I have used profile migration, but it seems to bring in old, unneeded
"stuff" from the other profile. I discovered this because I recently
got rid of an old, little hard drive (d:) where I once-upon-a-time had
Netscape 4.1 installed (when I upgraded to 4.5, I put it, and later 4.7,
back on c:). Last night I was looking in the pref.js file in my profile
directory and noticed several entries refering to that now non-existance
d: drive. I established a new profile and was amazed how many fewer
lines there were in the new pref.js file than in the old.
