Thanks for that clarification. It's an interesting change in the way
they do things. So it is the exported file that defaults to the name
bookmarks.html. I double checked the suggestion to export that file
from FF and import it into IE. Bookmarks are still dropped. Today,
however, only one root folder of bookmarks is dropped. Checking the
bookmarks.html file, that root folder doesn't contain many levels in
its hierarchy. The URLs and bookmark titles in that hierarchy are not
long either. Maybe the problem will eventually be solved with further
Windows Updates. If I run into another spate of FF crashes, I shall
re-investigate.
