I would like to use my Firefox Bookmarks on a differert computer. Can I do this and if so how do I do this?
I have a laptop at home which I use most of the time that has A lot of bookmarks on it for websites that I visit. I would like to be able to use these bookmarks that are stored on my laptop at home on other laptops that I might use at the library. Is there a way to do this and if so could you please give me step by step instructions?

The built-in Sync method really is not appropriate for a public computer.
You could export your bookmarks to an HTML-format file, which basically creates a very long web page full of links, and use that from the library computer in any of the following ways:
- Carry the file with you on a USB flash drive, and open the file on the library computer from the File menu (tap the Alt key to display the menu bar if it isn't displayed by default) without copying it to the system.
- Store the file in an online account that you might normally be accessing from the library computer anyway, for example, OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox, and open it from there. Since there is no limit on the number of Microsoft or Google accounts you can create, you also could create an account just for this purpose with the minimum of personal information in it.
- Import the file to an online service (either an existing account, or a bookmark-focused site) that you can access from the library computer.
The first step is the export, and this article has that covered: Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file to back up or transfer bookmarks.
Does any of that sound helpful?
