The default path of Firefox configuration folder in Linux

Article Title: Firefox configures the default folder path in Linux. Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Includes basic categories such as desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open source.

In Linux, the path is :~ /. Mozilla/firefox/xxxxxxxx. default/

For Linux users, start a virtual terminal and enter cd ~ /. Mozilla/to enter the Firefox configuration folder.

Note: ① [User Name] indicates the User Name entered when logging on to the system ("Administrator" by default, that is, "C: \ Documents and Settings \ Administrator \ Application Data \ Mozilla "), while the Firefox configuration file is a folder with hidden properties. If you cannot see it, select "show all files and folders" in "My Computer> Tools> Folder Options> View.

② Xxxxxxxx is an 8-bit random string.

③ In Linux, first switch to your home directory (enter cd in the terminal), and then use ls-a to view it.

In the graphic interface, you can find related options on the file manager to display hidden files. For example, click "edit"> "first"> "View"> "hide ". You can also find the "show hidden files" option in the view (or other) menu.

The configuration file is the place where Firefox stores various settings. In addition, the cache, installation extensions, and themes stored during Webpage Browsing are also included. To restore Firefox to its initial state, you only need to delete the configuration folder.
