Suddenly, all my bookmarks to images at thesamba.com are getting
a "server not found" error message in my browser (Firefox).

The bad URL's go like: "https://www.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/xxxxxx.jpg".
Looking around, I find images in recent posts have URL's like:
"https://www.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/xxxxxx.jpg".

Do I have to hunt down all the old image URL's in my bookmarks and manually edit them? Damn.

Yes the "images. thesamba.com" thing hasn't worked for a while as it was no longer needed.

Off the top of my head, the easiest way to fix this would be:
In Firefox you can do an "Export to HTML" of all your bookmarks, then edit that file and re-import it.

Steps:
In Firefox:
1. Go to the Bookmarks menu
2. Select "Show All Bookmarks"
3. Select "Import and Backup"
4. Select "Export Bookmarks to HTML..."
5. Export it your computer desktop (or wherever).
6. Open the exported HTML file in Notepad or your favorite text editor program
7. Do a search and replace of http://images.thesamba to https://www.thesamba
8. Save the file
9. Re-import the HTML file into Firefox using the same menus in steps 1-4 but select "Import Bookmarks from HTML..." instead in Step 4 above.
Done!
