Hello guys,

How do I transfer Bookmarks from Firefox on a PC (Windows XP) to a new Mac?

It's a friend's new iMac.

Antony, I found this, on a Mac Forum:

To transfer your FireFox bookmarks from PC to Mac:

On your Windows machine, export your bookmarks,
To open Export, select File -> Export in Firefox's Bookmark Manager.
A dialog window will appear asking you where you want to save the file to.. Ensure that the exported file has the extension '.html' (not '.htm'). Rename if necessary.
Copy that file over to your Mac, and import the bookmarks using Safari's 'File' menu or Firefoxes.
To view your imported bookmarks, select 'Show All Bookmarks' from the 'Bookmarks' menu.
They should list your collection of bookmarks from your PC to your Mac as imported bookmarks.

But, it iS an old description (no FFversion listed). But, I saw a very recent thread, just in case.

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:2.0b7) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0b7

Thank you, that's a good start.

I will try that with friend's PC.

Thank you Fulvio,
