P Mac

Switching to a new Mac computer and trying to get the bookmarks back, especially the tool bar. I did the export and import steps. Both export to HTML and as a backup file. Next I airdrop it to the new computer and try and import it there. Seems to work (no errors), but no bookmarks. I have looked at google videos and tried searching you help area.

Chrome i just log in and it comes over, I remember losing everything in firefox last time I got a new computer and had to rebuild from scratch. I can't afford that again, please help.

Firefox might have imported your bookmarks to the Bookmarks menu instead of the Bookmarks Toolbar. You may need to call up the Library window ("Show All Bookmarks" or Command+Shift+O as in "Organizer") and move things around there.
