Hello,

James here. I CAN NOT find the Firefox application file location. There is no option to show file path upon right click of the desktop icon and I can not locate it in File Explorer. I have done an entire (C:) drive search and turned up nothing. C:\Users\(username)\AppData\Local\Mozilla Firefox does not exist in my file system. I am at a loss here and it's driving me bonkers!

Note that AppDate is a hidden folder.

You can use the button on the "Help -> More Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page to go to the current Firefox profile folder or use the about:profiles page (Root directory).

Firefox MSIX from the MS Store has the profile in this location:

  • C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Packages\Mozilla.Firefox_xxxxxxxxxxxxx\LocalCache\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox

Long story short: Download Firefox from the website and NOT the Microsoft app store. The file path location from the app store is garbage, confusing and fraught with permission errors and hidden folder/files. In the end, I never could find it. I just uninstalled, deleted everything I could find with the words "Mozilla" and "Firefox" and then reinstalled from the website.

TL/DR: Do yourself a favor if you're reading this and download Firefox from the website like a normal human being, not from the app store like me. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction Paul.

Why do you need to access the installation folder?

The Microsoft Store package (MSIX) is more restrictive but has better security.
