When I am importing a previously-exported favorites file, somehow, someway, I am losing some of the sites bookmarked. Now, I am exporting/importing a file containing upwards of 1,200 favorites - is this part of the problem? Should I reduce the size of my favorite folder? I've tried this process several times, and each time, I am losing a few dozen favorites. It's very frustrating. What can I do to fix this? Thank-you for your help. I am running on Windows XP.

Yes, I would reduce the number of favourites. Also, I would check some the favourite names to check for invalid characters that may stop them from being copied elsewhere.

Is there a quick way to search through the URL's and recognize those that are invalid, meaning, without having to individually click through the more-than 1,000 I have bookmarked?
