Moving Thunderbird / Firefox profiles from Mint to MX Linux ... how?
by LinWinux from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6DRRH)
Greetings everyone,
I'm trying to get my wife to move from Mint to MX in order to simplify working on both of our computers. Does anyone know of a decent, easy to understand "how to tutorial" in order to get this accomplished?
No matter how I try moving her Thunderbird / Firefox infos. over to the other system, I always end up with the new default profile which then doesn't contain the information that she wishes to continue working with. On MX it's a no-brainer, been doing that for several years now, but with Mint there appears to be some compatibility issues with version differences. I'm thinking that that may be the problem but I'm not 100% certain. The Mozilla Firefox tutorial that I looked at was either outdated or just couldn't be made to work as described on their site (for Windows users?).
Moving everything else works fine, just TB and FF appear to be a real PITA.
I'm looking for a relatively current tutorial (if there is such a thing).
Thanks.
