  1. Profile Manager - Create, remove or switch Firefox profiles

    User Comment: It would help if you said how to install backed up preferences, bookmarks, history into a new profile. You tell how to make a new profile but not how to put data into it.

  2. I've edited the *Managing profiles staging copy to add a new section, "Recovering information from an old profile". Needs review/approval.

  7. This article needs a few tiny updates for Fx 4:

    • The quit Fx instructions need to be updated (we have a template)
    • Does Fx 4 work on Windows 2000? If not we should remove that part from the Fx 4 instructions

  8. ''Does Fx 4 work on Windows 2000?'' It should, according to [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=579078 Bug 579078 - Decide & declare a minimum Windows version required for Firefox 4] P.S.: [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=586314 Bug 586314 - Update system requirements page for Firefox 4] is now fixed. *Firefox 4 requirements are now at http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/4.0/system-requirements/index.html (it lists Windows 2000). *Firefox 3.6 requirements are now at http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/3.6/system-requirements/index.html

  9. I added the closeFirefox template but it didn't work out too well because the template covers Windows XP as well as 7/Vista and doesn't mention 2000.

    The best I could do was to combine the "Windows 7 and Vista" and "Windows 2000 and XP" instructions into one set of steps for Windows.
