Upgrading, clean install, bookmarks etc.

Unread post by Octopuss » 2018-09-20, 16:58

I did a dirty upgrade by simply installing over v27, but I intend to do it cleanly soon.
I haven't done this for AGES, so could anyone tell me what file do I need to back up so I don't lose the bookmarks toolbar? Or is it the same file as all other bookmrks and history, the places.something?

If you want to perform a proper clean install, the best method is to export your bookmarks to a HTML file, and then import them back when you're done.
(Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import and Backup > Export/Import)

I'm new here but how can I change the font and text size in pale moon? I'm having great difficulty because the text and font size is much too large in many of the sites I need to access. Please and thank you in advance for any help anyone can give me the newbie.

Try Ctrl and the Plus or Minus signs.

Hm, I exported the bookmarks, but when I imported them into a new profile, the bookmarks toolbar remained in the default state.
Is that normal?
How do I backup/restore that?

Damn, copying sessionstore.js to new profile doesn't work either. What's wrong? :(
