Hi,

One way would be to attach/connect the hard disk of the old PC to the new PC. The dedicated hardware forums would also be helpful in this regard:

Once done, you can then copy/overwrite the places.sqlite file from the old hard drive's Firefox Profile Folder hierarchy into your current profile. The places.sqlite stores both the bookmarks and history. You can open your current profile folder from inside Firefox: Help (Alt + H) > Troubleshooting Information > Show Folder, and exit Firefox before copying/overwriting. There are also a number of other files you may want to copy. Please see this.
