You inspired me to a new and different approach. -ProfileManager would not work for me. I copied the profile folder of my previous profile (elsewhere in Application Data). I made a copy of the profile folder used by current Firefox (as a backup), emptied the folder. I copied the content of the previous profile folder and pasted it in the current profile folder. Thank you.

Go to bookmarks>organize bookmarks>import and backup>export html 2. You will be able to save your bookmarks as html file. 3. copy this file to another pc 4. using other pc follow step 1 but this time instead of export html choose import html (you will be asked for file location where you saved the html you copied. For Firefox 5.x/6.x not sure for 4.x 1. Go to bookmarks (hit "alt" or enable menu bar) 2. choose show all bookmarks>import and back-up>export html 3. You will be able to save your bookmarks as html file. 4. copy this file to another pc 5. using other pc follow step 2 but this time instead of export html choose import html (you will be asked for file location where you saved the html you copied.
