refresh folder created Old Firefox Data folder
I was having an issue that clicking on the lock icon did not give me an option to allow mixed content so I could play games. Frustrated, I did a refresh Firefox and it created a folder called Old Firefox Data. Should I just file away this folder or delete it?

The Old Firefox Data folder contains your old profile folder. Some of your Firefox settings, add-ons, and data may be found only in that folder. I suggest keeping it for a week. If your refreshed Firefox is good and you're not missing anything then it should be pretty safe to dump the old folder, although I personally would keep it a bit longer "just in case."
thank you..I put it in a saved info folder. I made so many changes over the years I cant remember what I did..so new it is and lets see what I miss..then I bet I will be again posting which file to copy and paste to new profile..always hate these learning curves at my retired age!
