How do I migrate bookmarks and passwords from Ubuntu to OS X.
My Ubuntu computer still boots but its hard disk may be dying. I want to migrate my profile settings from Ubuntu to OS X on my Mac. I copied my Ubuntu profile folder onto a thumb drive. Everything seemed to copy fine except for one symbolic link. I tried to copy the contents over the contents of the Apple Mac's profile folder, but it seems to have had no effect.

When you run Firefox on your Mac, a Firefox profile folder is created with default data and settings. You have to remove the contents of the new Firefox profile folder on your Mac (e.g., the bookmarkbackups folder, places.sqlite , cookies.sqlite, etc.) and then copy over the contents of your old Firefox profile folder to the Mac profile folder. You should do this selectively, just copying important files (like places.sqlite for bookmarks and browsing history). Recovering important data from an old profile lists important files and explains how to transfer the data to the new profile on your Mac. Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles explains where the old profile data is stored and how to save a copy.
