I got a laptop thats fried with juice or something. its plugged in now just for a charge for a last chance test to see if it will turn on.

if not, im yanking the HD. can passwords saved in a browser be pulled? and where would those files be lol.
im assuming its firefox but i havnt looked yet

The last time I had to transfer stuff from another HDD I was able to pull all of my passwords, bookmarks, extensions and open tabs from the Google Chrome folder in AppData so I don't see why it'd be any different for Firefox

you might be able to but i really doubt it

C:\Users\AccountName\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
Should be able to copy the contents of the folder in there with the random numbers/letters in it's name and, after installing Firefox on the other HDD, dump them in whatever folder with random numbers/letters in it's name it creates


If that doesn't work there's probably something somewhere else that I don't know about, I'm 100% certain that you can transfer everything about your browser from one HDD to another in some way however.
