File locations for transferring

[doug]

Have just treated one of my daughters to a new PC and have been loading most of the applications on it that I think she uses. Will be doing some searching but thought I'd be my usual lazy self and ask a few questions on here. These relate to Mozilla. where does Thunderbird store e-mails and where does Firefox store it's bookmarks so I can copy them over to her new PC. I've also treated eldest G'daughter to a HD USB caddy and installed a spare 80 GB HD into it as a Christmas present. I'm proposing to use this for the file copying - should be a bit quicker than using my 1 GB USB pen. Then when done the new USB HD can go back into it's box to go into the "Secret Box" where No.1 G'son thinks we store all presents. So any advice and help folks be grateful.

Just thought

I aught to add that I will be transferring from an XP based PC to a Win 7 x64 based PC

Don't use Firefox but Thunderbird e-mails are here.

C:\Documents and Settings\[windowsuser]\Application

Data\Thunderbird\Profiles\r7q3hpvc.default\Mail\[mailaccount]

doug,

Do it the easy way with Mozbackup (freeware)

Mozbackup will backup and restore Mozilla, Thunderbird, and Firefox profiles, including email, bookmarks, history, saved passwords, address books, and other details. It will also back-up and restore installed extensions for both Firefox and Thunderbird.
