How can I import Firefox bookmarks, now stored in User folder on same (new) PC, into Firefox?
How can I import Firefox bookmarks, now stored in User folder on same (new) PC, into Firefox? I have exported the Firefox bookmarks from my old PC into a [Windows 8] folder on my new PC. When I use the Firefox import facility, it will only import one bookmark at a time - and then it bookmarks all the main pages on the bookmarked website, not just the one which I originally bookmarked. It also does not import the information stored in the bookmark tag.

Copy your Firefox profile from your application data on your computer's hard drive.
Thanks ... but I am not sure where I find the Firefox profile and exactly what you mean by 'application data on the hard drive'. Could you send me a step by step guide for a basic user! Many thanks
