I have a Dell desktop (OS 7) and a Dell laptop (OS 8.1). I would like to copy/move all of my bookmarks from my desktop to my laptop, is that possible?

Thanks,

If these are the same type systems, copy what you want to a thumb drive.

If it's just a small bit of information, you can send yourself an e-mail containing what you want. Note: If you want to send links, use the HTML and NOT plain text.

You can copy files from one profile folder on a different computer to your current profile folder to recover/transfer specific personal data.

  • bookmarks and history: places.sqlite
  • bookmark backups: compressed .jsonlz4 backups in the bookmarkbackups folder
  • cookies.sqlite for the cookies
  • formhistory.sqlite for saved form data
  • logins.json and key3.db (decryption key) for Passwords saved in the Password Manager
  • cert8.db and possibly cert_override.txt for (intermediate) certificates stored in the Certificate Manager
  • persdict.dat for words you added to the spelling checker dictionary
  • permissions.sqlite for Permissions and possibly content-prefs.sqlite for other Site Preferences
  • sessionstore.js for open tabs and pinned tabs

You can use the button on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page to go to the current Firefox profile folder or use the about:profiles page.
