I am working on the Firefox source code and I want to make sure that when I distribute the compiled version, the user profile that opens in the browser is the same as the one found in a specific location in the source code(obj-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc\tmp\profile-default) . How can I make sure that the user profile that opens in the distributed Firefox contains the same extensions and settings as the user profile stored in the source code

Additional details: I am on windows 10

Hi there! It's great that you're working on the Firefox source code. To ensure that the distributed Firefox contains the same extensions and settings as the user profile stored in the source code, you can follow these steps:

Locate the Firefox user profile folder on your Windows 10 system. The default location is usually C:\Users\<your_username>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles.

Copy the entire profile folder (obj-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc\tmp\profile-default) from the source code to the above-mentioned user profile folder.

When you distribute the compiled version of Firefox, make sure to include the copied profile folder in the distribution package.

By including the specific user profile in the distribution package, users who install and run the compiled version of Firefox will have the same extensions and settings as the user profile stored in the source code.

If users already have an existing Firefox profile, they may need to back up their current profile or manually merge the contents with the distributed profile to avoid conflicts or data loss.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions or need additional assistance.

Hi suram, thanks for replying

In the compiled distribution package that I generate with the ./mach package how do I include the profile folder(obj-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc\tmp\profile-default)?
