Does SYNC copy over ALL my personal data (passwords, etc) from a Win-XP disk partition "A" to a Win7 disk partition "B" on the same SSD ?!?

I have the latest FF version installed on both partitions.

Depending on my work, I must alternate between booting up Win-XP on "A" OR ELSE booting up Win7 on "B"

HOW CAN I copy over my personal data from FF on "A" to FF on "B"  ?

HOW CAN I weekly UPDATE my personal data in FF on "A" = to my personal data in FF on "B"  ?

Thanks for any advice!


I already copied over my bookmarks, but not my pw's, etc.

Security Issue: Update your Flash Player Version 18.0.0.232
https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html Note: Windows users must download the “Internet Explorer” and “Plugin-based browsers” installers.

Note: Edge on Win10 does not use ActiveX version but its own Flash.

See if there are updates for your graphics drivers https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration

Password Exporter {web link} This extension allows you to export your saved passwords and disabled login hosts using XML or CSV files that can be imported later.

One last thing. In the event that the passwords information is lost, you should record all information in a separate text file somewhere else on your hard drive, or written down. You can easily copy and paste if you need to do so. If you are concerned about someone else looking at that file, you can compress it using a password.

Sync should work fine for you.
