iMac G5 (10.3.9) display died. Saved hard drive as external disk. Can't import bookmarks from Firefox 2.0.0.2 to use on Mac Mini (10.4.11).

My G5 ran OSX 10.3.9 (highest functional version for that hardware). My Mac Mini (core solo) runs OSX 10.4.1.1 or thereabouts. I don't like the way any other browser works on the Mini, so I want to continue using Firefox, which was my default browser on the iMac, and I had years and years' worth of bookmarks on the iMac that I hope I don't have to rebuild one at a time. The iMac crash involved the display; the hard drive is completely functional and is in a new external drive case. The Apple Store folks said they're not allowed to work on such an old machine and likely it couldn't be repaired anyway. So, I have Firefox and presumably all its bookmarks (and maybe bookmarks backups) on the external hard drive, but the version of Firefox I copied to the Mac Mini does not appear to include any of my bookmarks, and the Firefox web site instructions for restoring Bookmarks from Firefox to Firefox don't address this older version. (I've even tried opening Firefox on the external drive and all I get is the 'clean slate' version with none of my old bookmarks.) How do I restore bookmarks from one version of Firefox to the same version of Firefox, just on a different, newer OS?

Firefox 2 versions use the file bookmarks.html to store the bookmarks.

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Backing_up_and_restoring_bookmarks_-_Firefox

With Mac OS X 10.4 you can use Firefox 3.5 or 3.6
