Is your old computer still running? You can migrate your bookmarks by creating a "backup" file and "restoring" it on the new computer. I put these in quotes to distinguish from the older "export" and "import" procedures, which would be the backup plan.

Some articles that might help:

Any luck?

Also... if you literally mean Favorites, like IE Favorites, you can copy the entire Favorites folder from your old user profile to your new user profile. Or do a similar export/import process (IE File menu).

Windows XP:

  • C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\

Windows Vista and later:

  • C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\

Note that the "AppData" folder in Windows Vista and later Window 7+ versions and the "Application Data" folder in XP/Win2K are hidden folders.
