Profile Transfer Between Devices

wellisthislongenough

I am trying to export my firefox profiles between two firefox instances on the same PC. The windows ones, which were the originals, work fine. When I boot into ubuntu though, When I put the files into the profiles section of firefox it is unable to recognize the files, even when I rename them to the default profile. Is there a fix for this?

Check which folder you are using for firefox: ~/.mozilla/firefox or ~/.config/mozilla/firefox

AFAIK from 147 on it should be using the second.
