[QUOTE="hughvane, post: 674660, member: 56231"] I installed Th'ird on an elderly friend's older iMac and when I opened it for the first time, it (from memory) asked me if I wished to import addresses. When Yes, it prompted me through various relevant files and folders (from OLE), but that was on the same computer. Here's a lengthy, Heath Robinson way to import bookmarks: Spotlight -> type Firefox -> the first folder listed, which will show Firefox in Users/name/Library/Application Support. Click that folder in S'light. When it opens you'll see another folder called Profiles. 2x-click that folder after which you'll get another folder (with a strange name) in which you'll find all your bookmarks showing as html files. Drag each one (hope you haven't got too many) across the FFox icon and then Cmd D to bookmark it. I guess the other way is to copy the FFox folder from App Support straight across from the old Mac to the new, parking it in that directory. [/QUOTE]
