Retrieve old bookmarks from previous version of Firefox
I downloaded the new version of Firefox, but it is no supported by my mac book pro 10.7.5, and now my old Firefox is gone. So I would like to retrieve all of the bookmarks I had on my older version. And is it possible to download an older version of Firefox?

The last stable releases for MacOS X 10.7 and 10.8 were:
- Firefox 48.0.2, on August 24, 2016
- Firefox Extended Support Release 45.9.0, on April 19, 2017
If you don't need any of the features added in Firefox 46-48, then 45.9.0 is your best choice (most up-to-date).
http://archive.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/45.9.0esr/mac/
That lists all the available languages/locales. If you're not sure which one is the best fit, check the address bar when you're on this site and the auto-detected locale should be part of the URL (just after support.mozilla.org/).
Please make a backup of your profile folder first before installing. These articles should help get you to the correct location:
- Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles
- Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data
Inside your profile folder, the bookmarkbackups folder has compressed backups of your bookmarks. If Firefox 45 couldn't read compressed backups, you can use a tool on my website to convert them to another format: https://www.jeffersonscher.com/res/bookbackreader.html
