FireFox and Mozilla. Share with Windows and Linux
With these steps you can share info with Linux and Windows for Firefox and Mozilla. All your bookmarks, history etc. will be the same from Linux to Windows. Mail sent, received etc. will be the same from Windows to Linux.
First thing you need is to have a dual boot system set up. I have Windows Ubuntu Suse and Pclinux.
Next needed is a Fat32 partition (not needed for multi linux OS's). And read write permision. This is what my fstab looks like for my fat32 partition. /dev/hda7 /mnt/share vfat mask=0,user,codepage=850,iocharset=iso8859-1,exec 0 0
The part (/mnt/share) is the way that I mount that partition. You would need to change this to your preferences. Then we create a directory to put the shared data in. After you have read/write permision, use the md command to make a folder, or as I did, right click and choose create folder in your file manager. I used my name (just in case there were to be multiple users). So my directory tree looks like this mnt/share/Mike.
Under that directory I created two more. One for FireFox and one for ThunderBird.
