You can transfer it over, but it's not quite that simple.

You should find in the depths of your system the "profile" which is normally a folder with random letters then .default

Set up your new Firefox with nothing more than the "default" that it applies.

Close Firefox and copy the xsr43lkj89xcorblimeymate.default from the old machine to the powwhambatmaxxx7364.default of the new one.

Restart the new one, and open Firefox. If you're lucky, you've won.

A clue: the .default files usually live in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Firefox\Profiles - or something like that. I got so fed up with searching for them that mine live in I:\Profile which I can find easily. Mail is in I:\Mail which works well, too. I stands for Internet, me being a simple soul.

I don't know where the "disable BBCode" lives on PPRuNe
