Can I copy bookmarks from my desktop to my laptop?
I have a Dell desktop (OS 7) and a Dell laptop (OS 8.1). I would like to copy/move all of my bookmarks from my desktop to my laptop, is that possible?
Thanks,

If these are the same type systems, copy what you want to a thumb drive.
If it's just a small bit of information, you can send yourself an e-mail containing what you want. Note: If you want to send links, use the HTML and NOT plain text.
You can copy files from one profile folder on a different computer to your current profile folder to recover/transfer specific personal data.
- bookmarks and history: places.sqlite
- bookmark backups: compressed .jsonlz4 backups in the bookmarkbackups folder
- cookies.sqlite for the cookies
- formhistory.sqlite for saved form data
- logins.json and key3.db (decryption key) for Passwords saved in the Password Manager
- cert8.db and possibly cert_override.txt for (intermediate) certificates stored in the Certificate Manager
- persdict.dat for words you added to the spelling checker dictionary
- permissions.sqlite for Permissions and possibly content-prefs.sqlite for other Site Preferences
- sessionstore.js for open tabs and pinned tabs
You can use the button on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page to go to the current Firefox profile folder or use the about:profiles page.
