want to transfer bookmarks from previous laptop to current laptop. There doesn't seem to be an option. I transferred files via USB Flash drive. I was disappointed that Firefox didn't carry same bookmarks when I signed into new laptop. I can't load bookmarks onto a flash drive.

These instructions are for Firefox. Other browsers should also be able to do this.

These instructions will combine the new bookmarks with the old.

Open the Bookmarks Manager; Press the Alt or F10 key to bring up the toolbar, and select Bookmarks. Hot key is <Control> (Mac=<Command>) <Shift> B.

Once the window is open, at the top of the page, press the button labeled Import and Backup. Select Export Bookmarks To HTML, and follow the prompts and save it to a HTML file. Copy the file to another computer/profile. Repeat the instructions above, BUT select Import Bookmarks From HTML.
