I will be receiving a new HP Laptop to replace a 2013 Dell Inspiron desktop and would like to to transfer my Firefox browser, settings and bookmarks when it arrives in a couple of weeks. Can you help with the easiest way for me, who has some knowledge but not the greatest at Tech. ? Thank you !

Please read Back up and transfer your Firefox data to a new device.

Note that Sync has some limitations, especially when it comes to syncing History, and also only a limit set of data is transferred via Sync.
