Windows 10: Browser profiles

Browser profiles (firefox, chrome, flock) will they not get overwritten as well when I install them again as I don't want to start them from scratch as well as I have a lot of stuff saved on them profiles I use

:)

 

Google App Sync Problem Windows 10

Experienced same issue as above, attempted all suggested solutions. Was attempting to create profile with Windows 10 Edge browser (as that was default browser). When I switch to using Chrome, profile was created and all sync'd
fine.

 

Not Able to access secure web sites after installing Windows 10.

This procedure did not fix the problem. Under "Mode" the following settings were selected:

Browser Profile: Desktop

User Agent string: google chrome (Changed from original setting Microsoft Edge (Default).

In fact, any other browser profile also did not work. Please advise.

 

My brother has moved all of my userdata folder from my old hard drive to the new hard drive on his windows 10 computer that I am buying off him in march when he gets his own computer can I just load my profiles I used and then I am good to go and I should have everything that is on that profile and continue from where I left off

 

I'm using Firefox, Chrome and flock so hopefully when I check my userdata folder under C/user/userdata ect or whatever the location is lol they should be there

 

If you uninstall Firefox or Chrome, the Profile is not removed. I do this on every new release of Firefox. Flock is the same way.

 

So I just install the browsers I wrote down in my first post then use the profiles that I used on the old hard drive what have been moved to the folder if I remember what they are thanks

 

You can backup profiles just to be safe:

Firefox Keeps Re-enabling Bing Solved - Page 3 - Windows 10 Forums

Well you can use the software linked in the post to backup Chrome & Firefox profiles. As for Flock it appears to have been discontinued years ago. I don't know where the profile is stored.

You can back up profiles to USB Flash Drive if you like.

 

You can back up the entire program with this..Firefox and Thunderbird

Download Mozbackup - MajorGeeks

 

I see that it does backup Flock. I've used MozBackup in the past but developer states:




Note
MozBackup is not being developed anymore. There are known issues and there is no time on my side to fix all issues and develop new features. Use MozBackup only on your risk


Can you confirm that it still works with FF Quantum?

Cheers.

 

I don't know yet until I get the computer in march

 

The userdata folder with all the browser profiles have already been moved from my old hard drive to the new hard drive so I am ready to just choose the profiles that I used on my old hard drive when I have installed the browsers I just need to know okay

 

Will this still work doing this if anyone can help me

 

For Firefox just backup (or copy) the highlighted items. Restore to the same location when needed.




RE: Chome & Flock profiles. I don't use either so cannot help. I do use chrome variants.

 

I know where chrome and flock profiles are saved so I should be okay. But will profiles still work if transferred from one hard drive to another as i need to know if i will be starting from scratch. I haven't backed them up they have just been transferred from one hard drive to another okay
