LightChaster,
Have you ever tried to just let it install? Or does it ask for the location of a CD? Did Roxio come with your machine?

To transfer bookmarks, open your old Firefox profile, goto Bookmarks→Organise→Export
This exports you bookmarks to an html file.

Now open up Firefox with your new profile and pick Bookmarks→Organise→Import. Find the bookmarks.html file you exported earlier and choose it =)

I have used the febe extension to backup my entire profile.

then install febe extension in the new "blank" firefox, and recreate everything.

it works

kko, I just looked at febe and it seems it copies the contents of your profile and reconstructs xpi's from GUID's..

I don't really see the point of it unless you have an extension conflict.

Best way is still copying the important parts of your profile and pasting them manually in your new profile IMO.

I use febe to back up my torrents as well.

I was trying to post a link onto a forum that uses bbcode ... and the link had an * in it - it was a google search link with a wildcard ... well the bbcode seemed to break the link at the point of the asterisk ... so Im thinking I need to know the %## code for an asterisk to make such a link work ...

so I have two questions:
1: what am I talking about?
and
2: where do I find what Im talking about?

ok, Im kidding ... my real questions are 1: what is that called when a %somethingsomething is used instead of an alpha character, and 2: does anyone have a list handy or can tell me about why the bbcode asterisk didnt work?

for instance, it works fine here ... well, SU converts it I see

google.com/search [google.com/search]*%20world%22

... but its at the asterisk that bbcode forum broke it

http://www.google.com/search?q=%22what%20*%20world%22

and so the link just went to google search for the first word only - in this case "what" ...

so Im thinking I need to put in a %_?_ between the what%20 and the %20world to account for the asterisk wildcard ... is that right?

thanks for whatever help ...

oh, see - SU breaks the converted link too - at the asterisk ... I cant get it to link to a wildcard search using the asterisk ... hmm - thats interesting ...

when I used Thlaylis "preview post" the link did work, then when I submitted my post, it didnt ...

let me try this

yes that works fine - I couldnt get the bbcode forum to do even that for me ...

anyway thanks again for any suggestions ...
