Tools -> Switch profile is not available in Firefox. You have to open 
the Profile Manager through the command line (./firefox -profilemanager).

Cookies are stored in cookies.txt.

Passwords are stored in signons.txt or *.s in an older profile. Copy 
over key3.db and sigons.txt. If it's the *.s file, copy it over and 
rename it to signons.txt.

can leave this here a few days, right?)
