Firefox 3.0 uses a .JSON format. See:
<http://www.tweakguides.com/Firefox_9.html>
<http://kb.mozillazine.org/Bookmarks_not_saved>
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSON>
When you save in HTML format, you lose all the formatting, indexes,
and non-HTML junk from the JSON file.

In Firefox, type "About:config" into the URL box.
Inscribe "bookmark" in the Filter box.
You should see all the buried options for tweaking the bookmarks. Save
the originals or you may have problems recovering from your tweaks.

Also see various backup extensions for Firefox.

Whew! I'm glad I resisted the urge to go to Firefox v3 ;-)
