Hi there
Thank you very much for the tip I’ve been looking for the last couple of weeks.
Could you just tell me where exactly and how to find this location (home directory » Library » Application Support » Firefox » Profiles » GIBBERISHSTRING.default).
Thanks again,
Hope someone will read and help me.
Cheers
vince

Hi,

you just saved me from a LOT of hassle with this advice. I’ve carried the same Firefox over 5 PC laptops in past few years with Mozbackup and was really worried about the migration to my new Mac. Thanks a million, I owe you one, it works like a charm

Have a great day!

It worked! Thank you very much.
Had just some problems because stuffit didn’t overwrite the originals but unzipping and overwriting in two steps worked!

Ah, that makes much more sense. Artemisia - here's an article with detailed instructions on moving Thunderbird data from PC to your Mac. Also, there's a great thread on the Mozillazine forums about migration.
