<p>I can give that a try. I know about the bookmarks backup and will
use it if need be. I guess I can export them to a flash drive and
then import them to m FF on my new laptop. This doesn't help for
history or passwords though. That's why I used to just copy my
profile over and all of those would be present. Now I get a new
profile generated and in the <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="about:profiles">"about:profiles"</a> window I don't have
and option for that profile even though it's sitting there in
~/.mozilla with the other 4 profiles that have been created!</p>
<p>Thanks</p>

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap=""> Thanks Ted. I wonder why it happened? I got my email all migrated but
my FF bookmarks, history, passwords are proving to be much more
difficult. I have copied over my profile to no avail. I'm now going to
copy my entire ~/.mozilla folder which is huge and will take much time.
Hopefully though it will work. Other migrations only ever required my
FF profile.

In case you haven't already done it: you should be able to backup or
export your bookmarks from the Show All Bookmarks window, then
restore/import them in the new Firefox. That saves you from having
to move places.sqlite which at least in my firefox profile is the
lion's share of the profile's disk space. (It used to be the cache
directory, which I don't see any more, so maybe that got sucked into
places.sqlite too.) You still might want to copy the rest of the
Firefox folder to save your preferences, extensions and so on, but
they'll be small compared to places.sqlite.
