By the way, one of the really cool things about Linux is it being able to “see” the Windows files. Did I just misinterpret something - I read a lot of stuff before diving in. I’ve searched the forum and Googled looking for the answer, but can find nothing regarding this Mint 15 installation option. However, that opportunity was never presented to me during my installation, so my question is, how do I invoke that operation? I’m mainly concerned with Thunderbird that’s the one I would really like to have migrated as easily as possible.
To wit: I think I remember seeing that as part of the installation process Mint 15 would ask me if I wanted to migrate my Firefox and Thunderbird setup/data from Windows to Mint. I plan to ditch Windows 7 once I have migrated everything I need from Window’s. Using two great online web tutorials, I have successfully installed Mint 15 as a dual boot with Windows 7. So after a long investigation I’ve decided to try Mint - MATE.
As I get older and being alone at home, Windows has become an unbearable burden. I have now tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, Thunderbird, and MozBackup multiple times, and running MozBackup multiple times, and the same thing happens each time.I’m a newby to Linux, but have used HP-UX before retiring 13 years ago. It has all the data from Firefox Synch, except that (as before the attempt at using MozBackup) all of my carefully curated folders of bookmarks from over a decade of use are gone (all the bookmarks appear to be there, but there is no organization or folders). Firefox has the tabs I opened on this machine before trying to restore the profile from my other machine. Thunderbird has no email profiles nor any saved emails, it is a perfectly clean new version asking me to set up a profile. I used MozBackup to backup my profiles on my old machine and restore them on this machine.Įxcept when I open Firefox or Thunderbird, nothing has been restored. I downloaded both Firefox and Thunderbird to my new machine. This time, I am moving from a Windows 7 machine (but with up-to-date Firefox and Thunderbird). I have used Firefox and Thunderbird for many years, and have always used MozBackup when I upgraded to a new computer.
