I think it would be nice if you could copy profile data from one profile to
another. I just recently had a corrupt cert.db file and I needed to create a new
profile. The only way I could see to copy over my bookmarks was to manually copy
the bookmarks.html file to the new profile directory.

I think the average user would not like this.

Thoughts?

You can use Bookmarks/Manage Bookmarks/File/Import Bookmarks

That only prompts you for a file and then the user is expected to know where the
bookmarks file is! That is asking a lot of the user I think.

I would prefer to see an option to copy another profile's bookmarks.
