I am a pretty basic user. I bought a 2 GB SanDisk Cruzer Titanium that came pre-loaded with U3. I started using the U3 version of Firefox 1.5.0.x (just updated to 1.5.0.10) and liked it. I have Firefox set the way I like it, with specific bookmarks in folders on the toolbar, etc.
I have decided to dump U3 and convert to PASuite.
What is the simplest, most straightforward way to make this conversion, while preserving my Firefox info / bookmarks and retain them and have them port to / be active in Firefox 2.0.x in PASuite when I install it?
P.S. I'd like to delete the U3 partition from my USB stick at the end of the conversion.
Thanks in advance for the help.

This will let you back up your entire profile, including extensions, bookmarks, passwords, settings, history, whatever. If you choose the option to backup your entire profile, you end up with a single file that contains all your information. It's a bit annoying to restore a profile for FFP, because it can only restore to a profile recognized by the local Profile Manager (and not a profile currently in use), so you'll need to overwrite an existing local profile, then copy the profile into the profile directory in FFP. I recommend creating a dedicated local profile for this, in case you want local and portable profiles to be different. And disable FEBE on a flash drive when not in use, I've heard they don't play nice together.
Of course, if all you want is your bookmarks, there's an option in the Bookmarks Manager File Menu to export your bookmarks, and another to import, which is much simpler than FEBE.
