Upgrading PM for Linux

Unread post by aerio » 2014-04-06, 03:39

Hi,

On the Wiki page about installing and uninstalling Pale Moon for Linux, regarding upgrades it says:

Delete the directory/opt/palemoon --- Extract the contents of a newer Pale Moon archive to /opt

So basically just delete everything and replace it with the new version.

Which folders do I need to keep if I want to retain my settings, bookmarks, add-ons, etc?

Thanks.

Just use the command line instruction given below that line. Your bookmarks, extensions etc. are stored in ~/.moonchild productions, which obviously I haven't told you to delete.

If you're confused, you can wait a few hours for the installer which will automatically do all this for you.

Thanks. I didn't know about the other folder. I've deleted the Palemoon folder and extracted the new version in there and it works fine with everything retained.

Cheers
