I just purchased a new desktop. Is there anyway I can restore all of the bookmarks from my Firefox that I used with the previous desktop?

I would like to restore the bookmarks and passwords that were stored in my previous computer that used Firefox as the main browser.

Hello,

First, if you have an account attached to the data in your older computer, you can sign into that account on the new computer and have all your data synced there.

If not, you can export your bookmarks and passwords.

To export your bookmarks from Firfox, Press Ctrl + Shift + O, (win) or Cmd + Shift + O, (Mac) to open library, then click import and backup, then select export bookmarks as HTML. After that, find a save location, and send that file to the new computer.

To import a bookmark file, get the exported bookmarks file, click the menu button, click settings, and then click import data. then, select the bookmarks HTML file and open it.


To export your passwords from Firefox, search about:logins into the search bar, then click the 3 dots in the top right corner of the passwords page, and click export logins. Next, read the disclaimer that your passwords are now in a text file, then click export. After that, you may be required for admin password to export it. If not, skip this step. Then, find a safe location for this file, then save it.

To import your passwords into Firefox, get the exported CSV file, then search about:logins into the search bar, then click the 3 dots in the top right, then click import from a file. After that, choose the CSV file (holds the passwords), and click done.

Hope it helps!

Yes, I soon as I signed in to Firefox, it synced.
