On Macintosh the profile data is located in For Mac OS 9:

system disk::Documents::Mozilla::Profiles::[profile name]::[random string].slt

For Mac OS X:

~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/[random string].default/

Camino

Linux

On Linux the profile data is located in:

~/.mozilla/[Linux Login Name]/[randowm string].slt/

What is the [random string].slt all about?

As an extra security measure Mozilla adds a random string to the path of the profile. This makes it a bit harder for vira/etc to obtain the path of the profile. For more information see bug 56002.

If you still can’t find your Mozilla profile you can do a search for any of the following files:

  • prefs.js
  • bookmarks.html
