I am trying to transfer my profile or at least my bookmarks from my old Mac to my new Mac and all the answer online start by saying click on IIII or some icon that I don't know what it means. I am desperate. I'll like anyway to transfer my bookmarks

Do you perhaps mean this? ≡ We call this the 'hamburger' Pressing this opens up the menu.

These instructions are for Firefox. 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.

I kept looking for the icons in my computer because all the instructions that i read said that I had to do the profile transfer with Firefox closed. Once I figured out that I can just sync the browsers it was awesome. It totally worked.
