How to migrate installed Firefox (installed once from classic package) to snap. Latter one still not installed. Aimed goal: To have Firefox in snap app as well as unchanged user experience in Firefox after this migration is completed. Will it suffice to understand Firefox generic user data usage/local configuration as well as how snaps are working in general? In other words: Any specifics regarding Firefox machin-local/user configuration when Firefox is installed in snap (except snap framework specifics)?
I use ubuntu to deal with daily job. Now I buy a new laptop, and I want to migrate my whole system(programs, packages, data, settings, etc) to the new machine.
I know I can copy my home folder to new machine and I will get (almost) all data and settings. But is there a safe way to copy the whole system? Or it's a bad idea?
So I've just had to do a reinstall and as part of that process, I'm starting a new account to remove some of the crufty config I've built up over time.
I've been fairly successful cherry-picking certain applications' configuration by copying over their old directories but gedit is being a pain.
I've already copied over the following:
.gconf/apps/gedit-2
.local/share/gedit
.config/gedit
And that has allowed me to use my old plugins but nothing else. It's not remembering colours, which plugins were enabled or individual plugin config.
I'm coming from the same version of Ubuntu so would have expected this to cater for all my settings. I'm afraid there might be config stuck in dconf.

I used Tomboy on a previous installation, however the Ubuntu One sync had stopped working (I had upgraded through several versions of Tomboy, and during that time I believe the storage system changed... possibly the reason).
Now I would like to migrate the notes to my Ubuntu 10.10 installation.
