Is the add-on available anywhere else? (for instance a web search leads to http://download.cnet.com/Clipta-Toolbar-with-Downloader/3000-11745_4-10878971.html )

Normally add-ons are not moved manually, if you do try it at least make sure you set up a new additional profile for firefox 3.6, and check that it works, that way you will be able to modify only the new profile. It would be much easier if you could find another copy of the installation file for that add-on. (did you keep that on the old computer)

Are both the computers being used Windows 7 computers ?

(I am using XP and would not be certain of paths Windows 7 uses)
