Its easy to transfer your Firefoz data from XP to vista or windows 7
- Install Firefox on Vista, launch it once, then close it. Make sure Firefox on XP is closed also
- XP: Back up C:\Documents and Settings\
\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles. It should contain only one folder, which has a garbage name. - Vista Navigate to C:\Users\
\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles and then enter the only folder in there, which should have a name similar to the one inside Profiles that you backed up earlier. - Go into the weird folder inside your backup, hit ctrl+A (select all), then ctrl+C (copy)
- Go inside the weird folder on Vista and paste (ctrl+V) all the stuff over the top. As you can see we are just migrating the contents of the weird folders from the backup to the new installation.
- On Vista, go up 4 levels until you get to C:\Users\
\AppData. Now go in to the “Roaming” folder, then Mozilla, Firefox, Profiles to get to C:\Users\ \AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles. - Perform the same operation to copy the contents of the weird folder in your backup into the weird folder on Vista
