    I am going to be buying a new computer soon and in anticipation I don't want to have to restore all my preferences, addon, bookmarks in FF, as well as my address book and account setups in TB. What do I have to backup to make this painless.

    I presently backup daily the entire directory's of:
    Document and settings\User name\application data\Mozilla\, as well as
    Document and settings\User name\application data\Thunderbird.

    After reinstalling will I just be able to copy these 2 directories over to the new install and be good to go, or an I being naive.
    Can someone please advise me.
    Thank you very much.

    I use XP pro SP3
    Firefox 3.5.3
    Thunderbird 2.0.0.23

    And, without having to rely on an addon, refer to this section
