My esteemed listmates,
For days I've been grappling with this task.
I have exported my Firefix bookmarks and passwords to a flash drive from my
old (dying) laptop to my newere refurbished laptop.
The replacement files (logins.json and key4.db) were in my old profile
folder:
My new FF profile folder is
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
I copied logins.json and key4.db into there but when I open FF on the new
laptop to Menu > Bookmarks > Import > Restore ....nothing happens. It just
sits there.
I've posted this on a Mozilla support forum and each poster suggest
something different or leaves out steps and they have no step - by step to
accomplish this task.
If you have actually accomplished this task (not read a Knowledge base) but
done it yourself would you please share those steps?
I also wanted to move my old passwords to my nee laptop but the posters
shard that's complicated. Not exactly a helpful reply.
I exported the passwords as a .cvs file.
For the future do you use Clonezilla or some backup software so you press
Backup and it saves your hard drive on to a flash or external hard drive
and then on your new PC you press Install?
I'd like something I can easily use to get everything on to the new
laptop and not have to spend days "recovering" from a dying laptop.
Thank you so much.
Charles.
