How can I import my (old installation) bookmarks toolbar to my (new installation)
I copied my home page from my old installation to another (new computer) - yadda.htm
I found out that the bookmarks toolbar is Installation Specific (boo) and that the export/import process on Firefox for the toolbar (according to Google) is hidden, convoluted. and a complete enigma (to me - can't be easy for anybody, really)
Could you please tell me how I can add to my new bookmarks toolbar from my old browser/installation without having to recreate them from scratch at my new installation?
Thank you.

Hello mjegi!
Firefox stores all bookmarks, toolbar layout, and settings** in the **profile folder**. If you can copy this folder, you’ll retain everything, including the bookmarks toolbar.
1. Locate the Old Profile Folder
On Windows 7, the profile folder is typically located at: C:\Users\<YourUsername>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ - Replace <YourUsername> with your windows username - Inside this folder, you ll see multiple subfolders. These are your Firefox profiles. - Identify the profile that contains your bookmarks toolbar (you can check by opening Firefox and looking at the
about:profiles page).
2. Copy the Profile Folder
- Right-click the profile folder and select "Copy". - Paste it into the same directory on your **new computer**.
3. Replace the default Profile (optional)
- If you want to use this profile as the default, rename the existing default profile (e.g. xyz45x.default) to something
like xyz45x.default.bak to avoid conflicts.
4. Launch Firefox
- Firefox will use the copied profile, and your bookmarks toolbar (and all other data) will be preserved.
