Creating Settings Clone Profile

Post by ltcomdata » 2025-11-08, 02:14

Hello:

I am interested in creating a clone of my profile --- but only when it comes to settings.
I.E. I do not want a profile that has the same bookmarks nor the same add-ons --- I want only the settings cloned (and if possible the toolbar buttons customization).

Is there a way to do this without going through each setting individually and manually re-setting it?

Thanks!

Backup prefs.js from the root directory of your profile, preferably while Pale Moon isn't running.

Toolbar buttons customization is in xulstore.json file.
