Is there a way to use Firefox in a new mac that will allow me to keep all of the bookmarks, history, passwords etc that are stored in my old Mac/Firefox?

Where is/are this file/files? Can I copy them and then simply insert them into the fresh download of Firefox that is in the new machine?

Thank you.

You won't be able to run Firefox version higher than the 3.6.x versions with PowerPC hardware.

For an unofficial Firefox 7 compatible version (TenFourFox) that runs on PowerPC Macs with OS X 10.4.11 or OS X 10.5.8 you can look at:

Firefox 3.6.x (Mac OS X 10.4 and later) can be found here:
