Pale Moon more unstable after copy profile from one PC to another?

[SGvagon]

Hello,

I have only question about copying profile from one PC to another with different configuration. After copied Pale Moon with this profile is slower and more unstable than on previous machine (maybe CPU usage is higher too on play media content) . Is it normal, because in about:config (prefs.js) there are different values example for GPU and RAM?

So if I want to copy PM profile to another machine, I must create new one? Then manually set all settings, extensions and bookmarks? Or there is some better way to do this?

Thank you in advance.

Different machine, so different hardware...

Copying a Profile on the same machine is one thing.
Copying it to a different is something different, IMO.
(That said, I wouldn't particularly expect a Profile copied from one machine to another to misbehave - particularly. And if it does - as you seem to be seeing, then I'd try a different method. Starting clean is always best.)

I would start with a fresh Profile (on the new machine).
Bookmarks, history, ... should be good to bring over.

Extensions, I'd be apt to reinstall.
Preferences, I'd try to leave alone - at first, to make sure that everything is working as expected.
(Matter of fact, even dismiss bookmark, history & the like - initially. Get PM installed, run it - as is, & ensure that it's working acceptably. Then move over bookmarks & whatnot. Then add back extensions. Checking as you go. Then adjust your Prefs - understanding that some changes you may have made before, may not be applicable to the new system. [And some may not be applicable to any system .])

therube : Ok thank you, and how to copy history, cache, cookies, ... ? These data is in some file in profile folder?

Bookmarks and history are in places.sqlite, cookies are in cookies.sqlite, your saved settings are in prefs.js, passwords are in logins.json, and you also need key3.db for the password decryption.

Goodydino : There are more places files (places.sqlite , places.sqlite-shm and places.sqlite-wal) , same with cookies. They are these two files necessary?

-shm and -wal are temporary files for open databases. They will be folded back into the main .sqlite upon shutdown.
(as one of the main reasons you should never, ever, copy/backup a profile while it's in use)

Moonchild : I only checked these files and I had run Pale Moon in this moment. Yes, after exit browser these files gone . Thank you for explanation.
