Firefox uses two folders in a hidden location for the Firefox profile folder. One location for personal data like bookmarks and logins and another location for temporary files like the disk cache.

location used for the main profile that keeps your personal data (Root Directory on about:profiles).
  • ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/<profile>

Secondary location used for the disk cache and other temporary files (Local Directory on about:profiles).

  • ~/Library/Caches/Firefox/Profiles/<profile>

In Mac OS X v10.7 and later, the "~/Library" folder in the Home directory is a hidden folder.


You can copy certain files with Firefox closed to thecurrent profile folder to recover your personal data. Note that best is to avoid restoring a full profile folder and only restore important files that are safe to restore/transfer.
