[gentoo-user] [big OT] Export firefox profile

Is there a way to export a whole profile (including bookmarks, saved 
passwords, extensions, themes) in Mozilla Firefox?

I want to export my Firefox profile to two machines: windowsXP and another 
gentoo.
Can I just copy the whole profile over?

Try the "Bookmarks Synchronizer" firefox plugin.  Works for me... :-)

HTH,

Don't know where WindowsXP's firefox profiles are, but for Gentoo 
they are:

  passwords   - $HOME/.mozilla/firefox/<profileDir>/key3.db
  cookies     - $HOME/.mozilla/firefox/<profileDir>/cookies.txt
  popup perms - $HOME/.mozilla/firefox/<profileDir>/cookperm.txt
  bookmarks   - $HOME/.mozilla/firefox/<profileDir>/bookmarks.html

You could use rsync in a cron job (something like this)
/usr/bin/rsync -av -e \
 ssh /home/peter/.mozilla/firefox/<profileDir>/cookperm.txt \
 <remote>:/home/peter/.mozilla/firefox/<profileDir>/

Hi Karol,

dunno how to deal with XP. Regarding to the Linux machine ... simply
take the whole ~/.mozilla folder and copy it over to the second machine,
set the right permissions for the user there and all should work.

Frank
