Macos: Where is my Firefox profile ?

  • Suppose you want to retrieve your Firefox profile and move it because it has initially been installed on another HDD.
  • Copy your profile directory from your old HDD, e.g. :
/Volumes/osx/Users/jerome/Library/Application\ Support/Firefox/Profiles/2ii3i4a1.default/
  • Into the new disk at :
/Users/jerome/Library/Application\ Support/Firefox/Profiles/
  • Copy the name of the default profile that has been created on the new disk
  • Remove this default profile 
  • Rename the old default profile like the new one just copied.
