Helping my wife, I'm not familiar with Firefox. We saved to a hard drive a folder from Users>Application Support called Firefox on her Macbook (8 years old) which seemed to have her bookmarks and personal info imbedded. Upon opening her new MacBook Air, OSX 10.9.4 has a different architecture (ie, no Application Support folder any longer). So how can we transfer her info to her new computer, please?

You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:

In Mac OS X v10.7 and later, the ~/Library folder is a hidden folder.
