How do I move my Firefox bookmarks from one computer to another (automatically)?

If you want to transfer Firefox with bookmarks to another computer as quickly as possible, the Todo PCTrans tool will help you move applications with your personal data. Everything you've saved on Mozilla Firefox will remain the same as in the original browser.

• Moving Firefox bookmarks between computers on the same network
• Moving Firefox bookmarks between computers on different networks - Back up and restore

Here we'll use the "Computer-to-Computer" mode as an example:

1. Preparations for Data Transfer.

• Download and run the software on both computers. • Make sure both computers are on the same local network. • If the files you're transferring are larger than 2 GB, it's recommended that you activate it to the Pro version.

2. Move Firefox to another computer

Step 1: Choose a transfer mode.

Download and install Todo PCTrans on both computers. Launch Todo PCTrans on both machines, and on the source computer, click “PC to PC” and then “Start.”

Step 2: Choose the source and target computers.

• "New" means moving Firefox from an old computer to your current new one.   • "Old" means moving Firefox from your current old computer to a new one remotely.

Step 3: Connect the two computers to each other

Select the computer you want to connect to, and then enter that computer's account password or verification code. Check the verification code in the top-right corner of the “Computer-to-Computer” main screen on the target computer. Click Connect to continue.

Step 4. Select the Mozilla Firefox to transfer.

• Locate Mozilla Firefox in the Applications section and check the box next to it. • Click on Transfer to begin sending Firefox to the target computer.

5. Finish moving Mozilla Firefox to another computer.

• Wait for the transfer to complete, then click “OK” to finish.

Once done, restart Firefox on the other device. Your bookmarks should now appear in the browser. This is the easiest way to move the software directly, and users have a useful article on transferring Chrome bookmarks to another computer.
