Mozilla Profile Locations by Platform

By default, Mozilla profiles are stored in different places on different platforms. Users may also choose a directory or folder in which to store their profile data.
</p>
<p class="text">
<a name="14168"> </a>
The directories shown in <a href="profile_appx_cck.htm#14318" >Table&nbsp;C-1</a> are the defaults for profile and registry storage. Paths to the <code>Mozilla</code> directory vary among platforms. The <code>mozilla</code> directory always contains the following:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
The profile registry (name varies among platforms)
<a name="14726"> </a>
<img src="pixel.gif" align="top" height="22" alt="" />
</li><br>
<li>
A directory called <code>Profiles</code>
<a name="14738"> </a>
<img src="pixel.gif" align="top" height="22" alt="" />
</li><br>
</ul>
<p class="text">
<a name="14751"> </a>
The Profiles directory contains one or more directories whose names correspond to Mozilla profiles (shown as <em>profile_name</em> in <a href="profile_appx_cck.htm#14318" >Table&nbsp;C-1</a>). Each of these directories includes another directory whose name is composed of random numbers and letters (shown as <em>salted_name</em> in <a href="profile_appx_cck.htm#14318" >Table&nbsp;C-1</a>).
</p>
<p class="text">
<a name="14692"> </a>
<b>Important:</b> The directory <code>Application Data</code> may be hidden on some Windows platforms (such as Windows 2000). If this is the case, the user should follow these steps to see it:
</p>
<ol type="1">
<li value="1">
Open the View menu for the Mozilla directory and choose Options.
<a name="14831"> </a>
