I suppose I could just leave it in the documents folder and use it from there, but that would not be the way it is intended.

Ok, first - the easiest way to install the file manager is to just navigate (using the web browser on your N810) to the link that I provided in the other post and tap on the version of the deb you want (ie: OS2007 or OS2008). That will automatically open up the Application manager and then viola follow the steps to install

Next, I was just able to import my FireFox bookmarks (I needed to do this anyway). I went into FF and selected Organize Bookmarks, then File->Export ->a file named bookmarks.html

I then transferred this over to my memory card using the USB cable. I opened the web browser -> Manage Bookmarks ->Menu -> Tools -> Import -> navigate to the bookmarks.html file that FireFox had generated. Viola, my FireFox bookmarks show up in a folder called "Imported Bookmarks".

As a side note, I didn't actually want all of my FF bookmarks, so before I transferred the html file to the card, I edited it in text editor to delete the bookmarks I didn't want.

Hope this helps
