My MacBook refuses to boot from the HD, but I can boot it from an external HD, and all my files are fully visible. Is there a way for me to access my old profile and import it to my current firefox?

Firefox uses two locations for the Firefox profile folder, so make sure to look in the correct location. Location used for the main profile that keeps your personal data (Root Directory on about:profiles).

  • ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/<profile>/

Location used for the disk cache and other temporary files (Local Directory on about:profiles).

  • ~/Library/Caches/Firefox/Profiles/

In Mac OS X v10.7 and later, the "~/Library" folder in the Home directory is a hidden folder.
