I'm not familiar with Mac's, but on Windows the user may need to un-hide the hidden files and folders on the external drive to the the folders which contain the Firefox Profile folder.
Thanks for the detailed explanation. One question though. What version of Windows did you have on your HP? e.g. Windows XP, Vista, 7
Thanks! handsomeorlandoman
Not familiar with the Mac file structure either but you can transfer the entire content of your Firefox profile replacing entire content of a firefox profile you created on new HD. For me copying over a few files was out of the question all of the files are updated and I wasn't about to reinstall 150+ extensions and set up configurations for everything and to do that for that 20 profiles and .ini file. Except for 3 most didn't have a lot of extensions but it would be rather impossible.
I copied everything from the Mozilla folder down in the user libraries so all my profiles were set, it did something similar for application libraries.
