Changing to XP
I am getting ready to reload XP onto a new Western Digital hard drive with 8MB cache. Bad as I hate to, I plan to phase out 98SE, which I am going to miss but I don't see that I have any other choice, since it is no longer supported by M$ or vendors. Anyway, I wish to backup my Firefox history and settings and transfer them to the new installation. How do I do this?

Ignore the liberal media. They do not report the news but their slanted infotainment version of it, and should be declared enemy combatants for willfully undercutting and sabotaging the ongoing war on terror. It's OK to disagree with the reason for the war, but sabotaging the effort is treason.

Check this out: http://www.techsupportalert.com/how_...la_firefox.htm
The programs that do the job for you are pretty good, i've used them before.

??? I'm not dependent on MS for support, never have been, and plan on using 98SE until I find something better which is NOT XP! I can do\am doing all I want with 98SE with a considerability smaller installation than XP. In fact my current 98SE installation, with add-on programs, is smaller than a basic installation of XP! As long as software does not wear out 98SE is the OS of choice for me ubtil I find a viable alternative. 
I have Norton Ghost copies of 98SE basic installation, 98SE fully populated with other programs, XP basic installation, and a copy of XP fully populated with other programs. in addition to having the Ghost copies on a HD I have CD or DVD backup copies. Norton's Ghost makes a compressed copy of all data in C: partition and allows a <10 minute restoration of a completely trashed system. I won't compute without Ghost!

rednek tek; You do not have to change to XP and abondon 98SE. As is there are thousands of programs for 95\98 "out there", enough to keep you busy (and happy) for years . Heck, I am currently sorting out over 1200 98 programs (for storage on DVD) and that is from just 7 CDs with about 25 or 30 more CDs to sort. I am a "mature" citizen and plan on having a copy of 98SE on CD in my right hand in the coffin!  
Try as I and LDThornton do, use Ghost or Drive Image to make copies of your OS setup and use 98 until the software wears out!
