I already use FF on my current laptop. I need to put on my new laptop WIN 10 . I want to make sure I get all settings,ext and MOST imp all my bookmarks. I have read about PROFILES etc and do not have enough confidence to follow instructions. Can I just install FF on my new laptop and sign in and retrieve all the above mentioned esp my bookmarks?
