Nice MM78 , your posts definitely inspired me to change over to portable Firefox, a few weeks ago, and I love it

It's just a lot easier, and neatly organized all on one user account and I put every browser in one folder.

I ended up just creating all new browsing history, and started slow, no withdrawals for a week

But if I had this I would of transferred all the cookies over as wel


Good stuff thanks😄😄😄

good, i will try...Thxs did you ever check this site for cookies=> https://www.maxa-tools.com , they have a cookies test that's free, its pretty cool....cheers

Re: Moving Cookies from Firefox to Portable Firefox
 

I'm still having a tough time finding the folder! How did you even know where to find the cookies folder on your PC? Were you unsure if you were copying the right files the first time you did it?

I'm finding a lot of .plist files in my mac. I wonder if that's Apple's version of the sqlite?

Re: Moving Cookies from Firefox to Portable Firefox
 

On OS X, the profiles folder containing cookie.sqlite is at one of the following locations:

• /Users/<USERNAME>/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/<profile folder>
  
• /Users/<USERNAME>/Library/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/<profile folder>

<USERNAME> is the username of your OS X account, and <profile folder> is one of those folders with random letters ending with .default.

You may not see the Library folder in Finder by default, you'll have to enable hidden files and folders to be shown first.

Re: Moving Cookies from Firefox to Portable Firefox
 

Thank you so much for your reply! You definitely have me on the right track. I am trying to export my cookies from Safari however, not Mozilla.

So right now I am on /Users/<USERNAME>/Library/Safari/ and this is as far as I have gotten without being certain where to go to find the cookies I need to export to a portable browser.

I see one folder whose directory is /Users/<USERNAME>/Library/Safari/Databases/__IndexedDB/<Website Name>/Augur/IndexedDB.sqlite3

This is the only place I can find a file with an .sqlite attached at the end.

And I am assuming once I find the correct folder in safari, I transfer them over to mozilla portable browser in the same folder that MM mentioned in his original post?

Re: Moving Cookies from Firefox to Portable Firefox
 

This guide is for transferring cookies between Firefox and Firefox. Safari and Firefox don't store cookies the same way thus you can't use this guide for it.

Re: Moving Cookies from Firefox to Portable Firefox
 

I appreciate your help , is what I am trying to do impossible? Is there no way to transfer my cookies from Safari if I wish to start using portable browsers?

Re: Moving Cookies from Firefox to Portable Firefox
 

What you can do is first INSTALL Firefox on your Mac. Upon running it for the first time, it will ask if you want to import your browser data from Safari first. Try selecting yes, and try this guide afterwards.

However, I don't think cookies are imported using the import feature, only things like browsing history. It's still worth a try though.

Re: Moving Cookies from Firefox to Portable Firefox
 

That's a great idea. I will give it a shot and test it out on a couple stealth accounts.

Re: Moving Cookies from Firefox to Portable Firefox
 

Would give this a try

Is the process still the same? and should I import Browser data as well?

Re: Moving Cookies from Firefox to Portable Firefox
 

Just spent an hour trying all these complex difficult things. and here this is right here. copy pasta donezo. Now i can backup all my accounts in case of an issue with the hd or whatever

Re: Moving Cookies from Firefox to Portable Firefox
 

So I've been moving cookies from an old account that wasn't active for a long time to my other computer.
Thing is PP and EBay seems to be OK but Google says this is a new device and asks me to verify.

Is there any way around this?
