Hello,

I have Firefox 3.6.8 in Linux.

I have a fresh install of Windows 7 on another PC. I am going to install Firefox onto that machine. But would like the data from the profile stored on my Linux machine. Especially the stored passwords.

Can I "copy" the Firefox 3.6.8 profile from the Linux machine and "paste" it into my Windows 7 machine?

Thank you.

You can copy some of the files from the Linux profile to the Windows profile. For details of the files to copy, see the "Suggested profile contents to transfer" section of Transferring data to a new profile - Firefox - MozillaZine Knowledge Base

As you will be using a different OS, do not copy mimeTypes.rdf
