I would like to know where extensions are kept.

I have recently migrated to a new computer, and had to install a new version of Pale Moon. This new version was a tarball that I unpacked into my profile, while the old version was installed into my computer using pminstaller.sh. This meant that I've lost all of my add-ons, including extensions, user scripts, and user styles. I managed to get the old hard drive out of that computer, and I can use it externally, but I am having trouble tracking down the previously mentioned things. Can anyone tell me where they would be stored, and where would I put them to get them onto the new version of Pale Moon?

Go to you old home dir in the the old hard drive, the .monchild productions there is to be, and the whole data are inside there.

Your home dir\.monchild productions on the new drive and profile there is a new place to copy data

Thank you. I found the .moonchild directory on both of my hard drives, and I found most of my extension data. I also found my old GreaseMonkey scripts. The only things I'm unsure of now are where my old user styles are, and where my old adblock list is. At worst, I'll just have to remake those myself. :)

Check in some of the subdirectories within your Profile folder.
