How will Firefox remember me after I upgrade to Windows 7 from Vista?
I plan to have someone do a clean install of windows7 on my HP laptop (that currently is running vista home premium) from the windows 7 disks provided by HP. Will my bookmarks be remembered when I reload Firefox?

All of your personal information for Firefox (bookmarks, passwords, etc.) are stored on your hard drive.
You need to make a backup of your entire Profile folder or of certain items in your Profile folder before installing Windows 7.
- Put the backup(s) in a safe place on another hard drive, on a CD, or on a USB/pin/thumb/jump drive until after Windows 7 is installed and Firefox is re-installed.
- Then you can copy selected files into your new Profile folder under your Windows 7 installation of Firefox.

- See --> Profile folder -Firefox (this article has a comprehensive list of files and folders in your Profile)

Keep in mind that you will need to re-install, on your new Windows 7 installation, all of the Extensions (including toolbars that you may have installed), Plugins and Themes that you have installed in Firefox.
