How Can I Import Firefox Settings And Bookmarks From A Separate Partition On The Same Hard Drive?

By J | Published: September 6, 2009

Here is the situation I have two heavily customized installations of Linux Mint 6 on the same Hard Drive. Both are running Firefox 3 Web Browser. One of the installations has all my Firefox Bookmarks and Settings. How can I import a duplicate to the Firefox on the other partition.
Any ideas please

    Just move the Profile folder. It is at ~/.mozilla/firefox and is called something like “jfeibl4d.default”
    look at the profile.ini folder in order to make it show up in the new folder. Or just rename it to the same as the one at the place you are copying into.
    Firefox is 100% cross platform, so this even works between operating systems.

    Use the firefox extension known as FEBE. It’ll backup extensions (including forced installs), user profs, data, history, passwords, etc. that you can install later using the same extension.

    Firefox’s settings and bookmarks and everything in between is located at ~/.mozilla. Copy ~/.mozilla from your first computer to the other one, restart Firefox, and it will be identical.
