Hi, I am trying to save all my information (bookmarks, cookies, etc...) to an external HD, waiting to get another computer, both with FF. I save them to a html file, but now I am blocked. I don't want to send them to another browser, just another device. Could you please help me? Thank you very much

That I already did. But all I saw on the site is how to import to another BROWSER, That's not my question. I want to import them to FF in another device.

The bookmarks and history are stored in the places.sqlite database file in the profile folder and there are also ten JSON backups (one is created each day) in the bookmarkbackups folder.

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