My PC crashed and I'm getting a new one. The profiles for Firefox and T-bird that I have saved on a portable drive are from the release of last week before the new update. Will I be able to transfer these profiles to my new system? BTW - I'm going from a profile on a Win XP 32 machine to one with Win 7 64. I hope I can do this, the old box died before I could back up the profile from the new release.

See the instructions on restoring your profile backup in this article: Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles.

Yes, they should work. If you need help transferring the profile, just ask.
