[QUOTE="hughvane, post: 675929, member: 56231"] For Firefox, try this: Spotlight -> type Firefox -> the first folder listed, which will show Firefox in [B]Users/name/Library/Application Support[/B]. 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 a folder named bookmarkbackups, a heap of bookmarks with the Firefox emblem on them, plus a file called bookmarks.bak (backup) and bookmarks.html. I see the last two get modified regularly, which tells me they're a form of diary. Follow the same Spotlight process for Safari until you find the Bookmarks folder. It should be under [B]Users/name/Library/Caches/Metadata[/B]. Take all those book mark files and transfer them to the new drive under the respective directories you see above. [/QUOTE]
