Hello,

The easiest way might be to use Firefox Sync to sync your data to your new computer. Or you could manually back up your Firefox profile and copy it to the new computer. If you need help with this, don't hesitate to ask.

Password Exporter {web link} This extension allows you to export your saved passwords and disabled login hosts using XML or CSV files that can be imported later.


In the event that the passwords information is lost, you should record all information in a separate text file somewhere else on your hard drive, or written down. You can easily copy and paste if you need to do so. If you are concerned about someone else looking at that file, you can compress it using a password.
