Chosen solution

The parameters of the currently selected persona are stored as a pref setting in the prefs.js file in the Firefox Profile Folder.

You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

Thanks for replying, I could not find the prefs.js.moztmp file... Also, I tried holding down the CTL button as I clicked any file within the "prefs.js. file and did not get any "Get Info" tab .. I am a newbie using this stuff, so I could have made a mistake.

Thanks.
