Moving Accounts To A New Computer
 

Call me, paranoid, but I have to ask. All of my accounts are currently run on partitions on my iMac. I have since gotten a new iMac as the old one is running its course. How much risk will it pose to the accounts as long as the VPNs are the same to put them on the new iMac. I am worried about the cookies and data just randomly going "blank" on the new device. I would be running firefox and the same settings as the original with the new.

I think you can also copy the cookies for each separate account. But I am not sure exactly how you can do that.
Maybe someone knows for sure.

Few posts exist around the forum - or go to Youtube and look up the process

Far to much is made about cookies and settings and browsers and blah, blah, blah on this forum. I have switched my accounts to new computers, I have never transferred anything, my accounts have never suffered any ill consequences.

If your account gets banned simply because you switched computers, your account was already about to get banned.

I've used VMs before and kept each machine clean that way, is a bit tedious but if you have a fast processing PC, should not be an issue.

Not paranoid, this is called smart thinking.

And yes, you can copy the browser history, Cooke’s everything from Firefox per user account and back it up, then transfer to new computer.

I haven’t done this for a while, but it works perfectly.

Valid approach.

All accounts are their own partition (MAC computer). I can easily create the same partition on the new MAC that I have bought with the said VPN. Just worried over the cookies that wont be able to be transferred via a fresh browser on the new computer.

you can transfer cookies from firefox to a new computer with new firefox.
