I can't believe this has not been asked before, but how can I export my FireFox settings, bookmarks, list of add-ons from one computer to another??? Both computers use XP Home SP3 and FF 3.6. Surely there is a mozilla or FF tutorial on how to do this!!?? Where is it??

You can try transferring the entire contents of your Profile folder into the Profile on the other PC, but that might cause problems - although that is lessened greatly being that you're using WinXP SP3 and Firefox 3.6 on both PC's. Note, the name of the Profile folder on both PC's must remain the same as they currently are, otherwise Firefox won't "see" the Profile and will automatically create a new Profile. You need to transfer the contents of the Profile folder, not the folder itself (unless you re-name it exactly).
