transfer of saved bookmarks to my new computer

when attempting to move Firefox bookmarks to my new computer, I click import data within the Firefox page. The computer asks me to select the file. I have no idea where the bookmarks reside and cannot find a file. What is the procedure to get this done?

Hi Tony, there are three methods to transfer bookmarks:

(1) Firefox Sync - assuming you were using Sync on your old computer

(2) Restoring a backup file that you transferred from your old computer to your new computer

(3) Importing an HTML export file that you transferred from your old computer to your new computer

Is #1 an option? See:

For #2, you could either create and transfer a manual backup, or find and transfer an automatic backup. I'll give you a link to the support article, but let us know if you have a backup from your old computer or still have access to it. Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer

For #3, if you still have access to your old computer, you can create this file on your old computer, transfer it over, then import it on your new computer:
