I've read the queries regarding moving bookmarks, history, etc, to the new PC using SYNC. Am I correct in presuming that I need to 1)..install Firefox on the new PC, 2)..run SYNC on the old PC and then 3)..run SYNC on the new PC?

Alternatively..would using a tool such as LapLink PCMover do the same for me?

And since we have multiple user accounts on both the old PC (windows XP) and the new (Windows 7) will each user need to be synced individually or will one cycle put our separate bookmarks where they belong?

bjnorthcarolina, no need to use tools like LapLink PCMover. You just install firefox on the new PC and do Sync. Also you can export import bookmarks.

Sync is a useful technology, but I wouldn't rely just on that.

I suggest making at least a complete copy of all current Firefox profile folders. These are located here (this is a path you can paste into Start > Run):

%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles

Note that if you have multiple Windows accounts, you will want to do this for each user (the %APPDATA% shortcut is always for the currently logged in user).

Later, you can refer to these articles for recovering their contents:

(You may find a similarly named set of folders under Local Settings. That's the cache, nothing important there.)

Many thanks to both of you. SYNC worked just fine...mover everything we wanted.
