I have Linux Mint 12 and 13 on the computer. Firefox on the first Linux Mint 12) is up-to-date, complete with add-ons and bookmarks etc., but when I go to the second (Linux Mint 13), there are no bookmarks or add-ons. Why are they not the same?

I am sorry if I have not understood, but I don't know what screenshot should be sent. The initial page of Firefox is the same in both of the distros, and it is only when clicking on bookmarks in the menu bar that I discover that one has my saved bookmarks and the other does not.

Thanks for your help.
