How do I transfer all my Firefox from this Dell XP computer to a new Dell Windows 7, and do I need to download Firefox to th ws 7
I want to transfer all my bookmarks, favorites and email addresses from my Dell XP to my new Dell Windows 7. I do not know how to set up a back-up file. I am 65 yrs old, pretty much a computer illiterate and will need step by step instructions emailed to me; if anyone would be so kind. Thank you.

hello Lawrence1559, firefox does save all your bookmarks, settings and customizations into the so called profile folder .
you can copy the whole profile folder on your win xp computer like this:
- press the windows-key+R and open: %appdata%\
- a windows explorer windows will open up with a folder named Mozilla in it - right-click and copy that folder and paste it onto a usb drive or any other way you can transfer it to your new computer.
- on the windows 7 pc, repeat the windows-key+R shortcut and open: %appdata%\ again.
- copy the Mozilla folder from your backup into the %appdata% folder of your new pc.
- you can now download and install firefox from getfirefox.com and should have the exact same setup as on your prior pc afterwards.
