One of the things I really like about Firefox is the "Firefox Account".
The ability to get it all set up on a different computer by just syncing
into the account has made life easy many times.  With the old people I
have to maintain systems on, I set them all up on one.

Heh.  I am one of those old people and I started using Netscape .9 for
linux.  I even used Mosaic a few times!
 
I meant no disrespect, and should have said older than me (I ain't no
spring chicken).  Couple days ago, my mom got silly and called the
number on an email from someone claiming to be from paypal saying they
were charging her account $500.  My younger nephew was there at the
time.  She figured out during the call it was a scam and hung up.
Delete the email and move on.  No harm.
 
For some reason the nephew decides she needs to reinstall windows cause
she got phished.  Not sure exactly what procedure he used, but he
effectively did a full install and erased everything she had on her
system.  All pictures, documents, contacts...every damn thing.  He never
asked if she needed anything saved or backed up.  Then, he got stuck in
an endless loop which would not allow it to finish the installation.  He
texts me for help, and I let him sweat it out.  When he failed to figure
out how to move forward I told him to just leave it and I would take
care of it.
 
I was able to get it done and get everything installed again, and
Firefox was the only thing that was back as it should be because of
having the Firefox Account.  Didn't lose any email since I had her on
IMAP, but he toasted all her contacts.

My goodness! Use a Mac with iCloud.

I imaged it all before giving it back to her and hope she learned a
lesson or two.

Obviously not yet.
