How to import bookmarks from the laptop to the desktop using Firefox 38.0 on both devices?
I am currently using Firefox on my desktop or portable 38.0 and need to import my favorites of the laptop on my desk which also has Firefox 38.0. Please provide details on how to perform this procedure.
Thank you

Pretty simple and easy, not only are there alternative methods, as is often the case in computing, but different methods produce different results.
Aid articles have more complete explanations with step by step instructions and screenshots.
You have the choice of four methods depending on what you're trying to reach. Ask you what set of bookmarks is the largest and most complex?
Import and export of the a.)
This adds bookmarks. It spikes on the existing ones. (For example, if the laptop: unsorted, folder of bookmarks and bookmarks are now additional folders in the existing desktop bookmarks menu.)
Useful to simply do what you asked: export the Favorites of the laptop and import those on the desktop.
However, if the office is new and has only a few bookmarks on it, but the laptop has the major then consider
- Export of the desktop as a HTML file.
- Backup of the laptop to create a .json file
- Restore the .json laptop on the desktop file.
- Follow-up to import HTML file
- Office has now all the bookmarks of the laptop, as well as his own originals
See
- Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file for backup or transfer bookmarks
- Importing bookmarks from an HTML file
(B) backup and restore
This procedure by report written all existing bookmarks. He retained the structure of folders and bookmark labels. Ideal if bookmarks of laptop are the only ones that you care. Or combine the two methods, as suggested above.
(C.) manually replace the bookmarks and the historical database.
Not what you asked but that also gets the history information.
This is useful if you often rely on the addessbar acting as the awesomebar
- Backup and restore Firefox profiles information
- Awesome Bar - Find your Firefox bookmarks, history, tabs in the address bar
(D.) sync
An alternative is to use Firefox Sync. Who should ensure that the laptop and the Office have the same bookmarks.
However if you do this save your bookmarks manually before the first sync bookmarks. I highly recommend that if synchronize you bookmarks you make regular manual backups too, because Sync itself can sometimes corrupt and duplicates of bookmarks. (If you do not notice this corruption quickly you can't have automated bookmarks that are free of corruption.)

Are you sure you're looking in the right folder, you are possible to search in the installation of Firefox rather than the profile folder folder. The following link provides details on the location of the profile folder - http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox

How to remove photos from the desktop while maintaining in the Photoshop Elements Organizer? My office is now crowded with the photos that I can't recycle because they then 'not found." The image, but not the data is always in the Organizer, but I imagine that it would disappear once I have stop and restart my laptop. I want to clear my desktop, but keep the photos!

OK, that's a lot of sense. But I still don't know what I have to do them down the office without losing them.
If you move from your Explorer or finder in a given folder, you will not lose them and they will disappear from your desktop.
If you want to use the Organizer to keep track of your photos in the catalog, use the Organizer, not the Explorer / finder to move them to another folder on the desktop.
