Firefox (FF) and Thunderbird on Linux notes

Backing up FF and TB

The configuration directories of FF and TB are located in the user's home directory and can be easily located and backed up with a simple tar command

Firefox: .mozilla directory

Thunderbird: .thunderbird directory

Warning! These directories are hidden and may use a lot of disk space! You may want to check how much they are using from time to time, if you are a bit short on space: cd; du -sh .mozilla .thunderbird
If need be, you can move these directories by roughly following the steps described for Windows
