I am getting a new PC and I want to transfer the list long list of favourites and the stored user names and passwords held in my current one.

It would be too frustrating to describe if I will lose them.

You need to copy a few files from your old computer's Firefox Profile to your new computer's Firefox Profile after installing Firefox on the new computer. Do not copy the entire Profile folder. The files that you need to copy are:

  • for Bookmarks: places.sqlite
  • for Passwords: key3.db and signons.sqlite

For more information about your Firefox Profile, see:
