Hello!
how do I backup/export in a file to be able to import to another installation the passwords and the history?
Is this guide accurate?
https://support.mozilla.org/t5/Install- ... ng-history
Do I just move the specific files I want to backup?
what if the files are corrupted? Will they corrupt my new firefox?

Re: How to back up
I copied my bookmarks as described in that article but they do not show up in my FF!
Also, apparently sync didn't work
any idea?

Re: How to back up
What file(s) did you copy and to where did you copy them?
