An alternative option is the Mozilla add-on FEBE (Firefox Environment Backup Extension), which also works with Pale Moon. It just needs to be installed on both FF and PM. It's more for backups than for transfers, but since FF and PM are so similar, once your FF profile is backed up, you can "restore" it to Pale Moon.

At least this method has worked for me :) but the migration app would probably be a lot simpler ;)

Also consider backing up your history and passwords with Xmarks and Lastpass :thumbup:

Be careful with Xmarks - you are better off using the built-in Firefox sync in pale Moon if you want to use something like that.
