	Note: For Firefox version 3 and later, the bookmarks.html file is no longer used. In such cases the above method will not work. You have to manually edit the bookmarks.html file to add web links. Each user in the system has such a file located in the /home/user_N directory. Use the existing web links as a template and add your own manually.
