• 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.
  
  See also the about: cache for the location of the cache page.

  You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

  • Help > troubleshooting information > profile directory: opens showing the file

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• Link graphics in the folder that is located in the root folder of Dreamweaver

  I have a main root folder for a Web of DW site. In this folder, I have folders for a slide show. For the buttons in the main page to link to different slideshows, I have to put a version of mainpage in each slide show file. So, essentially I am making copies of the html of the main index, renaming them and placing them in folders * in * the root folder.

  My problem is that all the graphical links are broken. I get this and it makes total sense, but I can't put the html files of link outside these folders on the other that they will not display the individual slide shows, I want to make a link to the main page.

  My question is: Y at - it a way to keep active links of in a folder in the root folder? or I have to copy the used graphics and put them in each slide show file.

  Any thoughts are appreciated.

  Thank you, sharon

  Hello

  Remember that your code must also point to the pertinent files so that your script to find.

  for example - where you have SWFObject ("illustrations/viewer.swf"...)

  Make sure it points to the viewer.swf file. This applies to all of your script code, if you have a file in the main folder, you're good, but if you move it to a subfolder, you need to change this for - ("'... / illustrations/viewer.swf '... more code), in order to find the code.

• After the upgrade from my bookmarks list shows the entries less than before; the indications you have search a Profiles folder that does not exist.

  After Update Firefox on all November 9, I lost the list of bookmarks that I had before and it could access it from my homepage. Now it does not appear there. When I followed the instructions on your mozillazine.org help page, it says to find a profile file that does not exist with this version.

  One possible cause is a problem with the places.sqlite file that stores the bookmarks and history.

• my pc disconnects when trying to save in the folder that is located on the same network share as "offline files".

  I have 11 Windows 7 and they were all 'My Documents' redirected to a folder on a network (H:\) drive, in other words it has been made available offline. On this network drive, there are various files, some are personal folders and some are for public use (DATA, COMMONS, etc...)

  Now, sometimes when I try to save a document in the network drive, but not in my personal file, lets say H:\common, the laptop disconnects and shows me all the folders in this shaded in grey, network drive (as when I'm offline) and by the single folder is the personal folder which is always available. When the application attempts to save to disk network is displayed with an error message saying that he was unable to record on the disc, the laptop comes online again. This process can take anything from 10 seconds to 5 minutes and in a few rare occasions blocked the entire computer and I had to restart the machine.

  I'm having this problem on all computers, but not all the time, it can produce a few 3 - 4 times per hour, sometimes I can secure documents without any problems, and sometimes, it has not allowed me.

  Besides some of the laptops are connected to a windows 2000 server server and others to a Windows 2003 server, and as I said, all have this problem.

  I tested and replaced, hardware, tried the service packs, disabled antivirus programs, disabled the Auto Disconnect on servers... STIL not luck

  Any ideas?

  Thanks in advance

  Hi rpgoni,

  Your question of Windows 7 is more complex than what is generally answered in the Microsoft Answers forums. It is better suited for the IT Pro TechNet public.
