Transferring Firefox cookies

[Ian Bruntlett]

Hi,

I have a friend who is getting a Tower PC running Ubuntu, from the Computer
Wombling Project.

He has various accounts online and can't find the appropriate user name and
password information.

One solution is to just stick with the old computer.

Another solution, which I don't know is possible or not, is to copy
cookies.sqlite and places.sqlite from the old computer to the newer
computer.

Has anyone done this successfully? As you can imagine, I am proceeding with
caution.

TIA,


Ian
