I am upgrading to vista and want to know how to save all my passes and usernames from sites?So I don't have to re enter all that stuff again. Also for some reason I cant get firefox to export my favorites to desktop! So I can save them. I use to be able to but it's not working when I click export. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

maybe you could write down all the urls, usernames, passwords and such and save it until after you install windows vista

copy the firefox profile folder, and when you install vista put it back

the vista location is X:\Users\'name'\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
not sure about the xp location,
but if you do that, your firefox will be exactly like it was :)

Personally... I keep all of my logins in a password protected txt document. That's just my personal preference though. God help me if I forget the password to my password document though :blink:
