| [FireFox] Is there a quick way to do this?
I created a new Windows XP user identity for one of my kids. When I launched FF it opened with no extensions and all the default options as if it were a clean FF install running for the first time. I assume that means it's switching to a new blank profile. Importing my kid's IE Favorites was easy, but what's the best way to transfer all my settings, extensions, plugins, etc. over to the new user's profile?
Basically I want FF set up the exact same way as I have it in my identity but with different bookmarks for my kid. We're talking abut the same instance of FF on the same computer but started from another user's desktop. Hope that makes sense. |

| You could copy everything over from your profile with exception of:
bookmarks.html
cookies.txt
history.dat
xpti.dat
That should do it.
