Just installed a new HDD in my macbook and transferred all my apps and setting successfully except for my firefox settings. The original drive is connected via usb (using it to write this), and I've written down all my passwords, but am clueless as to how I migrate all my bookmarks. Help anyone?
Thanks in advance.

I presume the Mac version of Firefox is close enough to Linux/Windows versions for those instructions.
