One of my coworkers is getting a desktop computer, and has two laptops. With that, she wants the data files (pictures, documents, etc) from both computers put on the new desktop, but before I start transferring the second laptop's data over, I have a question about the bookmarks. If the bookmarks from the second laptop are transferred to the desktop, does it clear out the already existing bookmarks, or does it simply append them? I want to know if I have to save out the bookmarks, and import them manually.
While I'm at it, are there likely to be any specific complications (Outlook is not at issue in this situation), beyond possible wiping out the already existing bookmarks?
Thanks for the response.

Hello,
unless the brwoser is Internet Explorer, you'll need to export and reimport bookmarks from the browser : Fab's does not edit bookmarks, it gets the file that contains them and copy it. File name is always the same, so if you have already copied them from first laptop, the one from second laptop will overwrite the first file.
About second question (that's a good thing that Outlook is not involved here!), here is a list of the items that could conflict :
- Desktop wallpaper : the last restored will be applied.
- Internet explorer's start page and settings : only the last restored will be applied
- Firefox profile (beware, you could get several profiles named "default" and that would be quite difficult to know which was from which machine.
- SeaMonkey profile : same thing as Firefox
- Waterfox profile : same thing as Firefox
- Comodo Ice Dragon : same thing as Firefox
- Pale Moon : same thing as Firefox
- Chrome Bookmarks : one the last ones restored will be kept
- Chromium Edge bookmarks : same thing as Chrome
- Chromium bookmarks : same thing as Chrome
