How to port my Firefox settings to a different computer?

I am going to get a new computer. How do I to port all my settings, bookmarks, add-ons, i.e. my Firefox environment to the new computer?

If it's a simple change of drive letter and everything is still in the same folder hierarchy the easiest way is to right click on the topmost folder in your Folders panel. From the menu choose Update Folder Location... and point to the folder on the O: drive. LR should bring everything back in line. If you have a few "top" folders then repeat that process for each.
UPDATED: Sorry. That answer works in Version 2.x. I'm not sure how you would do this in 1.4.1. Hopefully someone has that answer. I'll leave this here though in case someone has the same issue in 2.x

How do I migrate firefox settings from a 4.0 FF install on my old main drive, now connected as an external drive, to my new main hard drive's 4.0 FF installation?

My old computer's motherboard cooked, but the hard drive was undamaged. I removed it, and converted it to an external hard drive using cables, and now want to migrate the bookmarks, passwords, and settings to my new computer's main hard drive installation of Firefox.

See [[Managing Profiles]] which explains how to recover data from your profile on the old drive.

How do I install Firefox in English on a computer in Mexico?

''I have a Dell 2009 computer with 4 gigs of memory. I am running Windows 7 home ultimate. My home is in San Carlos Mexico. I had Firefox installed with the Windows 7 as my web browser. I uninstalled Windows 7 and went back to Windows XP service pack 3. After realizing my dumb error I had Windows 7 re-installed, but when I download Firefox it only installs in Spanish(which I don't speak). I have tried many times to reinstall it(I even have my IP address located in the United States via Hide-My-Ip aplication) but it still installs in Spanish.My question is: How can I install Firefox on my computer? Would a cd with Firefox on it work? Please advise as I really like Firefox much better than IE(which installed on my computer in English ok).Thank you for your prompt response. Charles Yoder

You can get the English version from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html

There is no such thing as Thunderbird email. You get your email from your email provider. Most providers have a webmail interface where can go there on the Internet with a browser. Use your provider's webmail interface when away from your own computer.

How do you put your iTunes on a different computer

My son has Austim and is non-verbal and one of the programs is how he talks I want to nake sure I do not mess that up. Thank you

Copy the songs onto an external hard drive or a USB flash drive. From their copy them to each new computer. Once they are there, add them to the library on each new computer. If the music contains any "protected" files from the iTunes Store, authorize each laptop to the account(s) from which the songs were originally purchased.

How do you backup an ipod on a different computer

How do you backup music on a different computer than what was used to sync the iPod.
When I Control-click on the iPod in iTunes under Devices I do not see Back Up but Transfer Purchases. When selected it did not transfer all music on the iPod. I'm trying to perform a Restore to troubleshoot the iPod (the controls wheel is not working).

How do I move all my Firefox settings to a new computer.

My old pc is not working but I have the hard drive and access to all my files. all I am trying to do is move all my settings for Firefox...bookmarks, passwords and settings, to my new machine. I cannot do the sync, I cannot do a backup and restore as my old machine is not working....just want to move the appropriate files. I have moved my old profile to my new desktop. Running Windows 7 on old and new. Thanks!

Thanks but I have read that page. That page gives specfics about certain files to copy... When I installed Firefox on my new machine, it actually had one option to import settings from IE. But not firefox? My problem is not unique as I purchased a new computer, and am simply trying to migrate all the info to the new one. I know from the questions on this support site that this happens every day.... the page you referenced has things like:
"Create a new Firefox profile
For information on how to create a brand new Firefox profile, please read the Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles article, paying specific attention to the Creating a profile section. "
If I was trying to create a "brand new profile" that would be helpful...but my issue is to move everything to the new pc. (the old pc no longer works so I cannot do a back up and restore...or a sync) The page you reference gives specifics on about 15 different things...do I need to do each one? for example...do I need to "create a new profile"?
Thanks for any help....this is really frustrating...I moved Thunderbird over and all the settings in about 10 minutes...just can't seem to find the solution here for Firefox.
