The problem with this is that the various Firefoxes version will look at 
the wrong place for their profiles, therefore She sets the 
MOZILLA_HOME=R:\MOZILA.ORG\MOZILLA in the .cmd that will migrate the 
profile and also place it in the .cmd file that will kick off the mailer 
itself. Moving the FF profiles to the new r:\mozilla.org\mozilla will be 
undertaken at a later time - to get the mailer to function properly with 
a new profile must come first IMNO :-)

She will look into this - it the old sick profile can be migrated 
automagically She don't have to hunt down the various key files like 
7840something.s and .w. When the new profile is created it's simple to 
move these files to the new profile plus the Bookmarks and History files.

PS. Her names will be changed, the first name is "Lessa" and the surname 
will be "Mirrimdotter" after two strong female characters in Anne 
McCaffrey lovely "Dragonflight" sf novels - She has EVERY on of them 
here in Her new flat, but must buy 3 novels as these novels are damaged. 
Luckily these books can be bougt here in Sweden at the bookstore "SF 
Bokhandeln" in Stockholm, our capital city. No need to order them from 
Amazon :-)
