Viete o tom že všetky Vaše nastavenia ktoré nastavíte v prehliadači Firefox, ako domovská stránka, panely nástrojov, uložené heslá a záložky sú uložené v špeciálnom profilovom priečinku? Profilový priečinok je uložený mimo miesta kde máte nainštalovaný váš Firefox, takže ak sa udeje niečo zlé s Firefoxom vaše informácie tam napriek tomu zostanú. To tiež znamená že môžete odinštalovať Firefox bez straty vašich nastavení a nemusíte preinštalovať Firefox v prípade že chcete odstrániť vaše informácie alebo vyriešiť problém s Firefoxom.
