Hmm.

And he responded with:

No, it would install to my /home directory, and run independently of
Ubuntu's version.  Having to log into all the sites I use would be a
waste of effort, since Ubuntu will no doubt release an update before
long.

And I responded with:

It can, bookmarks, cookies, etc, too. He's using the distro build. He 
could copy the data and restore it, but he'd have to know where his 
profile is being stored on his distro, since it's not using his home 
folder.

How is what I wrote not as concise and clear as what he wrote to 
you? Further, I provided you more specific information than he did. 
He was of the mistaken impression that he couldn't load the non
distro version and copy all of his things over to it. He doesn't
seem to know the folders location or the actual names of the files
he needs to copy. I do, it's why I wrote what I did. It's how I keep
all my computers with the same bookmarks on them. They aren't all
even using the same OS, but since I know where the important files
are and what they are named, that doesn't matter. 

Snit, cluebyfour, we disagreed with each other in our replies to 
you. I don't see how that's more concise and clear for you. He told 
you no, I told you yes and went onto tell you what else you could 
copy over if you wanted to do so. He was concerned with losing 
things - if he really knew what he was doing, he wouldn't be losing 
anything, and wouldn't have told you no. 

And, he'd know the non distro build doesn't have to be installed
into his /home folder, either. It could be installed to the same
location as the already existing one, or his /home folder or damn
near any other place he wants. And he can, whenever he likes, copy
the distro browsers info to the non distro version. His history, the
cookies, bookmarks, even the fucking cache itself if he actually
wanted it for some reason. Again, he wouldn't have told you no and
given you a lazy generic reason for why if he really knew the OS as
well as he lets on. 

Hell Snit, as part of my data backup procedures, my browsers data
folder is also backed up. So I can easily restore my previous
browsing experience if something breaks. I've got a lot of custom
bookmarks, and logins for electronics related sites, so I too need
my browser to remember things for me. And like Joel, I take
advantage of browser history to quickly return to some site I found
interesting but didn't have the time on my last visit to explore as
much as I wanted. 

Before you misunderstand this reply to be an attack on your friend,
know that it's not anything of the kind. Your friend came a bit off
the handle at me the other day and talked a little bit out of turn.
I'm going to let it slide though, He's done no real harm, and I
think we both have a better undertanding of the other now. See snit,
that's how it works in the adult world. You should join us sometime.
