Upgrade Storagereplace Zotero data base
Hi,
Due to a serious difficulty with Firefox 16 I had to reset FF which creates a folder on the desktop with the old extensions including zotero, and kills the Zotero data base in the original location.
Now I want to restart FF with the extensions re-enabled. How much do I have to copy from the old installation to the original folder? Are there specific precautions to take ?
TIA

The easiest is to just replace the new "zotero" folder with the old one entirely. Strictly, you only need to replace the file zotero.sqlite and the folder "storage" and its contents, but I don't see why you should go through the trouble.
Only precaution is to work with a copy of your back-up/your old Zotero folder in case something goes wrong.
