Moving profile from portable to regular installation

Unread post by Nuck-TH » 2023-04-01, 18:10

Operating system: Wondows 10
Browser version: 32.1.0
32-bit or 64-bit browser?: x86_64

What is best practice(c) way of moving whole profile from portable version to regular one?
I know that several default perfs are different, but not much else...

  1. Start the installed browser once. Close it.
  2. Replace the contents of the created desktop profile with the contents of User/Palemoon/Profiles/Default in the portable. (delete+replace)
  3. Remove "user.js"
