I have just upgraded to f30 from f29.
As I wanted to use firefox, I had a warning: "create a new profile".....
Why I can't use my previous profile?
I tried to create a new profile and: all my bookmarks, all my addons all my previous config have disappeared.
How can I recover? How can use my old config, bookmarks etc.
Your profiles are located at ~/.mozilla/firefox as a directory. The default profile would be named something like 56npld66.default and the profiles.ini should hold the needed information to start FF using that information.
For example my profile.ini contains
[Profile0] Name=default IsRelative=1 Path=56npld66.default Default=1
[General] StartWithLastProfile=1 Version=2
[Install11457493C5A56847] Default=56npld66.default
And, you can always start FF with a profile like this....
firefox --profile ~/.mozilla/firefox/whatever_directory
