So when swapping out a users computer, if you don’t have folder redirection setup you’ll need to manually move their bookmarks and all over to their new compy. this is easy with IE, but with Firefox its a little different. Everything you’ve configed in Firefox is located in one directory that you can just copy paste to the new computer. That magical directory is:
%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\
If you want to move Everything just copy the contents of the profile folder in that directory to the same directory on the new computer. if you want to pick and choose these are the files of interest:
places.sqlite – Bookmarks and history
key3.db – Key database for your saved passwords (if you move your passwords, you gotta move this file too)
signons.sqlite – Saved passwords
cookies.sqlite – All your cookies
All these files can be moved while firefox is running using \\computername\c$ style admin shares! Enjoy!
