Thanks Ted. I wonder why it happened? I got my email all migrated but my FF bookmarks, history, passwords are proving to be much more difficult. I have copied over my profile to no avail. I'm now going to copy my entire ~/.mozilla folder which is huge and will take much time. Hopefully though it will work. Other migrations only ever required my FF profile.
In case you haven't already done it: you should be able to backup or export your bookmarks from the Show All Bookmarks window, then restore/import them in the new Firefox. That saves you from having to move places.sqlite which at least in my firefox profile is the lion's share of the profile's disk space. (It used to be the cache directory, which I don't see any more, so maybe that got sucked into places.sqlite too.) You still might want to copy the rest of the Firefox folder to save your preferences, extensions and so on, but they'll be small compared to places.sqlite. ...Akkana
