Subject: Tech: Firefox - Saved Passwords
I have just bought a new laptop, mainly for my wife's use.

She has forgotten a number of her passwords so I said I would see if could retrieve them from Firefox on the old laptop. Now it is quite easy to look them all up on the old computer and write them down so they can be typed into the new one, but I wondered if it was possible to retrieve the file they were saved on and copy it on to the new computer.

The old computer had WinXP (SP2) and the new one has Vista.

Any help appreciated.

As an aside, first impressions with Vista are that it's OK but I cannot see how it is an improvement on WinXP
