I don't know that is possible. You could always ask on one the the lists or newgroups dedicated to Mozilla support. You can probably migrate the profiles manually, but I would need specific directory names for both the old and new mozilla install to provide sufficiently simple directions. >Profile files into the new directory, it is clear that they are just >ignored, rather than triggering >any option to convert them. This is expected. Basically what you need to to is create dummy profiles for the profiles you want to migrate. Once this is done, you can hex edit Profiles\registry.dat to point to the old profile directories. This is easy as long as the path names are the same length. The profile data can be moved to a new location, but this would take for edits.
