Moving Ff Profile from Win 7 to Win 11

Post by brucepascal »

I upgraded my Notebook from Win 7 to Win 11, and installed the latest Ff ESR.
Is it possible to transfer the Win 7 profile to the Win 11 installation?
If not, are there parts of the profile like bookmarks or extensions, that can be transferred?
And if yes, how?

Thank you

Thank you. I have transferred my profile many times, after I did a clean install of Win 7 using a Macrium clone.
My question is: Where is the Ff profile in Win 11, and what is known about transferring an old profile, or parts there of from a Win 7 profile... ?

See the information in this article regarding Win 10, as the profile should be located in the comparable folder in Win 11 -- http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Thunderbird
