Sharing Bookmarks etc between 2 OS's

[Ed Smits]

Thanks for the tip about the mozilla profiles.ini, works perfectly for
what I want, keeps everything in sync, not just my bookmarks. I've
attached the df from both OS's, they are identical. What did you hope
or expect to see?

from Ubuntu:

edgars at manejais:/home$ df -h /home
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda4              72G   22G   51G  30% /home

>From Linux
bash-3.2$ df -h /home
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda4              72G   22G   51G  30% /home
