formhistory.dat has all your form history

signons2.txt and key3.db have your saved passwords
Hope I didn't forget one

thanks man it went fine in FFP2.
so is there any way i can copy the history and passwords from FFP2 to FFP3?
i tried copying the profile but it didn't work. is there any work around this?
way that I can see of doing this is to install a regular copy of Firefox 2 and then copy your portable profile to it. Then open your copy of FF3 and do File->Import select Firefox and import what you need.
N.B. I haven't tested this so I don't know if it will work.
when i went to the import wizard the Firefox wasn't listed and it imports only from IE
this is the first time i tried importing anything to firefox so does firefox can import anything from another copy of it? i thought it only imports from IE Only?
that is all it says for me too but I don't have a local copy of Firefox installed so I assumed that if you did Firefox would be an option. I'm afraid that I have run out of ideas now, sorry I couldn't be of more help, hopefully someone else will have an idea.
you helped me by given me an idea and i tried it and it worked:
copy your profile from FFP2 to a local copy of FF2 then install a local copy of FF3 then Launch it and it will automatically copy your profile from the FF2 local copy after that that close it and copy your local FF3 profile to FFP3 and every thing will be there
not sure that you can use the same method for FF3 however as it uses a new system for it's bookmarks and history.
(except the addons, most of them are incompatible with 3.0 for the moment),so it´s ß, try out and see.
