====== Firefox (FF) notes ======

<note tip>The Firefox configuration folder (settings, etc…) is stored by default somewhere in a hidden section of the user's Windows directory (C:\Users\<your_login>).

It's a good idea to move this folder to another known place, in order to be able to back it up or move it to a new computer later! </note>

<note warning>\\ If you are using Linux, go the the [[other:linux:tb_ff|Thunderbird and Firefox on Linux]] page</note>

The steps for moving/restoring the FF configuration directory are the same as the the [[other:thunderbird|Thunderbird steps]], except that the location of the configuration directory is slightly different

  * TB configuration directory:
    * **Windows XP**: ''C:\Documents and Settings\<your_login>\Application Data\Thunderbird''
    * **Windows 7** or **Windows 10**: ''C:\Users\<your_login>\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird''

  * FF configuration directory:
    * **Windows XP**: ''C:\Documents and Settings\<your_login>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox''
    * **Windows 7** or **Windows 10**: ''C:\Users\<your_login>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox''

<note warning>**If you get a new FF profile** instead of the expected one when you restart FF, make sure you follow correctly the steps explaining how to use ''about:profiles'' to **change the default profile**, at the [[other:thunderbird#a_note_about_the_firefox_profile_on_the_thunderbird_page|bottom of the detailed TB page]]</note>
