Hi. I am moving my Firefox settings from the old IBM to the new MintBox computer. Both run Linux Mint. Procedure so far followed:
1. Bring over key4.db and logins.json
2. Sign in to Firefox sync and import everything.
Over here I got my custom settings to save all cookies, even third party cookies, for the session. There were Exceptions, which did not come over. (Here I will Allow Always the websites I keep a cookie to log in automatically or set site preferences. I may even blockm certain third party sites from storing cookies. These deviate from the default, to allow for session.)
I did not get the custom thumbs I created over there for my New Tab start page pinned sites. I got the pinned sites OK.
This didn't work: I copied the .mozilla folder from my home and pasted it here by way of a flash driveafter backing up this profile. That didn't work when I brought Firefox up from a Thunderbird Mail link.
So now I looked to see what my Profile folder is called, stored in my home/.thunderbird/firefox/{Profile} as found under Firefox Help > Troubleshooting. I copied that folder onto a flash drive and have it available here.
How best to proceed? First I back .mozilla up, then open Firefox and go to the Troubleshooting page and open my active Profile. Then:
Copy selected files from my Profile over on the Flash drive and paste them individually here?
Delete everything here before pasting in a copy of the contents of the imported profile?
Don't delete anything here and paste contents of my imported file, overwriting?
I am tending to want to go with the first choice, adding or replacing files here with selected files from the imported copy sitting on the flash drive.
Is there a specific list and description of the various profile files I need to paste in? An up-to-date reference containing this info?
