In the list of profile files, removed {for fx3} for site-specific information, autocomplete history and cookies as those files are used by all current versions of Firefox and were not being displayed for Firefox 3.5-3.6 and Firefox 4

A Firefox [[Profiles|profile]] stores all of your important data, such as your bookmarks, history, cookies, and passwords. This article explains how to copy the files to a new profile, lists important files in the profile and describes what information is stored in these files. If you are having a problem with Firefox then sometimes, rather than trying to find and fix the exact cause of the problem, it is easier just to make a new Firefox profile and copy your most important data over to it. Making a new Firefox profile and then copying over certain files gives you a fresh start while retaining your important personal data. {note}'''Note: Because your preferences and extensions are often the causes of problems, this article does not explain how to copy these between profiles. Therefore, if you follow the steps in this article, you will have to reinstall your extensions and reconfigure your Firefox preferences afterward.'''{/note} __TOC__ = Back up your current profile = Before starting it is recommended that you make a complete backup of your existing Firefox profile in case something goes wrong. Please read the [[Backing up your information]] article for how to do this. = Create a new Firefox profile = For information on how to create a brand new Firefox profile, please read the [[Managing profiles]] article, paying specific attention to the '''Creating a profile''' section. = Copying files between profile folders = ;:{note}'''Note: Firefox <u>must</u> be closed down while copying files between profile folders.'''{/note} # [[T:profileFolder]] # [[T:closeFirefox]] # [[T:contextmenu]] on a file you want to copy and choose {menu Copy}. # Open the new Firefox profile folder. # [[T:contextmenu]] inside the profile folder and choose {menu Paste{for mac} Item{/for}}. Repeat steps 2-5 for each file you wish to transfer over to your new profile folder. While copying your personal data from an old Firefox profile to a new Firefox profile, it is possible that you could copy over the file that is causing the problem you are trying to get rid of! The more files you copy over, the greater the chance of this happening. It is therefore recommended that: * You copy over only the minimal amount of files that contain your most important data that you simply can't live without. * You copy over a few files at a time, and then check that the problem you are trying to get rid of hasn't returned. = Your important data and their files = == Bookmarks and Browsing History == * {filepath places.sqlite} This file contains all your Firefox bookmarks and the list of websites you have previously visited. For more information see [[Bookmarks]]. == Passwords == Your passwords are stored in two different files, both of which are required: * {filepath key3.db} - This file stores your key database for your passwords. To transfer saved passwords, you must copy this file along with the following file. {for fx35} * {filepath signons.sqlite} - Saved passwords. {/for} {for fx3} * {filepath signons3.txt} - Saved passwords {/for} For more information see [[Remembering passwords]]. == Site-specific preferences == * {filepath permissions.sqlite} This file stores many of your Firefox permissions that are decided on a per-site basis. For example, it stores which sites are allowed to, or blocked from setting cookies, installing extensions, showing images, displaying popups, etc. == Search engines == * {filepath search.sqlite} * {filepath \searchplugins\} folder If you have installed any extra search engines then they will be in the {filepath \searchplugins\} folder. The {filepath search.sqlite} file stores the order that your search engines appear in Firefox. For more information see [[Search bar]]. == Personal dictionary == * {filepath persdict.dat} This file stores any custom words you have added to Firefox's dictionary. If you have never added a custom word to the Firefox dictionary, then you will not have this file. For more information see [[Using the spell checker]]. == Autocomplete history == * {filepath formhistory.sqlite} This file remembers what you have searched for in the Firefox search bar and what information you have entered into forms on websites. For more information see [[Form autocomplete]]. == Cookies == * {filepath cookies.sqlite} [[Cookies]] are used by websites for a variety of reasons, some of which include keeping you logged into a website you have previously logged into, remembering any preferences a website has allowed you to set, authenticating you as a person who has visited a specific website before, etc. For more information see [[Cookies]]. == Security certificate settings == * {filepath cert8.db} This file stores all your security certificate settings and any SSL certificates you have imported into Firefox. == Download actions == * {filepath mimeTypes.rdf} This file stores your preferences with respect to what Firefox does when it comes across known file types. For more information see [[Managing file types]]. == User styles == * {filepath \chrome\userChrome.css} * {filepath \chrome\userContent.css} If they exist, these two files store user-defined changes to either how Firefox looks, or how certain websites or html elements look or act. Most people will not have these files. You may have two files in the {filepath \chrome\} folder called {filepath userChrome-example.css} and {filepath userContent-example.css}, but both these files can be safely ignored. <!-- MZ credit --> <br/> <br/> '''''Based on information from [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox Transferring data to a new profile - Firefox (mozillaZine KB)]'''''
