First you need to export the bookmarks and password from Safari. This article will show you how, in the sections "Export a bookmarks file" and "Export a passwords file": Import bookmarks and passwords from other browsers in Safari on Mac - Apple Support.


In Firefox, you can import the files created above:

Another link to 'Mozilla Firefox for the Mac' has access to additional ideas:

Glad to see these alternative ideas still work. Another idea was to get/use

Sorry, I forgot that Safari does not open at all on your Mac. I'm afraid that there are no solutions until Apple releases a Safari update. In the meantime, you can still view your passwords in Keychain. When it comes to your bookmarks, there is no easy way: the only solution is to open the ~/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist file with a plist file editor, and even this is not very convenient.
