Rick, I have the same question with the Adelphia address book also.
What does export/import features do with Firefox? I am too new with Firefox and Thunderbird to know jack.

Jonah, Anything for the Mac OSX system?

I have Firefox and am still wondering how my favorite places were transferred from my AOL account to my new Adelphia account? Baffles me!

I did use Firefox with AOL. Firefox will file and transfer that info over to a new ISP?
If so, what about thansfering the address book also?
How would that work?
Right now I am copying and pasting into Adelphia's new contact address book from a Word doc copied from AOL.
Takes a while to do this.
Thanks,

-Kevin

I found out that if I export my address book as a csv file, I can access it and modify it with Open Office. I can the save it to a 3 1/2 floppy.

Thank you for the suggestion

Export to Where

Jonah, Export all files from Firefox to?Gmail?
(as an example)
Your address book and internet favorites from Firefox to Gmail? Need more info and how to do it.

For instance, in Adobe Illustrator, if I copy a file into memory and paste it into a new Photoshop doc. I can paste it into the new Photoshop doc.
Can I export from Firefox (memory) and (import it from memory) to Gmail the same way? Sounds simple enough, yet not sure of how it is done.
Thanks,

-Kevin
