I think you have to go into the applications and point them to the specific user file. When you do a new install, new user files are created, and the applications point to those rather than anything you bring over from your previous install. Here are some Mozilla docs that I've used to do this in the past: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Moving_your_profile_folder_-_Thunderbird https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles -- Steven Rosenberg http://stevenrosenberg.net/blog http://blogs.dailynews.com/click -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
