Trying to move Firefox to new Win 7 computer. Firefox runs well on new computer, but I can't find Profile Manager to import my bookmarks. I have tried using the Search function but it just opens up Firefox.

Sorry, you don't need the Profile Manager for importing bookmarks.

Import is for bookmarks.html bookmarks files.
Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks -> Import & Backup - Import HTML... - from an HTML file

If you have a bookmarks backup JSON file, you need to restore that file.
Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks -> Import & Backup - Restore - Choose file

You can recover many other files from an older Profile. See this for instructions.

Edmeister, thank you! I am ashamed to admit that I meant address book rather than bookmarks. But somehow I have managed to import all my old e-mails and both address books so all is well.
