During the summer my mac laptop crashed when I was traveling overseas. My repair person saved my firefox data for my bookmarks and tabs because he couldn't figure out how to restore them or add them back in after restoring my laptop. Is there someone that can help me with that?

Hey,

If the data was exported into a HTML File you can easily restore them following the steps here: Import Boomarks from an HTML file.

Otherwise I'll suggest checking out the other Knowledge Base articles on importing Bookmarks.

Firefox uses two locations for the Firefox profile folder.

Location used for the main profile that keeps your personal data (Root Directory on about:profiles).

  • ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/<profile>

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