Go to :
Start
All Programs
Accessories
System Tools
Files and Settings Transfer Wizzard

Each browser saves this info in different places.Example  Netscape 
stores in a file (arbitray number) 123456.s (passwords) 123456.w (form fill)
I don't know FireFox

One good place to look for this info is the forum archives at
http://www.windowsbbs.com
