Callum, you may want to consider the following cookie settings (the wording could be different in Mozilla than it is in Firefox) - x means selected:
[x]Accept Cookies
[x]From the originating website only
Keep cookies until: [I close Firefox]

This will allow you to log in to every site you care to mention, but will stop cookies from external servers (which are usually tracking cookies from banner ads). This will stop every bit of spyware you come across in its tracks - and the odd ones that get through are purged as soon as the browser is closed - meaning, they find out less about you than if you had it sitting there for ages.

Your problems with adding bookmarks to Firefox should be a mute point, as it can import them from IE, Opera, and any other Gecko browser. If that fails, you can copy bookmarks.html between the two profile folders (usually %appdata%/mozilla/profiles/randomname and %appdata%/mozilla/firefox/profiles/randomname )
