Export bookmarks/history/passwords from corrupted profile
My profile seems to be corrupted. Starting Firefox with that profile completely crashes the computer, but when I reinstalled Firefox and it started with another profile it was fine. Switching back to my profile immediately crashed the computer. Is there a way to extract the history/bookmarks/passwords/etc. from my profile folder without starting Firefox? Thanks in advance!
This if Firefox 131.0 on MacOS 10.15.7 (Catalina).

You can copy certain files with Firefox closed from one profile folder to another/current profile folder to transfer personal data. Note that best is to avoid restoring a full profile folder and only restore important files that are safe to restore/transfer.
Primary location used for the main profile that keeps your personal data (Root Directory on about:profiles).
