| 715233 | 2008-10-27 22:48:00 | I am in the process of setting up a new computer to take over from the trusty old box I have lived with for the past 7 years. Is their any simple way to transfer all the cookies and website passwords held in Firefox on the old machine to the new? I assume that Bookmarks will be just a simple cut and paste - If not advice on that would be appreciated. |

| 715235 | 2008-10-27 23:54:00 | Assuming that both versions of firefox are the same... Goto: C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR_USER_NAME\Local Settings\Application Data Copy the Mozilla Folder there. (Don't cut n paste just in case) Paste the Mozilla folder to the App Data folder of the new computer. If you then run firefox on the new computer, it should be all fine n dandy. |

| 715237 | 2008-10-28 05:22:00 | Or the password exporter addon | gary67 (56) | ||
| 715238 | 2008-10-28 05:39:00 | I would go with kjaada's idea-foxmarks syncs passwords now, too and it'll do the job just fine. | Blam (54) | ||

| 715241 | 2008-10-28 10:07:00 | Entire profiles as well, search bar engines and more, check out his other add-ons, they are v. good. Look at OPIE, it is a preferences backup utility. Use the quick back up it is much faster. |

| 715242 | 2008-10-28 19:02:00 | Use MozBackup I have found it is very easy to use and you can choose what settings you want to transfer. http://mozbackup.jasnapaka.com/ |
