How to copy my Firefox bookmarks and paste them into another computer?

OK. I found an answer in a thread here but it is already closed. I have an additional question. The moderator said there:

Depending on what you want to do there are a couple of options.
If you want to replace the bookmarks on the other computer with the bookmarks from your desktop, use the method in this link to backup the bookmarks to a file and then restore them on the other computer - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Backing+up+and+restoring+bookmarks
If you want to add the bookmarks from the desktop to those that already exist on the other computer, you need to export them to an HTML file, and import that file on the other computer. See these links for details:
https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Exporting+bookmarks+to+an+HTML+file
https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Importing+Bookmarks+from+an+HTML+File
I want to do the second one - "add the bookmarks from the desktop to those that already exist on the other computer"
The problem is that my Firefox is version 4.0. I read somewhere in the bookmarks topics that I should have done nothing before upgrading to version higher than 12.
The thing is my computer is 8 years old and I have only 512 MB RAM. There is no way to upgrade more that v.4.0. My computer can not handle it.
Any suggestions? Can I export and import with v.4.0 safely?

You would have to export the bookmarks to an HTML file on the old (XP) computer.
*Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Export Bookmarks to HTML
Then you can copy this file to an USB stick and import this file in Firefox on the other computer.<br />
Importing an HTML backup will merge those bookmarks with already existing bookmarks.
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Open Directory)

  • My mac is no longer supported by firefox. Can I recover my bookmarks and import them into another browser?

    The detail is in the question

    FF update to 13 and now you can't open ? sorry about that.
    1. Download (with your safari) a copy of 3.6.28 from
    http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older
    2. '''Trash''' the current Firefox application to do a clean install.
    3. Install the version that you have downloaded (3.6.28).
    Do not select to remove your personal data, your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks or other personal data.

  • How do I copy links and content from 1 tab and paste them in another?

    I'm trying to do my homework, which requires me to post where exactly I got the information. I need to copy web links listed in one tab and paste them into my blog in the other tab.

    You can copy the full URL for the page you're viewing from the Awesome Bar:
    <b>CTRL</> + <b>L</b> selects the full contents of the Awesome Bar (including http, etc. headers).
    <b>For Windows</b>:
    Copy with <b>CTRL</b> + <b>C</b> and paste with <b>CTRL</b> + <b>V</b>.

  • Can you NOT copy an Amerture image and paste it into keynote?

    I'm able to highlight an image in iPhoto, copy it, and paste it into another Mac app like keynote no problem. But my trial version of Aperture doesn't allow me to do that. How come?
    Yes, I should be able to drag the image into a Mac app, but often they get out of sync and the recent image I've imported into iphoto is not available for dragging. So I just copy and paste it.
    But what's up with Aperture in this area?

    To use images from the media browser, you must generate previews of the images first. It sounds like the "automatically generate previews for every new project" is turned off under Aperture >Preferences>Previews. To generate a preview for a photo to use in the media browser, right click it and select "update preview". The quality of the preview photo is determined by the settings in the Previews tab found under the Aperture>Preferences menu.

  • How can I save my bookmarks, and email them?

    I would like to save my bookmarks, and email them to one of my Gmail accounts. This way I can download them into another computer.
    How do I do this?

    A couple of methods.
    If you want the bookmarks on the other computer to be replaced with the bookmarks on your current computer, follow the procedure in the [[Backing up and restoring bookmarks]] article to backup the bookmarks to a json file which you can email, and then restore those onto the other computer.
    If you want to add the bookmarks to the other computer, but still keep the bookmarks that are already on the other computer, you need to export them to an html file. To do that see [[Exporting bookmarks to an HTML file]]. You can email the html file, and import it to the other computer, for details see [[Importing Bookmarks from an HTML File]].

    Can you zip up a few of your GoPro images, upload them to dropbox.com and post a share link, here, so others can experiment with them, or do you mean this issue is global to all camera models?

    To import music into your iTunes library on the computer go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Add items to iTunes and follow the instructions
    Delete the "songs" that do not play in your iTunes library and reimport them.

  • After hiighlighting a word and pasting it into another document, the clipboard does not clear ;when I hit enter it pastes again and again. How do I fix it?

    When I highlight a word or phrase and copy to the clipboard, then paste it in another area the clipboard does not clear the phrase. Therefore, every time as I type and hit the enter key it continues to paste the phrase all over my document. I do have the latest download of Firefox installed (16.0, win 7 and that is when this started. How do I stop this obnoxious behavior so I can type a sentence with normalcy?

  • How can I transfer Firefox bookmarks from one Mactintosh to another?

    Had to reload foxfire onto Mactintosh and need to import the bookmarks on FireFox on my other MActintosh.

    Found the easiest way was to to use the Firefox Export function to create a Bookamrks.html by going to Firefox bookmarks and select Show All Bookmarks and select Export Bookmarks from the Library window. Then use a Flashdrive and take to the other computer and drop it on the Target computer Desktop there. Go to Firefox bookmarks and select Show All Bookmarks on target computer and select Import Bookmarks html from the Library window. Your bookmarks are now on the target computer

  • How do I copy an email link and paste it into my email?

    Just got a hand-me-down MacBook Pro. I need to send an email to someone who's posted an ad on Craigslist. How do I, a) copy the link for their email; and, b) paste it into the address field of my Outlook mail?
    If I just click on the email link in CL, the computer wants to direct me to some default email client, which I'm not using. So I want to copy and paste the address.
    Thanks.

    Care to share which OS you are using?
    From the OS Help menu:
    Copy from one document to another
    Open both documents, select the text, picture, or movie you want to copy, and then drag it to the other document.
    If you can’t drag an item from a document window, select the item and choose Edit > Copy. Then click in the other document window and choose Edit > Paste.
