Hello
I have been using firefox sync for a long time to migrate between PC to PC
My firefox sync profile is full of old stuff and I would like to clean up my settings by wiping out my firefox sync settings and starting fresh.
However, before doing that I wish to export all my data/settings/password/cookies/bookmarks and everything, so files on my computer.
Files that I can read in notepad and inspect. See which settings I have in there and decide which settings I want to put back in my new installation.
I have found a locked question about this on this forum
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1065938
It mentions two plugins for this purpose
FEBE (Firefox Environment Backup Extension)
OPIE
Unfortunately and worryingly, they have been removed from the firefox addon store
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/febe/
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/opie/
I found a wikipedia article about FEBE
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefox_Environment_Backup_Extension
a very old link to download a probably broken version
https://febe.en.softonic.com/
and a reddit thread about FEBE which states that there is no equivalent and that it is not possible to export firefox settings anymore
https://old.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/t2zmjb/febe_alternatives/
as for OPIE, I am unable to find explanation of what it was, where it went or who used it
I know that my profile is stored in
C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\4vdt083m.default-release
However the files and structure in that folder are inscrutable
I would like to have control over the settings of my browser, what they are, to save them and modify them on my own terms.
I would like to export about:config completely to a regular plain text file, edit them and import them back in.
