I have a very old iMac that I have been using for 10 years. I recently got the most recent version of Apple's Mac Mini, which I of course use Firefox on, and I also use Firefox on my Dell Netbook. On the old iMac is a quite extensive list of bookmarks that I have no idea how to port to either the netbook or the new Mac Mini. The troubleshooting ideas I've seen don't really address my problem. Can anyone give me very simply-stated instructions on how to sync up all my bookmarks?

Does that old iMac have a Firefox 2.0.0.x version installed?

If that is the case then you need to copy the file bookmarks.html to the new computer and import that file in the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.
