所以你已经获得了一台新的Windows机器。恭喜！但现在出现了烦人的一点：Firefox配置文件迁移。
您现在的任务是将 Web 浏览器配置文件迁移到新计算机。你甚至从哪里开始，对吧？好吧，没有必要担心。它并不像你想象的那么复杂。
在这篇文章中，您将学习如何将您的Firefox设置从一台 PC 复制到另一台 PC。您可以创建一个Firefox帐户并使用它跨设备同步您的数据，但本文适用于那些希望将私人数据存储在本地的人。
为什么
要将 Firefox 配置文件复制(Copy Firefox Profile)到新计算机(New Computer)？
从技术上讲，您不必这样做。您可以开展业务并开箱即用地使用Mozilla Firefox 。
但对于一些用户来说，那是行不通的。一些用户投入时间和精力来配置他们的网络浏览器以匹配他们的工作流程。
他们下载附加组件并保存最适合他们的设置。他们需要的是在所有设置完好无损的情况下打开
Firefox，这样他们就可以开始运行了。
从旧计算机迁移设置意味着可以立即访问您的书签、历史记录、密码（如果已保存）和附加组件。
这也有助于恢复重要数据。无需重新下载或重新配置任何东西。
如何移动 Firefox 配置文件
您需要什么：(What you’ll need:)访问您的新旧计算机以及U(USB)盘。
注意：(Note:)在本教程中，我们将使用Windows 10。但是，旧版本的Windows(Windows)的迁移过程应该类似。
复制旧的 Firefox 设置
首先，登录您的旧计算机并确保关闭Firefox。
右键单击开始(Start)按钮。单击搜索(Search)并键入%appdata%，然后按 Enter。
这将打开
AppData文件夹，其中保存了Firefox数据以及其他应用程序的数据。
右键单击Mozilla文件夹并选择Copy。
如果您还没有插入USB记忆棒。(USB)您还可以使用启用了读/写功能的其他形式的存储设备。
将Mozilla(Mozilla)设置粘贴到您的记忆棒上。安全弹出您的USB并分离设备。
传输文件
打开新计算机并插入外部存储设备。再次(Again)，确保Firefox
已关闭。
复制外部硬盘驱动器上的文件。
像您之前所做的一样，打开AppData文件夹。这一次，不要复制，而是将Mozilla(Mozilla)文件夹粘贴到
这个位置。
注意：(Note:)如果在粘贴旧文件夹之前已经出现Mozilla文件夹，请先删除现有文件夹。(Mozilla)
如果成功，您的新计算机应该可以使用旧的Firefox设置。
配置火狐
最后一步基本上是要求Mozilla识别您添加到
AppData文件夹的新设置。
再次打开Search并输入(Search)firefox.exe -p然后按Enter。
这将打开Firefox 选择用户配置文件(Firefox Choose User Profile)窗口。
您有三个主要选项可供选择：创建配置文件(Create Profile)、重命名配置文件(Rename Profile)和删除配置文件(Delete Profile)。由于我们正在创建一个新的默认配置文件，请选择Create Profile。
将弹出一个新窗口，即创建配置文件向导(Create Profile Wizard)。单击(Click) 下一步(Next)
开始。
在下一个屏幕中，系统会要求您创建一个新的配置文件名称（忽略现有配置文件）。输入名称或保持默认选项不变。
单击选择文件夹(Choose Folder)。仔细检查文件夹位置是否正确。Firefox应指向默认位置，即：
C:\Users\YOUR PC
USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
如果一切正常，请单击完成(Finish)退出向导。剩下的就是选择新创建的配置文件，退出选择用户配置文件(Choose User Profile)，然后启动Firefox。
现在您可以在应用了导入设置的情况下使用Firefox 。
How to Migrate a Firefox Profile the Right Way
So yоu’ve scored a new Windows machine. Сongratulatiоns! But now comes the annoying bit: Firefox profile migration.
You’re now tasked with migrating your web browser profile to your new computer. Where do you even begin, right? Well, there’s no need to worry. It’s not as complicated as you might think.
In this post, you’ll learn how to copy your Firefox settings from one PC to another. You can create a Firefox account and use that to sync your data across devices, but this article is for those who would prefer to keep their private data stored locally.
Why
Copy Firefox Profile to a New Computer?
Technically, you don’t have to. You can go about your business and use Mozilla Firefox out of the box no problem.
But for some users,
that just won’t do. Some users invest time and effort to configure their web
browsers to match their workflow.
They download
add-ons and save settings that work best for them. What they need is to open
Firefox with all their settings intact so they can hit the ground running.
Migrating settings
from your old computer means having immediate access to your bookmarks,
history, passwords (if saved), and add-ons.
This also helps in recovering important data. No need to re-download or reconfigure anything.
How to
Move Firefox Profile
What you’ll need: access to your
old and new computer as well as a USB stick.
Note: In this tutorial, we’ll be
using Windows 10. However, the migration process should be similar for older
versions of Windows.
Copying
Old Firefox Settings
First, log into your
old computer and make sure you close Firefox.
Right-click the Start button. Click Search and type %appdata% before hitting Enter.
This will open the
AppData folder where Firefox data are saved along with data for other
applications.
Right-click the Mozilla folder and select Copy.
Plug in your USB
stick if you haven’t already. You can also use other forms of storage device
that have read/write capabilities enabled.
Paste the Mozilla settings onto your memory stick. Safely eject your USB and detach the device.
Transferring
the Files
Open the new
computer and plug your external storage device. Again, make sure that Firefox
is closed.
Copy the files on
your external hard drive.
Like what you did
earlier, open the AppData folder. This time, instead of copying, paste the
Mozilla folder in this location.
Note: If a Mozilla folder
already appears before you paste your old one, delete the existing one first.
If successful, your
new computer should be ready to use your old Firefox settings.
Configuring
Firefox
The last step is
basically asking Mozilla to recognize the new settings you’ve added to the
AppData folder.
Open Search once more and type firefox.exe -p then press Enter.
This will open the Firefox Choose User Profile window.
You have three main
options to choose from: Create Profile, Rename Profile, and Delete Profile.
Since we’re creating a new default profile, select Create Profile.
A new window will
pop up, the Create Profile Wizard. Click Next
to begin.
In the next screen,
you’ll be asked to create a new profile name (ignore the existing profile).
Enter a name or leave the default option as is.
Click Choose Folder. Double check to see if
the folder location is correct. Firefox should be directed towards the default
location which is:
C:\Users\YOUR PC
USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
If everything’s in order, click Finish to exit the wizard. All that’s left is to select the newly created profile, exit Choose User Profile, and start Firefox.
Now you can enjoy
using Firefox with your imported settings applied.
