Where are cookies stored + How do I transfer to a new computer?
Can someone advise on how best to transfer to a new computer ALL settings I have.
I have many websites I use and sign into. They all rely on tracking you and making sure its you.
While this is a good thing, but the problem is when I want to use a new computer. I now have to jump through many hoops and verify by mobile. For my bank, I even have to wait for a new code through the post.
Thanks.

One way is to use sync to share the data.
This is another way;
Type about:support<enter> in the address bar.
Under the page logo on the left side, you will see Application Basics. Under this find Profile Folder. To its right press the button Show Folder.
Linux: Under the page logo on the left side, you will see Application Basics. Under this find Profile Directory. To its right press the button Open Directory.
Now Close Firefox. This is your current profile. Copy the folder As Is to a folder on a thumb drive. Then Copy the folder to the new system.
