I have just bought a new PC running Windows 7. I have everything up and running apart from my Firefox Profile containing a multitude of bookmarks and saved passwords.

Any way of getting this information synched with Firefox 3.6.12?

Am also confused with Local or Roaming?

Many thanks in advance.

Have you copied your saved profile and then put it in C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\

Then go to a command prompt (start run cmd) and enter this
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -profilemanager
sorted hopefully
Roaming is the normal place for saving stuff (if you may log into a server) long explanation from microsoft here
It's a word doc long and boring like my explanation

Go for Google Chrome!

I'll second that - when you switch to Chrome it immediately seems faster than FF (-which used to seem faster than IE! how times change)

I had firefox for around 12 months after reading about it on here. (XP)

Worked fine until 3 months ago. Uninstalled & reinstalled twice & updated to newer version. Nothing cured it.

Dumped it & use chrome now.

Creating a new firefox profile, should have cured it (Reinstalling doesnt work)

Deleting the sqllite.places file works for a while. I use firefox on Mac and it is horrendous. On Windows 7 it is fine.

Before anybody follows your advice, it will delete your browsing history AND YOUR BOOKMARKS. Why not just deleting the browsing history when closing FF? There is a setting for this.
