Bunnies, hope me - Mozilla to Firefox →[More:]Ok, I'm running Mozilla 1.7.5 at home, but am tired of the slow loading at start-up, plus the only thing I really use is the browser. So I'm considering switching to Firefox. Thing is, will my bookmarks carry over? Or how can I ensure they will? What about all my freaking cookies?

Any other issues I should be aware of?

Thanks in advance!

When I switched from Safari to Firefox, I got an option to import my Safari bookmarks, but I don't remember about the cookies. However, I am considering Camino now because FF drags after awhile due to the memory leak unless you quit it and restart.

Bookmarks are easy, they're just a file like good old Netscape did. It's called bookmarks.html, honest.

Cookies can also be moved, but guaranteeing that they work isn't as straightforward. Personally, I wouldn't bother (it's a way to clean out the ones you don't use).
