How do I import Firefox user settings from old computer to new computer without using sync function?
the motherboard on my old Mac G4 powerbook died but i have access to its hard drive contents, including the files located in Application Support>Firefox. I want to import these profile settings into my new Firefox on my new iMac 2011. Which files do I move over so that my new Firefox has the settings/bookmarks/add-ons as my old Firefox?

Install FEBE from Add Ons in FF on old computer. Back up entire profile. Also install FEBE in FF on new computer. Copy FEBE backup folder to new computer. "Restore" from FEBE. All of your settings, including cookies, passwords, etc. will be "restored." Note that on the new computer, you'll need to create two profiles: the default one you'll use on a regular basis and one to use for the restore.
The logic board on my old mac is fried so i can't operate my old mac to install FEBE. I only have access to my old mac's hard drive via target disk mode. While in target disk mode I have access to my old mac's Application Support folder>Firefox folder. In this Firefox folder exists a Profiles folder and a profiles.ini document.
