All things have been covered in 2 questions you have with almost the same title. Enough is enough as provided duplicate information X times over.

It is time to start trying to do what you want.

This question has been asked and answered.

this is unanswered & unsolved, im the OP

where's the direct answers to any of the questions??

"You can copy files like these with Firefox closed to the current profile folder to recover specific data."

'with Firefox closed to the current' -- that doesnt make any sense.

- are you saying when firefox is closed?

- what are you saying??

"The Profile Contains :"

when was the question 'what does the profile contain' asked?

that question was never asked here

all of the questions that was asked has never been answered so far

Please ask a new question if you need help."

i want to make it clear that i never asked what are the files a profile contains

and yet that comment was said: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1226090#answer-1133946

that is not an answer to a non-existent question

i also want to make it clear i never said anything about 'sharing profiles using different computer systems' @FredMcD

so that again is not a direct or good answer the ANY of the unanswered & unsolved questions asked thus far

Use the button on the about:support page or the about:profiles page to go to the current profile folder. Then you need to close Firefox (File -> Exit). Once Firefox is closed then you can use a file manager to copy files from the other profile to the current profile.

If you can't successfully Copy & Paste files from one Windows Explorer window into another Windows Explorer window this process is probably beyond your capabilities. You need to master the basic operating system skills before moving on to the more complicated facets involved with manually working with applications and their data files.


You were given links the the basics by Pkshadow in his posting here - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1220304#answer-1118502 - and your response was "this is far too much".

Have you even tried to read, understand, and digest the information that was hyperlinked in that answer - over the last month and a half?

There is no "simple" way, it is a complicated process which is made worse when the user needing help hasn't yet mastered the basics of working with files in the operating system. Overall it's a matter of learning it in small steps in sequence to achieve the desired goal.

You may want to follow this thread over @reddit - sounds similar to what you asked here,

The steps very simply are this:

Simple enough.

'There is no "simple" way,'

really? so when are they going to fix it?

'may want to follow'

only link to answers, not random things that have no good replies

more options

You've been given the steps to do this. There is not another way, nor are there plans to change how profiles behave in Firefox.

You can ask for clarification on the steps, or I can lock your thread.

'create a second profile'

you cant just copy paste? you need to create a 2nd profile??

why nobody say that?

what's the steps to create 2nd profile?

the link is too complex as someone had already noted (too complex)

it's not listed in simple steps, and there's too much colours and nosie and all this other confusion that makes it hard

more options

i'll liek to make it clear that this is simple with chrome and not firefox, so when it comes to all software, remmber to blame the designer, not the user

if that isnt already well known i've tons of links from the best ppl in society, just ask me

I gave you explicit and clear directions on how to create a new profile, and copy everything. What more do you want?

I gave all needed directions above. What is specifically confusing?
