Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
@ co-rel, that link is no longer valid because the Profile location on MAC OS X Lion has changed.
Thank you very much, Xircal. It works!
You're welcome.
The Library folder is now only a hidden folder, just like .mozilla on Linux and AppData on Windows.
Mac users will need to get used to browsing to hidden folders.
In Mac OS X v10.7, the $HOME/Library folder is a hidden folder.
Open Finder and use one of these:
- Use Go -> "Go to Folder" (Shift-Command-G) and type: ~/Library
- Open the "Go" menu and hold down the Option key to make the Library appear
You can also use this command in a Terminal window to remove the hidden flag.
- chflags nohidden ~/Library
put your pointer(arrow)to the very top of the screen for a couple of seconds and the menu bar will drop down (because it is now hidden).
