If there is to be a change, modifications are needed.) (This assumes that your User-ID on the new system will be unchanged from the old. By all means, do your copy-out to USB all ofĬ:\Users\Paul\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox. Before you do any copying, clear cache and (optionally) cookies. Recently did something similar to this on my wife’s new machine.Ġ. Microfix has the fail-safe method, and is more granular if one wants to compartmentalize. I will, however, back up my bookmarks (have never done it before, but it’s not rocket science with the instructions I’ve found from Mozilla), and I will make a separate copy of my prefs.js file, since you say that it’s the source of many of my customizations.īTW, I’m not running any extensions within FF, so no worry about that potential mess! I’m afraid that starting with a clean FF80 installation and then “importing” my profile settings (like with prefs.js) may well wipe some of my settings within the config file. My current FF79 installation is the result of in-place updates over several years (using the built-in updater), and many settings are still present in the config file, and I’d like to keep it that way as much as possible. The reason I said “to be “safe”” above is that I’m not sure if FF80 will support my tweaks by forcing them on a clean installation.

After successfully launching FF79, and seeing that there are no problems with the “imported” profile and tweaks, I’ll then go online with it running and immediately use it’s built-in utility to update it to FF80.

So, to be “safe”, I’ve d/l’d a full copy of FF79, and will install that with the new computer offline, per your suggestion for FF80 above. I will not have access to the old computer after the 24th, therefore I won’t be able to d/l FF 80 until after I get the new computer. I’ve done this so many times with different OSes linux/win7/win8.1 and W10 without fail Go online, add your chosen extensions and then import the settings you saved earlier. over write the prefs.js with the one you saved earlier, then import. Custom install offline (as a precaution and my preference but, nothing set in stone here) your clean profile will then be created on the first start of firefox.Ħ.
When available, my preferred method is to go to the Mozilla FTP and download FF80.ĥ. Export any extension settings that can be exported and save somewhere for import later.Ĥ. Users\xxx\appdata\roaming\Mozilla\profiles\firefox-default\prefs.jsĢ. copy over (save somewhere) your existing prefs.js which has all you tweaks within.

The method I suggest is, to leave the newly created profile on the new PC and OS once installed, thus avoiding any issues that provides a lean/clean profile as a template to work with.ġ. Looking forward to answers from one and all, including ! I’ve seen all kinds of answers all over the place, including in some Mozilla support forums, so that’s why I’m, any thoughts on the best method, since, IMHO, you’re the resident expert with regards to FF here on AskWoody? If not, then should I just replace the existing files and folders in the new FF installation’s newly created profile ( without renaming the profile) with the files and folders in my old profile? If not, then can I just rename the profile that gets created during the installation to match my existing profile name, copy the files over to the proper location on the new computer and have FF use that?ģ. After installing FF without launching it immediately after installation, can I just copy my entire folder of my profile into the correct location and have FF just use it without having to invoke the profile manager?Ģ.
I know just where the folder resides and where it’s supposed to reside on the new computer.ġ. I plan to copy the entire folder to a thumb drive and then from the thumb drive to the new computer. I have so customized FF that I want to obviously move my entire profile to the new version that will be installed on the new computer.

HOWEVER, I will be installing software after getting the computer, and I will be installing Firefox 80, because that’s going to be the new default version of FF starting next Tuesday the 25th of August.

I’m getting a new computer, complete with Win 10 Pro 圆4.
