Hello,

I recent purchased an iMac and want to transfer all my bookmarks, settings, cookies, saved passwords and etc from my old PC. The PC is running windows 7 and my iMax is using OS X Lion. I've copied all the Mozilla Folder from my PC onto a USB drive. I've tried to copy all this info on to my iMac, but it doesn't see it. My bookmarks and stuff doesn't appear when I open Firefox on the iMac. Any ideas would be Greatly Appreciate!

Thanks,

Dennis

Hello Dennis,

You may export your firefox bookmarks or back them up from Windows 7 and then you should be able to import those into your Firefox installed on the Mac.

You could also use Firefox sync, that will sync even more than just bookmarks and is probably the easiest method.

   Bookmarks — including all tags, keywords, folders, and your custom menu order
   Passwords
   Preferences/Options of Firefox (but not of add-ons)
   History of sites visited in the last 60 days
   Tabs and tab groups 

See

Hi John,

Thanks for the quick response! I'll give the Sync a try and see how that goes. Can I sync from my copy of Firefox on my USB drive or do I have to be networked with my other computer?

Thanks again,

Dennis

No

The syncing is done between running firefox applications, so unless you are running firefox on a USB stick, such as firefox portable, or a linux os with firefox installed then no you will need to sync between the Windows machine and the Mac.

But you should be able to go down the route of restoring profille information using the usb stick, that is assuming the folder you ae mentioning is in fact the profile (and not just the firefox program files) .
