I am migrating from my old XP PC to a new Windows 7 PC running Firefox 4.0.1.

I have managed (I think) to copy my cookies, passwords & permissions (i.e. cookies.sqlite, key3.db, etc) via an external HDD to the new PC and copied them into the Firefox profile on the new PC.

However when I launch a cookie dependent site,the cookie data does not appear.

How can I copy the data in successfully?

Many thanks

Easiest I've found and used is MozBackup: http://mozbackup.jasnapaka.com/download.php

Download it, make a backup of your 4.0.1 then email the resulting .pcv file to yourself and save it to an easy to find spot, usually the desktop. Install MozBackup on the new computer, restore using the .pcv file you emailed to yourself.
