Getting a new computer running windows 7. How do I get all my bookmarks and Add-ons, etc, etc, to my new computer?

Old computer is running XP with Firefox 4. New computer will run Windows 7 with Firefox 4.

Thanks, Paul

The user data is stored in the profile folder. You can copy the data manually by copying the contents of the profile folder, for details see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_backup or https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Backing+up+your+information

There are some add-ons and utilities that can make this process easier. The first one is the FEBE add-on (http://softwarebychuck.com/febe/febe70.html - The Firefox 4 version is currently in beta) which can be used to copy a profile. Another option is the free MozBackup utility (http://mozbackup.jasnapaka.com)

Read thru your post and will try the mozbackup program. I should receive my computer in the coming week and will try it then. Firefox 4 is not in beta. I assume that the backup will go to CD which I can move to the new computer. I will keep this post open and when I receive my new computer and move the file I will let you and everyone know how it went. Thanks, Paul

I meant that the FEBE add-on is currently in beta, not Firefox 4.
