I only have bookmarks menu and bookmarks toolbar folders in there.

Alexander,
Sorry for slow reply, Unfortunately I do not have backup requested, I
got fed up with bookmarks and loosing sound so I re Installed and forgot
to backup files for your use. Will not forget next time. My old computer
which does have relavent backup of Home folder which was used following
8.04 installation is malfunctioning and I don't know how to access due
to continuous re-booting.
My sincere apologies.
Bruce

Alexander,
I am now quite embarrassed for wasting your time, will do better next
time, if there is a next time. All seems to be running pretty well so far.
Thank you,
