Suspicious files in the profile folder

Similar Questions

• What is the extension of the files in the profile folder - file the emails, but not the message .msf file?

  I need to recover a lost Inbox (lost due to a failure). The file to the Inbox in the profile folder is somehow cleaned as if the record has been compacted and some new emails have been added. The size of the file is now a few hundred KB when there should be a few hundred MB. I have run a recovery of files on this disc, but now have thousands of files with names like Raw122354 and don't know what to look for, because the Inbox file has no extension. I can remove those with file extensions I don't know, but that still leaves too many to go through.

  I guess I should also ask if this is a waste of time, if I have a chance to recover the file?

  Messaging files are text files, so yes, you can open them with a text editor. I wouldn't try to open a file of messages Gigabyte with Notepad however.
  There is no need to rename the file with a .txt extension, it can be opened with any text editor without worrying.

• Just cache the files in the profile folder

  My laptop froze all using firefox and make is no longer on. I took the hard drive to back up important files including my firefox profile. However, the profile folder contains only files cache and nothing else. What happened to my bookmarks information? I was running 14 Firefox on Windows 7.

  Look you in the wrong place (probably in Local Settings\Application Data).
  
  This location is used for the cache and not the main Firefox profile folder:

  • C:\Documents and Settings\ < user > Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ < profile > \Local Settings\Application.

  The main profile folder is located here:

  • C:\Documents and Settings\ < user > < profile > \Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\.

  If you do not include this file in the backup, then I'm afraid that your personal data is lost.

• Is this OK to delete the cache files in the profile folder. I have more than 20 in there. I just keep later?

  My default profile to 8xvafniu.default folder currently contains Cache folders numbered up to 23, a record of OfflineCache and startupCache files numbered up to 6.
  I can delete these leaving me alone with the numbered last Cache folder and startupCache folder. The OfflineCache file I'll keep, of course, as well as the 2 files urlclassifier.
  Thanks for your help.

  No, you must keep all records of cache. Versions of Firefox 4 + use a different and distributed cache files subfolders structure to make it possible to store more files in the cache.

• What is the q2tw177e.default file located in the profile folder

  The application data folder, windows xp, has a folder called q2tw177e.default, located in the profile folder. I know nothing with this label when searching google. Makes me suspicious of this folder. Nobody knows anything about. Thank you.

  There is nothing to fear from this folder.

  This is the real Firefox profile folder that stores your personal data.

  There are two of them:

  • C:\Documents and Settings\ < user > < profile > \Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\.
  • C:\Documents and Settings\ < user > Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ < profile > \Local Settings\Application.

  The latter is used for the cache of navigation and a few other files.

  Piotr,

  If it's convenient, the absolutely safest approach is to delete the profile folder 4dhjzo2v.default while integer that TB is arrested.

  If the person is to use IMAP or POP with an option to leave emails on the server, there should not be a loss of emails (except in local folders).

  If there are important e-mails in local folders, and they are not infected, they could be exported to support storage and then imported into the new profile. There is an add-on to tuberculosis, which allows the import and export of emails in different formats.

• Is there a way to merge the bookmarks on my old pc with those on my new pc? (PS: I have unable connect to the old pc using old profile but can access the profiles folder).

  My profile on my old laptop has become corrupted and I can't log in with my regular account (admin). I would like to add and merge bookmarks former firefox to another laptop, which already has existing bookmarks. I can not simply copy and paste the profile folder as this would crush my existing bookmarks and settings. Unfortunately, I have not set up the sync on this browser feature.

  Unfortunately, Firefox doesn't have good tools to merge and dédupliquant bookmarks. I will propose a roundabout way to do. Here's an overview:

  (1) create a new profile Virgin (#3) in your current Firefox (see details at the end)

  (2) while using the #3 profile, restore a file in JSON format to backup your old (#1 profile) system (see restore bookmarks from a backup or move them to another computer)

  (3) export bookmarks restored to an HTML element in a perfect location, with a file name unique format (see Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file for backup or transfer bookmarks)

  (4) exit Firefox and is reactivated in your normal profile (profile #2)

  (5) file bookmarks import as HTML (see import bookmarks in HTML file)

  (6) create a backup in case something is not going to step 7 (see restore bookmarks from a backup or move them to another computer)

  (7) rearrange bookmarks in the folder of imported bookmarks (see https://support.mozilla.org/kb/use-bookmarks-to-save-and-organize-w...), possibly using an add-on deduplicating

  Create a new Firefox profile

  A new profile will be your plugins installed by system (for example, Flash) and extensions (e.g., security suite toolbars), but no themes, other extensions or other customizations. It should also have databases of completely fresh settings and cool a cache folder.

  Out of Firefox and start in the profile using Start Manager > Search box (or run):

  firefox.exe -P
  

  Do not delete anything here. Any time want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog box.

  Click on the button to create a profile, give it a name like OldBookmarks and skip the option to change the folder. Then launch Firefox in the new profile that you have created.

  You are ready to return to the new profile and create export to HTML format.

  When you return to the Profile Manager, you might be tempted to use the button to delete the profile. It's a little too easy to accidentally delete your 'real' profile, so I recommend you to resist the temptation. If you don't want to clean up later, I suggest to make a backup of all your profiles first in case something go wrong.

• followed all the instructions to copy files in the profile directory failed

  all files named from the old profile are new profile when firefox look any of the bookmarks etc are displayed - what to do now?

  "... "'old' files appear in the new profile but are re-created after firefox starts empty.

  Sounds like Firefox cannot have been closed completely when the files have been copied, or the copy and replace files with the same name did not. Windows should have asked if you want to replace each old file with the 'copied' version, and that didn't happen to you ignored.

  Or you copied the files in the profile \Local Sattings\App Data\ folder and not the profile folder OK \App Data\ - , but that would not have re-created empty files.

• Firefox 4. What is the difference between addons.sqlite and extensions.sqlite in the profile folder?

  I have separate facilities 3.6.15 Firefox and Firefox 4RC2, using their own separate and distinct profile folders.

  I already know that, in the profile folder:

  • Firefox 3.6.x has extensions.log, extensions.ini and extensions.rdf files
  • Firefox 4 has replaced extensions.rdf with extensions.sqlite
  • Firefox 4 has apparently no extensions.log
  • Firefox 3.6.x does not have addons.sqlite
  • Firefox 4 is has addons.sqlite

  For a better understanding of the present, can someone please clearly, answer the following 3 questions?

  What is

  1. the purpose of addons.sqlite in Firefox 4?
  2. How it / its function differ from the extensions.sqlite in Firefox 4
  3. both are really necessary?

  addons.SQLite stores the information that appears in the tab Addons > Extensions - under the button more , as well as the AMO URL for extensions that are not configuration to use this new feature.

  Extensions.SQLite stores the data on the installed extensions, by replacing the extensions.cache and extensions.rdf files.

  You really not need the addons.sqlite file, but I do not know the ramifications to delete the content of this file and 'locking' so that it is used. Not that it stores a large amount of data; only 320kb with 30 installed extensions.

• How do the profile folder to change the settings?

  A spammer has taken control of my email. AT & T says that I need to change my firefox profile settings, but I can't find the file. How to file.

  This has happened

  Each time Firefox opened

  Is last Thursday

  Robert, if AT & T indicates that you need to change the profile settings of Firefox, you really see the profile folder. All you have to do is change the settings of Firefox by clicking on Tools at the top of Firefox and then click Options. When you change the settings of Firefox in this way, they are automatically saved in your profile folder.

  In case you want to reset your Firefox settings to what they were at the time that Firefox has been installed, please follow the instructions in this article: Reset Firefox preferences to troubleshoot and solve problems.

  In any case, just for your information, you can view this article to know how to locate your profile folder: How to find your profile.

• Is it possible to prevent or remedy to have too many files in the DCIM folder?

  Is it possible to prevent or remedy to have too many files in the DCIM folder?  In a group of friends, when you view folders DCIM iPhone in Windows 8, three of us have many, many files (such as 101APPLE, 327APPLE, 328APPLE).  Phones concerned: 5 c, 6: 6.  Some have only one photo per file, some files have just a few pictures.  In addition, two friends have files dated 1969.  I think everyone has the most current ioS. What is the cause and is at - it a way to overcome it?

  No, it isn't. The DCIM and its content was never for public use to shoot photos and videos.

  Here's the right way to go about it.

• What is the file deleted the files in the main folder, and can / should I remove it?

  What is the file deleted the files in the main folder, and can / should I remove it? Is it too much room, I could use?

  This file stores a list of files from previous version of Firefox that are no longer needed or supported in the current version of Firefox. This file is only a few KB and it is best not to delete files in the Firefox program folder to avoid update problems. If the required files are missing or modified with a update Firefox will download the full version (approximately 10 MB) instead of a small incremental update which is usually only a few hundred KB.

• How can I move files to the system folder?

  Hi all

  I was wondering how to move files to the system folder. With the update to El Capitan and the former program is no longer works and the developer suggests moving some files on the system folder that should fix it, but even if an administrator account I don't have write access to the system-> library folder where they need to go. Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you!

  Steve

  In short: you do not have. The folder/System is only for Apple.  The new protections in El Capitan make it impossible for you to place the files.

  This is what the folder/library for: install additional components to the system, but keeping them separated from the basic installation.

  What software are you trying to run? What files we told you to move? I'm curious to know what type of developer will tell you to put the files in / System.

• Where the photos are normally stored on a Mac computer? In the folder images in the Finder on my Mac, I see a file called "Library.photoslibrary Photos" i.e. 28.52 GB but I also have about 160 other image files in the same folder. But in pictures,.

  Where the photos are normally stored on a Mac computer? In the folder images in the Finder on my Mac, I have a file named "Library.photoslibrary Photos" i.e. 28.52 gb and another folder called 'iPhoto Library.migratedphotolibrary' i.e. 4.95 GB, but then I have also on the 160 other photo and video files in the same folder. But in my Photos app, it says that I have 6 260 'elements '.

  The pictures that you have imported into the photo library are, by default, stored inside the package (not file) "Library.photoslibrary Photos" in your pictures folder. The 'iPhoto Library.migratedphotolibrary' package would contain photos that have been stored in your library, iPhoto at the time of the migration.

  The other files in the pictures folder are that: other files. Also, they can be in libraries if you imported and has not deleted the copies lying around in the images.
