The Laptop has Ubuntu and my new PC has Win7 if that helps. :)

I'm assuming you want to move you bookmarks in Firefox. If not ignore the rest of the post and tell us exactly what you want to do.

But If I have guessed correctly Open firefox on your old PC select "Bookmarks" > "Show All Bookmarks" from the menu.

In the window that opens select "Import and Backup" and save to a USB stick. Next

Open firefox on your old PC select "Bookmarks" > "Show All Bookmarks" from the menu.
In the window that opens select "Import and Backup" and implort from USB stick.

Thanks Warren, but I assumed (perhaps wrongly), that by using the SCYN option, I was saving my bookmarks, documents, etc, so that I could sync them directly to a new device.

Can you help with this problem?
