How do I import my folders of bookmarks created on a Dell laptop to an Apple iMac and clean up the mess I've created trying to create a new set of folders and bookmarks on the iMac?

more options

I have been unable to find and import from the version of Firefox on my Dell laptop to an Apple iMac the folders containing bookmarked website addresses. In the process, I've created a mishmash of unwanted bookmarks. Please provide me a step by step process to import the folders to the version of Firefox on the iMac. The process to accomplish this seems very awkward and counter-intuitive. The same goes for creating new folders and bookmarking website addresses to those folders on the version of Firefox installed on the iMac.

The easiest way is to use the Sync feature to synchronize the bookmarks on both installations of Firefox. To use Sync, see How do I set up Sync on my computer?

Chris, Thanks for the tip about the Firefox Sync feature. A friend and I managed to use the Sync feature to "transfer" the folders of Bookmarked website addresses from the Dell to the iMac. We found that shutting off and rebooting the receiving iMac computer was necessary for all the folders to transfer over. Also, the entire process would have gone more smoothly had we had separate internet connections for the two computers, but we managed to shift our single internet connection between the computers as the Sync process progressed through its steps. Definitely a learning process. Thanks, Charlie
