Transfer Firefox settings from Windows To Linux

Postby locohacker » Tue Jan 08, 2008 2:27 pm


Since i gonna be trying Linux soon i wanted to share this info I found on how to transfer firefox settings bookmarks ect.. from windows to linux :)

1. start Firefox, the close it. This will create a new directory .mozilla/firefox
2. copy all files from c:\documents and settings\your_user_name\Application
Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ to .mozilla/firefox
3. run this command: Firefox -ProfileManager, then crate a new profile, with the directory
name of the newly copied one
4. start Firefox, with the profile as default, then you have everything migrated
5. One thing noticed, some plug-in may not working on 2.0, so uninstall them if required.
