I have an XP-based workstation and want to export my bookmarks to my new Windows7-based laptop. Can you please describe the export/import steps?

You can do this via the bookmarks library.

The basic process is described in the Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer article. On XP use the manual backup method to backup the bookmarks to a file. Copy this file to the laptop, then when restoring choose the "Choose file" option and use that to import them from your backup.

You can copy more than just the bookmarks, see Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles for details.
