    you cant get it to recognise your previous internet browsing history? if so then i presume it was because you were using internet explorer before. firefox wont be able to copy over your previous browsing history, only things like bookmarks etc.

    in firefox go to "help" and then "for internet explorer users", that might explain some stuff and help the transition

    Firfox uses its own history files not the ones in the windoes directories.

    Perhaps you could give me information on waht you are trying to do?

    Firefox 1.0PR and above has an import function when you run it for the first time off of a clean install that should allow you to specify importing your history, bookmarks and connection settings from IE.
