I've recently purchased a new macbook pro. On my old one, I had a large number of search settings- various wikis for games, mostly, but also some utility searches for work. I've already synced everything else, but what's the easiest way for me to transfer all my search bar settings over too? I'd really like to not have to go to each individual site and add them if I can help it

search.json.mozlz4 (v45+) contains the search engine data

Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles.{web link} I use an add-on that makes backups of my user profile, Just In Case. Unfortunately, it is not compatible with the current Firefox.

Every now and then, open the profile folder and create a copy of the current profile as is to another location on your hard drive. This way you will have a backup.

If you do this each day, you will not lose much data. This should be done with Firefox Closed.

Note: In case you need to restore from these backups, you may need to overwrite old or corrupted files.
