Better not be calling me a liar. You can verify it yourself, make a new login on your machine, copy your Mozilla over from Application Data (which is a hidden folder by default, but we should all know about Windows’ “hidden” folders) to the new account, login to the machine with the new account, come to FR, and check out how you’re logged in just like it was your old Windows login.
We were getting a network shuffle at work, so everybody was getting new machine accounts, when I copied the folder I figured all I’d get was my bookmark list and various UI/ usability tweaks. I was pretty surprised to find it moved the keys to my FF universe, convenient so long as I’m the only one on the machine, scary if somebody else get’s in there.

Oh, please. Surely, you can't be enough of a noob not to know the "bfl" means Bump For Later.
That does work. I moved my entire FF install when my old machine died unexpectedly and by moving all of its folders to the right places on the new machine, it continued like there had been no interruption...all passwords, history, prefs, everything.
