To access your user library folder, click finder. Looking for top menu 'Go '. Hold down the option key until the library folder appears on the list.  Open this folder. Find the folder in Safari.

  • How can I transfer Firefox bookmarks on computers with a DVD?

    I have just built a new computer and I do not know how to transfer all my favorite Firefox from my old computer to my new. The old computer works, but the only way I have to connect the two is through a CD, DVD or external hard drive. Therefore, to transfer my favorites, I need to know if there is a convenient way to copy them to the removable storage that I can then use to reinstall on Firefox on my new computer. I think that this procedure is so common that there is probably a medium setting to do so. Thank you for your attention.
