My Desktop has over 100 bookmarks with their passwords. I bought a laptop with no firefox browser. the desktop has 3.6 ver which I am VERY familiar and do Not like your 8.ver. I have a save 3.6 setup firefox browser that I install in the laptop. Please tell me the steps to install all the passwords/bookmarks to the laptop. The desktop has Xmarks and Lastpass.They are NO help for what I want to do. Thanks

Hey tinner,

I think your best bet would be to use Firefox Sync. This will do everything you want. It is built into all Firefox builds after 4, but you can get it as an addon for older versions of Firefox.

I would seriously consider upgrading though. FF gets better and better with each release!
