From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

[SOLVED] if I copy a ff profile (folder) in a new computer I should see the bookmarks as well, right? (lemmy.ml)

yes, it copies everything, including history, bookmarks, installed addons and UI modifications.

And you need to select it in the profile settings (about:profiles iirc)

What I do is start up Firefox first to create all the first start files then close it and delete everything in the Firefox folder then copy across everything from the original pc.

Seems to work alright.
