Setting up FF on a new PC.
If the only things I want from my current profile are:
Addon extensions (options are already set the way I want them)
Bookmarks
What directories/file(s) from the profile do I copy into the FF new profile.
Any others that I need to copy and still have basically a clean profile?

For details see here:

Many options for extensions are in prefs.js . folders extension-data and extensions should copy your extensions.
Bookmarks are in places.sqlite and favicons.sqlite .
However, some other data for extensions are other places - see here: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic ... &t=3034189

Re: Selective profile xfer
As extensions and the config settings changes they make are usually the source of profile problems, migrating them to a new computer will automatically ensure you don't have a "clean profile."
