I've never done it, but I'm sure it's possible. Is your Windows and Linux on the same HD?
My Windows is on hda1 which is mounted in /mnt as hda1. So for instance as root I'd go get the Firefox file in Windows and copy it to my home directory thusly...
List profile's contents to make sure it's there...
Then, copy the Windows/Firefox/bookmarks file to my home folder...
After it is copied to my home folder, I'd use the Firefox importer to "install" it.
Open Firefox, go to "Bookmarks" - "Manage bookmarks" - file - import - imort from file. Then make you way to the bookmarks.html file you just copied to your home folder.
I can't see any reason this wouldn't work. If you need further help, let me know...
