firefox question

[E.J.]

I just got a new computer so need to copy files over. does anyone know the directory that Firefox copies bookmarks to?

At least under Windows, the details are explained at this link:

Under Mac OSX, the bookmarks are stored in these directories:

~/Library/Mozilla/

~/Library/Application Support/

I like Firefox, but I'm still a Safari guy, and occasionally fall back on Chrome as a 3rd choice. And I also think Firefox is the best choice for Windows, with IE8 (and soon IE9) as a second choice.

I very much doubt this is the case, as if it were you would've mentioned it, but just in case, under Linux the directory is ~/.mozilla

and includes all of your bookmarks, extensions, history, cookies, etc, so it's trivial to just copy it over for an indentical firefox from the old machine.

By far the easiest way to deal with firefox bookmarks etc is to use MozBackup. It's at: http://mozbackup.jasnapaka.com/

That's a sweet computer!

Checked the first directory and it had by bookmarks...from 2008. So I have something, just not a current list (it has to be somewhere)

Now I just have to get rid of all this crapware HP loaded on the computer......I hate this keyboard.....

Bloatware is a huge problem on these machines. You can do a Google search on where HP hides all the crap, or you can read this:

The last message goes into it in great detail.
