I recently purchase a new computer with Window 8. What a mess of an OS, what happen to common sense? Anyway, I downloaded Firefox instead of using explorer.
How can I import my bookmarks from my other laptop with WinXP to my new laptop Win8. Thank you for your help. Sincerely, Russ

If you want to take only bookmark backup, try this
- Goto Firefox Menu > Bookmarks > Show All Bookmark > Import/Export Bookmark > Export your bookmark.

Mozilla Firefox stores all your personal settings, such as bookmarks, passwords and extensions, in a profile folder on your computer, in a location separate from the Firefox program

The "Application Data" folder in XP/Win2K and the "AppData" folder in Windows Vista and Windows 7 and later versions are hidden folders.
