is it possible to manually copy on the old profile extensions?

On one of my computers, I recently created a new profile to do some troubleshooting and experiment. It went well and I may as well keep the new profile, but a handful of my extensions are no longer available for download from the center of the add-on. They worked fine on my FF version, everything is no longer in charge I guess and removed (nothing to do with my troubleshooting problems).

Is it just a matter of copying the file as to the comparable place in the new profile? Just as I copied on various other "important data."

Assuming that Yes, the other problem is how to identify what the add-on is when his name is {<-like-string guid >} as.

I think the old extension profile folder has probably way extensions more that the old profile used in fact. Files as modules 'removed' stay in this folder? or more simply 'disabled '?

[fwiw, the platform is 34.0.somthing W7 Vista and Firefox]

The old profile will always load? If so, the support information page combines the names familiar extension to their GUID (be it):

  • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
  • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
  • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

Scroll down to the Extensions table.

In regards to the copy, it is usually an as file or folder.

For as files, you can drag and drop them on a tab in Firefox (running in the new profile) to install.

On the other hand, I'm not sure that Firefox will recognize folders if you copy them to the new profile, or how to induce him to do so. There probably are a few discussions on either here or on the MozillaZine forums (unofficial).

  • Files in default\profile are not copied to the new profile

    I get conflicting information on how to create a generic profile to use throughout my organization. Using the Profile Manager is not relevant to my situation.
    I tried placing files/folders in the directory "Default\Profile", "Browser\Default\Profile" directory, etc, and nothing is never copied into a new profile.
    Specifically, I created a custom "userChrome.css" file I want to distribute. What I've read, a chrome folder must be created in the directory xxxxxxx.default of the user and the .css file placed inside.
    What Miss me?

    Thank you.

  • Cannot open the files I copied from the old computer

    Hello, I copied a photoshop program from my old laptop to my hard drive, in order to put it on my new laptop. However I can not open it.                 I have all the individual files, but cannot click on any open my program.  Can someone help me?

    Thank you.. .yeeehaaa

    Generally, programs such as Photoshop can not be simply copied but must be "installed" on another computer.  Installation involves more than a simple copy of the files to their appropriate locations, but also set the registry values and registration of .dll files and sometimes services facility.  I recommend that you get out your original installation disk and re-install the program properly.

  • Change hard drive - how do I reinstall Windows copy on the old drive?

    I intend to change my old hard drive to the laptop with a new one. Windows Vista comes with the old drive, how can I move to the new? Copy + paste does not work completely. Thank you!

    Hello

    There are different ways to do

    hard drive manufacturers will normally provide the cloning software to move your operating system installed from the old to the new hard disk

    Search for information on this subject on their Web site

    If you have vista business or ultimate, you can use the builtin vista complete PC Backup to move

    read the information below

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial145.html

    or if you have vista home version you'll need 3rd party software

    link below is an example of this:

    http://www.Acronis.com/homecomputing/products/TrueImage/index.html

    also to put your machine how you bought:

    1. that vista is preinstalled, you should have a recovery on your old hard drive partition

    You can recovery disks to reinstall on your new hard drive

    ask the manufacturer of the machine how

    2. contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    3. or borrow a microsoft dvd vista

    Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

    they contain all versions of vista

    This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

    I had problems with my laptop (do not start) last week and I managed to save some stuff from the hard drive before reinstalling Windows. Now I'm on duty, I don't know how to import passwords from Firefox seems to have changed a little. I managed to restore my favorites, but that's all.

    Also, is there a way I can import my old browsing history?

    Thank you very much. x

    Yes, this place is not the Firefox profile folder, but the location of the folder that contains the files to create a new profile new model.

    See:

    Go to: Control Panel > Folder Options > "View" tab > under "Hidden files and folders", select "Show hidden files and folders".

    To see the file extensions for all files uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types".

  • Is it possible to go back to the old button "new tab"?

    I would like to be able to place a 'New tab' button just next door (or on) the label active current as previous versions allowed.

    I think same pre - RC versions of Firefox 4.0 did this, now I can not do this after updating to the latest version.
    (it is true that this was a while ago now, but I thought I would try to understand)

    This new tab button should appear immediately to the right of the last tab.

    You can try to use the restore default set in the window customize to see if brings back this button in the default location.

    Open the Customize via "view > toolbars > customize" or "Firefox > Options > toolbars."

  • Retrieve messages from the old profile.

    I had an IMAP account with a company that I have used to work. I deleted the account in Thuderbird and they took the account on their server. Now, I have to be able to read old emails.

    Profile and all emails are on my computer and I can read the files in a text editor. It's a little heavy. Is it possible to restore the profile in my Thunderbird? The other answers to similar questions has always had the account be recreated, but I can't do that as my username and password get rejected.

  • Moved again LT - installed Thunderbird - transferred the old profile file and profile.ini - install new cases of tuberculosis shows the file Structure but I can't open to display messages

    Just moved LT from a device running on Win Vista (SP2) to the new device on 8.1 Win 64 bit
    Installed last TB for this new device and registered the profiles.ini and profile data on Dorpbox
    updated the new TB software on new device - profile folder and ini loading profile file

    'C:\Users\Martin\AppData\Local\Thunderbird\Profiles '.
    'C:\Users\Martin\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\profiles.ini '.

    It loaded my old settings and I can now send and receive emails.
    My question is:

    In the navihgation pane, everything is like in my last LT, but if I select a folder - it only shows me the configuration page and not the list of messages in the display pane. The only way to display these message is to click with the right button on the required folder and open it in a new tab or window. Then I can see a list of messages!

    I read area online a lot to find my specific problem, but none related, please advise?

    Thank you
