How do I migrate my Mozilla folder to a hard drive with it working?
Hi, I used to love Mozilla Firefox but I stopped using it for a year, it's unbelievably slow, you can't do anything! I don't know what to do. My hard drive has lots of space but I can't figure out how to put my Mozilla folder into my hard drive with it noticing, help? I really can't handle google chrome anymore.

It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

You can also try a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder.
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.

If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem.
