Mint, when you export the bookmarks, they are in a simple flat text file that is visible and completely separate from the firefox application. You can save it on your desktop and open it with any other browser that you want and look at them. It is just an html file. Heck, you can open it the MS Word if you'd like. The bookmarks are there. They are nested in some HTML code, but like I said, the bookmarks are there. If you're going to complain about Firefox freezing then balk at the solution, then you have no one to blame but yourself. IE is no longer supported on Mac, it hasn't been for nearly 5 years, and it likely never will be supported again. The internet is an evolving landscape and browsers need to be updated to accommodate it. Using Firefox 1.07 is liking dropping and Amish man into modern day Berlin and asking him to communicate using 18th century German. They might be able to get an idea across but it certainly won't be a smooth transaction. Being cautious of updates/upgrades is wise. Being morbidly afraid of them is unwise. As long as you have exported your bookmarks, you have an escape plan, a parachute if you will. You can then remove firefox 2.0 and install 1.07 if you'd like. You can import the bookmarks into other browsers. Heck, you can use quicktime or realplayer to display a webpage in a pinch.
