How to transfer Mozilla Firefox cookies to a new PC?

Post by bluefugue »

Just wondering where the files are located and if there is anything special about how this is done... I assume you just copy-paste the appropriate folder/s?

Thanks.

I doubt this is the "offical" method, but all I did when I was doing a reformat/reinstall was to backup the Documents and Settings\{username}\Application Data\Mozilla folder. Obviously replace {username} with your user name. Also, the Application Data folder is flagged as hidden, so you'll want to show hidden files to see it (in the folder options control panel).

[edit]

You'll also get all your bookmarks and other stuff copied this way as well.
