Pale Moon forum

Can you copy a Pale Moon profile from one linux computer to another linux computer in the way that can be done with FF in Windows? In this case, to make it most likely to succeed it would be from linux Mint Cinnamon to another linux Mint Cinnamon. Maybe also from Cinnamon to Mate, but I can't yet get PM installed in an old 32-bit Pentium M with Mate.

So far all I've managed is to copy my bookmarks via html but doing so leaves my Toolbar bookmarks in a folder and I've had to manually move them from the folder to the new toolbar one by one. And I've also set up extensions one by one manually.

Yes, the profiles are located in . You should be able to copy it from one system to another.

Thanks for the reply.

I need help with the ~/ part. I don't know where in the file system to begin in order to find the program files for PM.

~/ Is your home folder.

Thanks -- found them.

Thought I'd post complete instructions here for any in the future searching this. This applies at least to Mint Mate and Cinnamon.

Open File Manager. In the View menu at the top, click on Show Hidden Files. Then open .moonchild productions, and from there, pale moon. Then you'll find the two files you need, the profiles.ini and the default. Those two you copy and move to your other install of pale moon, deleting the ones already there.
