I have an older Macbook that I want to export the bookmarks to a newer MacBookPro. The software versions are not the same. How can I save my MacBook bookmarks? Thank You Gene Fiero

See this support article: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/export-firefox-bookmarks-to-backup-or-transfer

When you export your Firefox bookmarks in that manner, the files that is created is compatible with every version of Firefox that has ever been made, and into the near future, too.

You can find these files in the Firefox profile folder to backup or recover specific data.

  • bookmarks and history: places.sqlite
  • bookmark backups: JSON backups in the bookmarkbackups folder
  • SQLite files like cookies.sqlite (cookies) and formhistory.sqlite (saved form data)
  • logins.json and key3.db (decryption key) for Passwords saved in the Password Manager
  • cert8.db and possibly cert_override.txt for (intermediate) certificates stored in the Certificate Manager
  • persdict.dat for words you added to the spelling checker dictionary
  • permissions.sqlite for Permissions and possibly content-prefs.sqlite for other Site Preferences
  • sessionstore.js for open tabs and pinned tabs and tab groups

You can use this button to go to the current Firefox profile folder:
