Finally got a new computer (old was a Pentium3/Win98SE, using Firefox2) Is there any reasonable method, 100 steps or less, to transfer my previous profiles to the newer machine (using an i5 and Win7) ? I am still working out how to run under Win7, which is compounding my distress! Thanks..

Hello i am very sorry I can't help as we dont support 2. serious

you could try backing up your profile

https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing%20up%20your%20information?s=profile+manager&r=1&as=s#w_backing-up-your-profile

then you will have to restore it on the new version
