Comment 15 for bug 805136

To modify the Thunderbird settings, or Firefox, I installed the programs on my desktop Windows XP machine. I then copied the working files (on the Asus it was under my user directory as .mozilla and .thunderbird) to a USB card. From the USB card I copied them onto the respective directory on the Windows machine so that the windows unit now had the same information and configuration for mail and web browsing. You might need to tweek the profiles.ini so the Windows installation can find the new data.

After copying to the Windows machine, I logged on to Thunderbird and Firefox and made whatever changes I wanted since I have a large monitor and could access all the options. After that I copied the files back to the Asus and it worked fine.

I have since discovered that you can move the windows on the Asus by holding down the ALT key and using the mouse (left click and hold) and drag the window to access parts that were off screen. This should be noted in the manuals, but I did not find it there. While this makes it possible to access options that are off the small screen without resorting to coping to another computer, it would be much easier to use by just making the menus shorter to better fit a small screen. With Firefox the default browser on many of the small netbooks, this seems like it would be a worthwile effort.
