Simply set your bookmarks.htm as the startup page like I do. No
conversion is necessary. Hell, I even have my (largely unused) IE set
to open on my bookmarks.htm.

Look in this folder:

"C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Mozilla\Profiles\(username)\sivckilt.slt"

Do a search for 'bookmarks.html'.

Thank you... but

It turns up the defaults, but not the actual file

Unless you have more than one profile, bookmarks.html is your actual file.

Don't need a utility. Go to edit/preferences/navigator; use "choose
file" to pick your home page.

Go to:

http://www.holgermetzger.de/pdl.html

for tips on finding your bookmarks file; they're in different locations
depending on your os. I don't know why a simple search doesn't pull up
your bookmark file; I can find a bunch on my xp home machine.

Good luck

No utility needed.

Step 1: Find your bookmarks file

1) In the URL bar, enter "about:config" (without quotes)

2) Look for the line "browser.bookmarks.file"

3) Copy the value it is set at (right click on the line)

Step 2: Set browser start page

1) Go to menu, Edit | Preferences | Navigator

2) Into Home Page Location, fill in value from step 1.

3) In Display on Navigator Startup, select radio button "Home page"

4) Click OK button.

That should do it. I'm using a Mozilla 1.8a2 nightly, so these
instructions might be slightly different for whatever version of Mozilla
you're using.
