Hello

Running Firefox 48.0 on Windows XP SP3

while copying firefox profile to backup location, get "Error Copying File or Folder" "Cannot remove folder 212167069elm_adbn.files: The filename or extension is too long".

Anyone seen this before and know how to fix it?

Thank You

I believe that most folders ending in .files are usually for storing cookies or other website specific data. If you trace the file path for that folder, it usually is located inside of a folder called http+++[Website Address].com, which denotes which website that data is related to.

Nevertheless, you shouldn't have any issues with your backup profile if you choose not to backup those files.

If you do want to attempt to move those files, ensure that Firefox is completely closed and that you are logged into an administrator account.
