as promised, check it out- native NFS on windows (you'll need your

unless you mean the LAPTOP is hardy (i apologize; i found what you were
asking a teeny bit ambiguous), in which case sshfs is the way to go.
sshfs is fairly seamless.
if you, as i originally interpreted it, are referring to a windows
machien grabbing Tb and Fx profiles from a linux machine, the dot dirs
can be seamlessly copied over to windows and is totally compatible, and
vice versa (i BELEVE the mozilla directories under windows are under one
of the Application Data dirs).
