Hi,
New to PM, just running for test the PM atom/xp 25.5.0 portable, and it is nice and fast!
If I install this on winXP32sp3 and want to migrate from FF21 to PM,
# which version should I use?
# how do I get all/as much as poss my profile info (bmrks, hist, pwds, addons, settings, etc) over?
# what will work/what will not?
# can I install into the FF21 folder and it will recognize/upgrade?
# as I could not find answers easily for the above, is there a FAQ/URL for all of that?
# is there somewhere an old version of the 'PM profile migration tool' which would be good to use for FF21->PM migration?
# any other tips very welcome!
Also, is the PM commander able to handle some for FF (e.g. making newer protocols work there)?
Thx!

If you're coming from Firefox 21, then you should be able to just copy your entire profile folder contents acrossplmnsr wrote:how do I get all/as much as poss my profile info (bmrks, hist, pwds, addons, settings, etc) over?
Coming from Firefox 21, pretty much everything you have should work.plmnsr wrote:what will work/what will not?
No. Pale Moon uses its own profile folder and has different application components. You should not install it into the firefox location.plmnsr wrote:can I install into the FF21 folder and it will recognize/upgrade?

To copy profile files, please see: How do I copy my existing Firefox profile to Pale Moon?
Not publicly available, no, because people would try to use it despite warnings and blame us for broken profiles as a result.plmnsr wrote:is there somewhere an old version of the 'PM profile migration tool' which would be good to use for FF21->PM migration?
Pale Moon Commander can't magically create support for protocols that aren't present in Firefox. e.g. it won't be able to add support for TLS 1.2 or similar. It's just a configurator, meaning a front-end for existing preferences and options in the browser.
