Some key things to note, which affect our task: I’ll supplement this with some additional details below. The best place to get this information is the Mozilla support page – “Where Firefox Stores User Data”. # Example: "C:\Users\Joshua\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\fault-release" Researchįirst, let’s investigate how Firefox stores user bookmarks. If you have the basic *nix utilities installed, you can use this one-liner to get the path on Windows: tail "%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\profiles.ini" -n +2 | head -n 1 | sed -E 's/Default=//' | xargs -I % echo "%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\%" | sed -E 's/\//\\\/g' This is the definitive documentation on how to find this folder location. This is a special folder, whose location is unique to your computer due to its use of profile IDs and OS user directories. Pretty much all of your data in Firefox is stored in your profile folder. If you want to jump right to the solutions section, click here, otherwise read on. As such, lately I was thinking I really should set up some sort of backup system, but I had trouble locating any commands or scripts that could accomplish this. I’ve amassed thousands of bookmarks, some of which I have spent time organizing and tagging. I’ve been a long-time Firefox user – for over ten years at this point.
