Migrating browsing history from Windows 7 to Mac.

I created a Firefox Profile and synced from Windows 7 to Mac.

Only a small amount of my browsing history was migrated (from 9 July 2013 onwards).

There are approximately 47 500 entries going back to September 2010.

I downloaded the History Export add-on and tried exporting my browsing history in the .html format. Firefox kept crashing and I could not complete this.

Is there any way to migrate my entire browsing history to my Profile and my Mac?

Many thanks Pankot2

hello, you could move over the whole places.sqlite database which holds your bookmarks & history from the profile of your old computer into the profile of your mac: Recovering important data from an old profile
