    I would like to transfer my Firefox (2) profile from one computer to new one and to Firefox 3.
    Is there some simple way how to do that? I have tried few tutorials but unsucsessfully.

    1) Install Firefox 2 on new PC
    2) Locate profile folder on old PC and new PC (usually C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox)
    3) On old PC, open profile.ini and note which profile is the default i.e. the one you want to copy. Copy entire profile folder (name should be of the form mvl4i2p3.default or similar).
    4) On new PC, with Firefox 2 closed, paste copied folder into profile folder and edit profiles.ini to make this profile the default. Make sure StartWithLastProfile=0
    5) Open Firefox 2 on new PC and confirm that your settings are there i.e. it's picking up the correct profie.
    6) Upgrade Firefox 2 to Firefox 3 on new PC.

    That should do the trick
