Re: [tor-talk] How does the new browser know where to find old bookmarks?

You'll have to import them into Aurora from Firefox (or any other) by using the "Import & Backup" from bookmarks library. Either use Import from HTML, if coming from another FF version, or Import from another browser.
If this is Windows (or another OS- browser bookmarks work similarly), if the bookmarks weren't saved to default location, you'll have to BROWSE to the location in the import bookmark screen. It doesn't seem to remember any location other than default. You can easily browse to the correct location.

You * can * also just copy / paste the latest bookmark file (probably the .json format) from the old location / old version into new one. I've done this many times in FF. Works same in Aurora. If you COPY, just make sure it the latest date file (or date you want) & paste it into new version. You DEFINITELY want to backup existing bookmarks from the version you're working with (if there are any), before copying or importing old bookmark file to replace existing one. If something goes wrong, you can start all over.

Hello,

         I just upgraded the Tor bundle, I unzipped it into a different
folder than the last bundle, but when I tried to import old bookmarks it
opened to the location of the previous version's exported bookmarks,
which were not saved in a default location. How does the new browser
remember where the old browser saved the bookmarks?
