My computer is set up with Windows 2000, Firefox 8.0.1, and Thunderbird for my email. I just got a new PC which has Windows XP and need to transfer my profile, addons, etc for FF & TB can anyone help?
I have copied all my folders from C:\Documents & Settings \(my main file) which includes all properties from my desktop, My documents, Application data, Desktop, Start menu etc. and copied to disks which I then downloaded on my new computer. However, when I open FF, not of my bookmarks, addons, history, etc are there and when I open TB, none of my folders, emails, addons etc are applied and it's asking me to create an acct. Don't know what to do, this is all new to me. thanks for any help!!
