Migrating browsing history from Windows 7 to Mac.

I created a Firefox Profile and synced from Windows 7 to Mac.

Only a small amount of my browsing history was migrated (from 9 July 2013 onwards).

There are approximately 47 500 entries going back to September 2010.

I downloaded the History Export add-on and tried exporting my browsing history in the .html format. Firefox kept crashing and I could not complete this.

Is there any way to migrate my entire browsing history to my Profile and my Mac?

Many thanks Pankot2
