In order to upgrade my OS X to Leopard (previously running OS X 10.4.11 on a G4 Power PC iMac, approx 7 yrs old), I had to completely reformat my HD. So I first copied the entire contents of my internal HD to an external HD. After installing OS X Leopard, I began reinstalling all my software, including downloading and installing Firefox. I would like to be able to retrieve the bookmarks I had in my previous version of Firefox, as well as the saved passwords. Can I do this? What files do I look for and where on my previous HD?
