Hi, i have two profiles from my old pc and i want to merge them with my current profile on laptop. can i copy the contents and paste it inside my current profile or it will effect or replace something ? (sure i don`t want to lose anything). because using 3 separate profiles and switch between them is really annoying and not useful at all.

You can consider to use Sync if you want to merge personal data from several profiles. That is probably the only way to merge history.

Bookmarks can be merged via an HTML backup.

For passwords there is the Password Exporter extension as an alternative.

About the only thing that can be "merged" smoothly is bookmarks which are exported in the bookmarks.html format.

As far as a Passwords "merge", you could try using this extension to export to a CSV or XML file and then use that same extension to import the file that you exported into the other Profile. I have never tried that - just a SWAG.

Other files in the Profile folder might be able to be "merged", but we would need specifics as to which files or types of data you're concerned with.
