In manually migrating application files and documents from an old Apple laptop (PowerBook running OS 10.4.11) to a new Apple laptop (MacBook Pro running OS 10.10.2), what Firefox files and documents, located where in my old computer, should be dragged and dropped into my new computer, where in my new computer? (I have not yet downloaded or installed Firefox on this computer.) Thank you very much!

You can look at this article to find the location of the Firefox profile folder if you haven't find it yet.

What data are you interested in and you really want to keep apart from the bookmark that you likely want to keep?

Almost all files used in Firefox 3.6 versions have been replaced by either other files or aren't compatible with the current release. If that computer is still working then best is to export the bookmarks to an HTML file and import this file in the Bookmarks Manager (Library).
